It had moulted.

I collect them in a Tupperware tub and let them fight to the death. Often with surprising results.

Leave them alone they are heros. Brilliant to watch and they eat all the things we don't like.

You need to introduce something higher up the food chain into your house, if I was you I'd be looking at a pet spider eating monkey

Spider monkeys (image) are named because of how they look (with their spindly limbs), not because of what they eat. Most of their diet is is vegetarian. They do occasionally eat insects, but it's a tiny part of their diet.

I just thought I'd better make this clear in case the OP now buys a Spider Monkey, and is surprised that his home spider problem persists.

Other primates are available that will eat more spiders than a Spider Monkey!

We tend to just leave them, unless it's a big 'un. As mentioned, they're good for eating other creepy crawlies I'd prefer even less in the house. The 2 cats tend to get most I think anyway. They play with the spider for a bit then either eat them or plant a paw on them and squish them

We have 2 cats aswell. You are right, they are good spider destroyers

I'm intrigued.

Do they form a knitting circle instead? Fight to first blood? Convene an escape committee? Ignore each other? Custard pies?

Peppermint oil soaked cotton wool balls near exits/gaps etc, smells nice to us, smells awful to spiders/mice/rats etc etc

Or just man up and put them outside when you see them.

That'd be the place I'd be most inclined to look, although that's more a pass-time rather than based on any knowledge of spiders

Have a go yourself and find out: you only need a Tupperware tub and some spiders.

And some wool and some custard.
