Spiders

[full back]

There may have been a thread about this some time ago, not sure.
I have never seen so many of the b4stards about the house, now Im not talking Arachnaphobia here, but there is a lot more than normal.
These arent your normal small ones either, these are big big brown fcukers & can run quicker than Ben Johnson on steroids
Is there anything I can do to get rid of then?
Is there likely to be a nest in the house (they are upstairs & downstairs) or are they coming in from outside?

may be an old wifes tale but conkers may do the trick, and i dont mean throw them at the spiders, i think its the smell.

I usually add a wee prayer to St Martin - tag it on to the end of my rosary - that they will go away. It usually works as he had a lot of animals. Alternatively, rub a bit of potato peel on your wall and then bury it in the garden - that works also (usually in good weather).

Cheers deal me in
Although no one gave a solution on that thread, more interested in scrotums & vicks!

Apparently the increase in Spiders is down to the mild winters and damp summers. Perfect conditions for them to live and also increases the number of other insects which increases the food protions for the eight legged ones, hence they are bigger.

Still looking for the solution myself but the scrotum problem has never been better!!

Noticed the same myself over the last months. The size of some of the f*ckers i am having to kill is far bigger than anything i have seen before in this country  .... and if you miss on the first blow then they're gone out of sight before you're ready to pounce again.

Sorry, don't know.

Really...throw them at the cats or pour them out the window on top of them?  I hate cats.

No, leave the bottles in the garden and windows. Don't know why, but bottles of water scare cats off.

I didn´t notice the origional Spiders question on that thread last week.
I am sure Vicks (all in one solution) will work, spread it around the floor are where the feckers do their socialising, Spiders taste with their legs. They will soon skadaddle out there.

If you are not into Vicks (possible previous bad experience) then on Arachnophobia they were spreading Lemon oil, same principle as Vicks.
spread around the floor where the Spiders do their leg action.
Alternativly the wily old husbands excuse for avoiding the final solution to the spider infestation is that Spiders are good because they kill the flies. Well get rid of the feckin flies and the Spiders will die off.

what about slugs are kitchens full of them wen you put the lite on at nite. big horrible black ones as big as your finger what makes them stay a way?

[J70]

Slightly off topic, but has anyone else noticed mosquitoes? Ive seen a few about and I didnt think we got them here in Ireland.

Common misconception. We have a number of species.

So, do I have to cover the floors with Vicks or lemon juice?
The b4stards stroll about in every room, it means I wont be able to walk anywhere in the house!!
