A mother who found eggs belonging to one of the world’s most venomous spiders hidden in her Tesco bananas had to have her vacuum incinerated after she tried to clean them up. Pest control experts hired by the supermarket told Abby Woodgate, 30, anything that had been in contact with the bunch and its deadly cargo would have to be burned. At first she had thought the bananas were mouldy when she noticed a white lump after they were delivered to her home. But when she poked the mysterious growth with a toothpick, a cocoon opened, revealing dozens of tropical eggs. She immediately threw the fruit in the bin, but a few eggs dropped on her kitchen floor, which she vacuumed clean. When she called Tesco's store in Colchester, Essex, staff said they would come round to collect the bananas. Later she received another call saying pest controllers would come round instead. Mrs Woodgate said: "The pest controllers asked where the eggs were and I told them the bin and they said 'right, we'll take that'. "

All they could tell me is they thought they were tropical spider eggs." The mother-of-one said: "I couldn't believe it when the little cocoon opened. I thought it was just some mould and I was trying to get it off so I could use the rest of the bunch. "Even when I saw what was in it - it looked just like frog spawn - I still didn't think the worst. But then it dawned on me and I jumped and threw them in the bin."

In November last year, a Tesco store in Kent was forced to close for several hours after a Brazilian wandering spider was found under a box of bananas. That same month, a family was forced to abandon their home after a woman noticed white spots on the banana she was eating and then realised spiders had started hatching out onto her kitchen table and running across the room. In 2005, a chef bitten by the Brazilian wandering spider in his pub kitchen was saved after experts were able to identify the creature from a picture on his mobile phone and were able to suggest an antidote. Tesco have offered to replace Mrs Woodgate’s bin and the vacuum cleaner, which was incinerated. A spokesman said: “We set ourselves high standards for the food we sell and were concerned to hear of this incident.
