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!!

Karma will get your nasty arse in the end. Good job too.

Apparently they come indoors looking for a mate I read in the paper
yesterday.

Yes. I once saw two spiders in my bath and left them overnight. I saw
them mating (they do it behind the head) and by the morning the female had
sucked the life out of the male.

We use a spider vacuum with great success no matter what size of
critter and the kids love catching them too. Then just put them
outside and wait for them to come in through the waste pipe again lol
Thank goodness the bath seems to trap the biggest critters. You can
almost see on their faces the indignity of it all as they are placed
outside again after so much effort.

after the bath experience I use the fluffy towel technique to remove all
spiders in the bath and don't leave them overnight.
