WATCH: Huge spider terrifies tough farmers

Arachnaphobes look away now, because this might just be the biggest spider we’ve ever seen.

Captured on film by two Kiwi farmers who are terrified – but hilariously casual about it – the spider is seen inching its way along the side of a house.

“That’s probably the biggest spider I’ve seen in a long time,” says one of the farmers.

“I wouldn’t know what that is,” his mate replies. “I saw one a bit bigger than this one in Aussie, in the toilet. The guy hit it with a hammer and it just shrunk to nothing.”

Armed with a garden rake, the pair attempt to catch it – only to have the spider scuttle to the other side of the house.

"Look at the size of him... I don’t want him here,” says one farmer. “I’ve got the windows open on the other side and I don’t want him inside.”
