to make a scratching sound as it crawls up the duvet towards your head? I’m now in my sleeping bag on the sofa. I’ll MTFU in the morning.

A large house spider. I could hear one walking across the wall towards me in my bedroom one night, the other side of the room.

Slenderman

If you’re in the UK, then none – MTFU now you big Jessie (and squash it – squash it bad)

Mice.

Get to the choppa!!!

If it’s big enough to make a scratching sound it’s big enough to punch. Punch it to death.

Probably a house spider, they can bite but it isn’t lethal.

Squash it! Never, just get a glass to put over it and slide a bit of card underneath, then toss the noisy bugger outside!
That’ll teach it to put its slippers on indoors in future…
… Oh, and pendant alert, they’re Arachnida not insects. 😀

pendant alert

Oh, the ironing 🙂

Haven’t been back up there yet, will send the kids in first, they seem to know no fear when it comes to bugs.

What if it’s eaten the kids?

You’ll now have the weekends free to ride your bike.. 😉

I’m going to guess at an out of season cockchafer..

I really miss our cockchaffers, the two cold winters seemed to do for them, haven’t seen any since. Clumsy buggers though, you wouldn’t just hear them crawling, you’d hear them knocking over furniture and breaking crockery.

they used to fly in through our open windows on warm evenings when we were kids.. making a noise not dissimilar to this..

We experience this a while back. Turned out that my wife had been storing loo roll tubes for the kids to do arts + crafts with. They were particularly adept at amplifying the pitted patter of tiny spider feet into a noise not dissimilar to spider hooves.

Squash it.

I bite a kids face off!

Sorry talking about insects arachnida not dogs canines

*bravely googles “cockchafer”…..gets surprising results!*

Me too. I thought it was a made up single rack pi55 take 🙂 …..
Faith restored……………. For now
