The Huntsman - Australia's friendliest spider.
We'd give them the name man's best friend if they were big enough to hug.
That's not exactly reassuring.
I've had this is reverse... I was at work talking to a few people and I feel the hairs on my ankle move so brush my other foot over it, feel in again so brush my foot again. Happened a third time and I'm like this is getting serious so lift my leg up to brush it with my hand and cop a handful of huntsman. It's about that time I realise someone was watching my foot the whole time and she didn't say a thing, just let the whole thing play out
That sounds like something that I would absolutely do. Just observe and wait for chaos to happen while making a vague comment from time to time
"Hey, how many legs do you normally have on your leg?"
My current apartment has some weird issue with tiny flies. When we viewed it there were millions of dead tiny flies on the floors. Figured it was just because the windows had been left open, but no, they're still around. We've cleaned top to bottom and they're still hanging around. Hella annoying.
Anyway, when a hair moves ever so slightly here, it's always a bloody fly. Gods I wish we had a spider infestation instead.
Are they like fruit flies? This might sound strange, but wash the walls. Fly eggs will get laid on walls, so washing them off will make a decent impact. You'll have to do it a couple times
I’ll give this a go! We’ve not found any particular congregations of them. I’ve even repotted all my plants to check if they’re living there.
If they’re on the walls that would make sense.
To add to the other commenter about cleaning walls, clean your drains, like especially sink drains. There are flies that live specifically in drains. You also gotta nuke them for a while until it helps with drainflies.
You don't even need to nuke the drains. Just cover them up. I had drain flies coming out of my shower drain for weeks and couldn't figure out how to stop them initially. Read online to block the drain for a couple days when it's not in use. I just covered the drain with a sink plunger and they were gone.
Thanks, I’ve done this. Cleared all the drains several times, and the kitchen fan/sucky thing. That one was really gross so we thought might have been the source but alas.
I'd far prefer the huntsman to bedbugs. Huntsmans are pretty chill and eat bugs for you.
You did it! Won't sleep tonight
Just don't let your feet hang off the bed. Then the monsters can't get to them
The other day I put some pants on that were on the floor. I reached into the pocket and felt something move on my hand. I beat the shit out of my own thigh for 30 seconds, fuck you brown recluse!
....it was string.

Had that in my brain for months after scratching an itch on my shin and finding a tick crawling there
