Re: It's That Time of Year Again! Arachnids!
This time of year spiders are looking for a mate, so they come indoors where it’s warmer, they’ll soon disappear as spider mating season only lasts about two weeks, conkers, or any other spider deterrents, are just myths I’m afraid..

Itd not a good look...spider web sleeves!
I love webs in the garden in the dew of the mornings, but house spiders NO!
I don't know how I managed to live in S. Africa for four and a half years!
Minds you I only saw a few big ones there, I don't mind snakes or anything else but big Spiders and scorpions UGH!

Just in case any bugger has got passed the blockade!
I had a close call one night. Imagine .. I'm asleep and rouse because something bothersome is tickling my face. I sleepily swatted at it , it felt soft and squashy. Tickling stopped. Job done. Went back to sleep.Next morning I found a dead spider with a big fat glob of a hairy body about the size of a 10 pence piece lying dead on the floor.
Thank goodness I wasn't asleep with my mouth open
Imagine waking with all those legs stuck in my teeth.
