Tl;Dr: the title.

I can't take it anymore. I'm becoming a nervous reck. If you like spiders and you aren't bothered by spiders, fantastic, because I am. I wasn't bothered about them until I started to find them in my home absolutely everywhere. Over the last 2 years it's just got worse and worse. Just now I had the fattest bodied biggest "household" spider I've ever witnessed crawl over the back of my hand. It was however interesting to see that I shouted "Jesus!" when I was that kind of startled instead of swearing like I thought I would.

Please. I don't care about the price I don't really care what I have to do but I need to find a way to get rid of all these spiders. I can't move atm but I'm literally trying to, cause of this. This and the fact that the building is so poorly put together that quite a lot of the outside world finds its way in. They are in my shower, they are in my bedroom, they are in in my front room. The only place they never seem to be is in my kitchen. The one that crawled over my hand was when I was lying in my bed. So now that's going to be fun trying to get to sleep tonight.

I'm a big black guy in my mid-30s. I am completely in control of my faculties and I understand the complete lack of logic here. I have literally had a blade held to my throat in my own kitchen that bothered me less than that spider walking over my hand just now. I didn't have a phobia but I can feel it getting to that point.

Please tell me it's a miracle cure, something I can just plug or spray. I will happily choke on chemicals in the air, if I don't have to deal with any more spiders.
