🕷 My son and OH tell me we’ve had a huge hairy spider called Boris living under the radiator in the downstairs loo for weeks … I’ve not seen him 🫢 I think he hides when I go in there with a broom 😉 … OH has put him out in the porch now.

Beer glass and sheet of paper method saves scraping bits of spider off the carpet. ( Make sure glass is empty first - although this might affect your aim) When I see a huge spider, I tell myself I've never seen one running towards me. They tend to run away. Then get my husband to remove it using the above method.
I didn't have the time to get anything to trap him with. Yes, normally a glass jar and a piece of paper/card. But speed was required - which was why I missed with the first slipper. I'm not sure what would have happened if I'd missed with the second. 😳 I'm not sure my wife would have been too happy!!
We had a similar incident with a mouse 21 years ago. Overnight!! Wife ended up sleeping downstairs, because there was a mouse in the bedroom (on the headboard, then all around the room).
Its end came when I trapped it, prevented it from escaping by using the hoover nozzle (on full) and hastening its end with a screwdriver. Nowadays, I would trap them humanely (not that we have any indoors now), but our mouse troubles saw many reaching an early demise.

Followed by watching this enormous spider run across the lounge carpet!!!
Where do these things come from?
Now squashed!! A well aimed slipper did the job.
