Anyone else getting a lot of BBBIIIIGGGGG house spiders now that the weather's cooling off? We've had more in last couple of weeks than I've seen in last 3 years!

This kind which have also been appearing in large numbers in Ireland...

The cats are having great fun, although they don't kill or eat them, just toy with them until they get out of reach. Or my foot lands on them (the spiders that is, not the moggies).

<< Delicious!!!! I had a few of them at a memorable Edinburgh meet!!!! >>

Ahhh, the good ol' days!! I remember the fly, but don't remember the spiders.... but then, memories of most of the best Edinburgh meets have been a bit hazy!!!!

I was just saying yesterday that there have been lots of spiders in the flat recently....but nothing like that (phew!)

I thought it was on average a person will eat 7 spiders during their sleep in their life

Had a few spiders but had quite a lot of "Jenny-long-legs" (surely thats not the correct name for them!!!)

Cat has fun with them for a while until she gets bored and leaves them half-dead on the floor

- - - - - - And Wasps. Had 12 in the house on sunday - not very good if its a nice day and you want to open the window - as have to watch that the cats and dog don't go after them and get stung face-icon-small-sad.gif (they just get slatted or sprayed with hairspray, the spiders get chucked out the window, ally won't let me kill them - we have a resident spider on the conservatory window (outside not in)

we've named it ........ shug! face-icon-small-wink.gif

Spiders are great little critters. They eat flies and other bug-type things that walk on dog-poo and pass on nasties. Never kill a spider. They may look scary, but they're the good guys!
