I've had 6 'big ones' so far this season, all in the last 2 weeks. Surely that's over my quota. They make my life a misery at the moment as they terrify me.
I've heard about this little venomous ones, fake widows or something? Seems to be a lot of conflicting information on how venomous they are though.
Got bitten by something a week ago and ended up with cellulitis, no idea what bit me though, just woke up with an itchy bump and then it all went downhill from there.
I'm not sure that those plug-in things work. Spiders don't bother me - I'll happily pick them up and chuck them out of the window - but I get hundreds of insects in my porch. My plug-in thing is supposed to send them away, but it doesn't.
