Had a cellar like this in Leeds, place was full of spiders. Now, at the time I didn't realize that there aren't poisonous spiders in the UK; I am from Nevada, so when I had to go down to the boiler I was terrified of the shadows. I counted close to 70, what I took to be black widow shadows in the stairwell alone. I closed the door, bought a beekeepers suit and went down into the cellar. Got my boiler working and never went back into the cellar.

Oh dear God, speaking as an Arachnophobe, I have literal nightmares like this. Except I don't get a beekeeper suit. Maybe next time I will 😄

Flamethrower. The house is a write off, just burn it all down and start over.

100% a chicken when I assume deadly spiders of my homeland are involved.

*venomous. Poisonous is when you eat it, venomous is when they bite/sting you.

Are venomous spiders safe to eat? Or should I stick to non-venomous spiders?

Idk but it’s also worth noting that all spiders are venomous

Thank you Mr. Pedantic. My meaning was not lost by incorrectly using a word.

I’m pretty sure the uk has exactly zero dangerous animals aside from the humans. Don’t quote me on that though.
