The emergence of the world’s most poisonous spider has a
family to quit their home due to the invasion of the spiders which they could
not withstand.
The family of four (Ashley Gamble, his wife Sophia Newcombe
along with their two daughters decided to leave their home after many of the
creepie-crawlies surge out of a shell that was wedged to a bit of fruits which
spilled on the soil onto the kitchen floor as they unloaded their shopping.
These Brazilian itinerant spiders are known to have a bite
kill its victim within two hours and are regarded as the most poisonous on
earth.
Its venom can likewise bring about an erection enduring up
to FOUR HOURS in casualties.
According to the 28-year-old Forklift truck driver the scene
resembled “something out of a horror movie” – and is declining to come back to the house
until Asda pays for it to be disinfected.
Asda rendered an apology saying the incident was to a great
degree uncommon.
Be that as it may, Ashley, who is as of now staying with his
folks alongside Sophia and their youngsters, raged: “They have just fobbed me
off.
“When I first went in to complain my house was full of
spiders they offered me a refund for the bananas, which only added insult to
injury.
“Then a worker said, ‘Oh it’s ok – they’ll all die soon
anyway’, which didn’t really help.
“It’ll cost hundreds of pounds to have the house fumigated
and I just don’t have the money.
“There is no way we’re going back until the house is
completely cleared.
“I just can’t risk it with the children.”
Sophia, 26, was unloading the family's shopping when she saw
the cocoon on the banana and tossed it on the floor in frenzy.
Ashley lifted it up – and watched in stun as little creepy
crawlies started tumbling out.
He said: “The nest was around the size of a 20p piece, and
they were just falling out of it onto the floor.
“I grabbed the hoover and tried to suck up as many as I
could, but they were running off everywhere.
“My partner was absolutely petrified. I gathered my family
up straight away and we went next door.
“Then I called a pest control company, but they told me to
contact Asda, who would sort out funding for the house to be fumigated.”
Ashley, who has little girls Isla Rose, two, and three-week
old Amelia Lily, addressed his nearby store and was advised to get the banana
wrapped in a plastic sack.
He included: “They just said it could take days to sort, and
an investigation would have to be carried out.
“I got the impression they thought I was trying it on.
“But the four of us are sleeping in one room at my parents’
house.
“It needs sorting out as soon as possible.
“The thought of going back there is scary – these spiders
can cause serious problems for adults, so imagine what a bite could do to a
three-week-old baby.
“Sophia wants to move out permanently.
“Asda has infested my home with spiders because they haven’t
checked their products properly, and now they aren’t willing to help out.
“It’s disgusting.”
A representative for Asda stated that : “We are in contact
with Mr Gamble and would like to reassure all our customers that these types of
incidents are extremely rare.
“All our bananas are washed and sprayed before they are
transported to the UK and every single piece of fruit is manually checked for
quality and stowaways.
“We sell one billion bananas every year and the chance of
finding a spider is incredibly low, but very occasionally one hangs around to
give us a fright.
“We are sorry for any upset this has caused and are keeping
Mr Gamble updated throughout our investigation.”
