Sorry if this is the wrong subforum but it seems more fitting than others.

 

I found a spider nest in my bedroom a couple of nights ago after I was tracing a bunch of tiny "ants" I found on my bedside table. I removed the nest and the baby spiders I found and went to bed.

 

Next day I found what I assume is the mother spider (picture below) and want to know if I need to get some exterminators in or if the spiders are harmless to humans as there are probably more babies crawling around. The closest match I was able to find online was a spider from USA, so it's unlikely to be that. My friend suggested it could be a "false widow" but I wasn't able to find information about those spiders in Thailand.

 

Would anyone be able to have a look at the picture below and help me identify it? It's a bit smaller than a 1 thb coin and mostly black. Found in my 10th floor condo in Bangkok. Thank you!

Broken link for me.

A reverse image search on that photo leads to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theridiidae

 

But you'll have to dig around the images to see if one of these is the same of yours. Some photos look similar, but some quite different.

Is this better?

I think she's a Huntsman https://www.thethailandlife.com/spiders-thailand no danger to you.

 

Spiders are welcome in our home, they eat things that are not and generally don't make a mess.

You reckon? I thought those were supposed to be the size of your hand -- this one was more the size of my thumbnail.

Baby? We get small ones in the basin, maybe an inch across.

 

Nah, you're probably right, but there aren't a lot of dangerous spiders here.
