spiders!

[gina32]

last summer i was plagued with spiders coming indoors, then as the autumn came they seemed to go but now ive started to see them again one or two slowly getting in, anyone else got any yet?

Yes gina I have loads of the blighters especially when it's warm.I have always thought it was because I have lots of climbing plants growing up the outside walls but I could be wrong. I had to clean away four spiders nests recently they look like small cocoons and left pink marks on the doorframe.It has been very cold and wet here but as soon as it gets warmer they will be back again.This year I'm going to buy a spider catcher as Mr M squashes them.

There are spiders in your house all the time G, just like everyone else's, you just don't see them all the time. They won't do any harm unless you are an insect, which of course they feed on, helping to keep your house free of them!

i know they are in the house and i dont mind the odd one or two but its just that ive never seen so many, i didnt used to have this amount where i lived before but i now live next to a field so thats probably why i have so many

this makes no sense, at my house they come indoors in the winter to avoid the cold and because theres no flies about outside and then they go outside when its warmer and plenty of food for them to catch.

Hope you don't get true field spiders in Gina! x

I haven't had any since I put conkers on the windowsills. We usually have gigantic ones, but not a sausage since the conkers.

Painting chestnut oil around all entrance points is also said to deter them.
