Anyone Noticing More Spiders
Ask a Question
We seem to have a lot of large spiders around at the moment. Anyone got the same and how is best to get rid or deter. I don’t mind a small one making a little web to catch the flies. But the big ones just come out night and run across the floor.
I have fairly bad arachnophobia and I have always every year dreaded late summer/early autumn. But last year I bought a spider catcher which works wonders. I used the vacuum cleaner before, but the spider catcher is a lot less hassle and I don't have the confidence to use a glass and piece of card. Such a life saver and really easy to use. I highly recommend it to all my fellow arachnophobes. Great for those big buggers.
Folklore says that putting conkers in your house gives off an odour that spiders don't like so they stay away.
Yes there are loads. I dont mind them, but having seen my first false widow indoors, I'm not welcoming anymore in
Has anyone tried one of those plug in things that are meant to give off a sound to deter such things. Do they actually work?
I have one of them plugs in's after replacing my last one and so far I've not seen one spider and I've had the plug in for about 10-12 months
Yes!! I have a large backyard so get all sorts flying or crawling into my house. Its like a jungle at the minute. This is the first year me and my partner have started on it
god me too! Think all the rain etc encourages them and im a badly managed arachnophobic as is may have to get a spider catcher
I haven't seen any spiders yet, but I don't really have an issue with them. I'd rather keep clothes moths out.
