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.


But every one has been destroyed, yet they still keep coming. I assume
they come down from above and cannot get back. They certainly can't get
in through the waste pipe, as spiders cannot swim!!

but they can walk on water.


Especially Dolomedes fimbriatus, the so-called Raft Spider. It's the
largest spider in Britain and catches aquatic insects, small frogs and
small fish.

ARRRRRGGGGGG!!!!
