This year our house has been inundated with large spiders. Thank
goodness neither myself of my wife a frightened by them. Almost every
morning there are one, and sometimes 2, in the bath. Where are they all
coming from? It is not the same one as they are flushed away each
morning.

They climb back up the waste pipe.

So how do they get past the trap?


They don't go past the trap when they are flushed, so once the tap is
turned off, they simply climb out of the waste and wait in the bath for
24 hours for it to happen again, this is because they can't get out of
the bath due to the sides being too smooth.

If the OP wishes to get rid of them, simply scoop up on a piece of paper
and lob em out of the bathroom window, it only needs to be done once
instead of bathing them every day.

The horrid scary ones that I've flushed down the plug hole never appear in
the bath again.
Ugggg!

So what do you think has happened to them? Have you killed them because
they look scary?
I have struggled with fear of spiders all my life but it's not their fault,
it's mine.
Try the fluffy towel approach. They don't deserve to die because I have an
unreasonable fear of them.
And it is unreasonable. I know that they cannot harm me but it makes no
difference about their scariness. The bigger they are, the worst the fear
gets.
But it's not their fault, so I try not to harm them.
