Re: Spiders

I had one a week ago run along the floor. Quite big. Sprayed around the area (he disappeared behind my stereo) then I saw him go up the curtain. One whack with a fly sway, sorted!

The spray, fly swat and big box are by my chair. I have sprayed in my bedroom around my bed etc. with a spider repellent., £3 in Morrisons.

Hate the buggers!!!!

Re: Spiders

Didn't know about the spider repellent, Jazzi, might have to invest in some just in case one appears and sets off chain reaction!

Re: Spiders

All you spider haters need to go out and collect a heap of conkers - leave them in corners, on window sills etc., - spiders hate them !

You killed it!, how could you be so cruel Jazzi, the poor chap probably had a large family waiting for daddy to come home with the grub, by killing him you probably wiped out all his dependants, don't come complaining when all the flies start annoying yeh in next weeks hot weather.

I've heard that before ST. I wonder if it actually works though? There are a lot of conkers on the grass down our local park at the mo, so it's worth a try - as long as my dogs don't pinch the conkers cos they're harmful to pooches.

Re: Spiders

It is an oldie country thing - but it does work, Mups. I have a friend who is terrified of spiders and she has two or three conkers on each window sill, a few by her patio doors and has remained spiderless for ages.
