"Should we burn the house down?"

A mother in Australia found in her daughter's room what can only be described as too many spiders. https://t.co/i7Rrb8xcMg pic.twitter.com/sUka3I5exf

ABC News (@ABC) January 29, 2021

Claudia Domrose made the creepy discovery in her daughters room in Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday. She shared the footage with her friend Peta Rogers, who sent the video viral after posting it on Twitter, local media reported.

Are you moving out now? Shall we burn the house down? Domrose joked with her daughter in the clip thats now been seen millions of times on social media.

The spiders are believed to be baby Huntsman.

According to the Australian Museum , the arachnids eat insects, other invertebrates and are famed as being the hairy so-called tarantulas on house walls that terrify people by scuttling out from behind curtains.

Their look is worse than their bite, per the museum, which recommends a cold pack to relieve pain and to seek medical attention if symptoms persist.

Robert Raven , an arachnologist at the Queensland Museum, said the infestation in the viral video was likely caused by rain following a heat wave.

Spiders go looking for milder environments in terms of heat and humidity, Raven told Australias ABC News . So inside a house its usually good. Theres usually some water around and theyll gravitate to that.
