Spiders!

Anyone else in Sheffield being plaqued by house spiders ? Not just the little ones, huge big things which run like Linford Christie..

 

Someone told me if you kill one, you get loads more appearing for the funeral?

 

Its probably true As we're getting hundreds of them..

spiders hate the smell of cloves. if you get some clove oil from the chemist and add a few drops to some water and spray it everywhere they hate it

iv just come back from holiday and the house is full of the big buggers iv got to get spraying!

Yes, we had one during the week then another 3 yesterday. Not half as bad as what we see back in Australia but still too big for me.

 

Any ideas why the onset of them??

 

Cheers,

I put it down to the warmer than, dryer than normal summer. Plus an abundance of food - caused by the aforementioned weather conditions..

Iv'e been troubled by them for 27 yrs and I hate the horrible things, so it's not the warm weather that is bringing mine, they must like living in this area!!!

Yes I have lots of them too. They are very fast at spinning webs too. No sooner have I cleared one there is another. A couple of weeks ago my son woke in the night to find one crawling across his face. Horror of horrors.
