is it only me, or is everyone in engalnd at least being invaded with,nasty big, black spiders.
-
for weeks now, at random, ive fund in most rooms, and the landings and hallway, ruddy spiders.
-
im watching tv, and see one on the far wall, so i get it in a plastic pint glass and into the garden. next night, one in the kitchen, night after in the bedroom.
-
but after one on the sofa last night, that made me jump up, not doing my back much good, im going to get something today, like raid, and spray the ruddy house.
-
i know they arnt dangerous, but i dont want to keep seeing them all over the house, they have to go.

You must have a dry house, and no other creepy crawlies Jim. We have had more than usual this year, and bigger too, and boy can they run

Hi Jimdragon

With me it's daddy long legs, when I lived in Ashington we used to get quite a few money spiders.

I don't know how to get rid of either spiders or daddy long legs. The funny things is rarely every see any flies so I don't know what they are feed on.

Hope you can get rid of the spiders, it's strange that they are not in your garden.

Strangely, I used to be terrified of spider s, but having two children I thought I had better get a grip, as I didn't want to pass the fear on to them. Now I can tolerate them, so long as I don't have bare feet at the time rofl So long as they are indigenous and not an intruder from elsewhere. I always open my bananas over the sink with the plug in!!!

Incidentally they will eat flies and all sorts of tiny inhabitants you probably don't even know are there biggrin

I wouldn't touch a spray. They are almost bound to be chemical based and no good to any of us either.

hi websailor
-
there is a power, not for me, i saw it when i checked out, wilkinsons, only cost about a pound i think.
-
im not scared of them as such, its when you are doing something, and one runs across the line of sight, and if i try to catch one to get out and miss it, im always watching for it to appear as i dont know where it is,
-
i also tend to get silverfish in the kitchen near the freezer, and a odd one in the loo. dragon jim xx

the spray is indeed poisonous, that's the very idea

but as it is not a gas but something that sticks to the windowsill or wherever you spray it i believe it will not effect me more than diesel fumes and what else i am forced to inhale during the day

since we can't avoid frost we should be glad for it's upsides. it kills a lot of bugs, vira, bacteria and such

but you don't have to freeze in your house. just hang your bed clothes outside for a few hours when there is a good frost. it should w*rk wonders for your health ok

Last night I saw a spider and it did not scare me but I did try and get it to go outside as there are more flies to eat and it's a silly place to be in my home as there are no flies for the spider to eat. If of course I get bitten by a radioactive spider , I might get superhuman powers and call myself spider diva which means I will have to wear spandex costumes and work for Marvel comics.

I have heard that if you put conkers on your windowsill it will stop spider coming in but I don't know if they have to be the windowsill outside your house or the inside window.
