OH always used to say they do you no harm, they can't bite you and then....................watching a nature programme
and they said that certain species of british spiders can bite. I knew that and they are always the ones that come after me.

i always have a cockroach spray at hand
it kills spiders very fast

Told yuh!!!!!!!!

One year when we were away on holiday ,the burglar alarm went off.It was discovered a nest of spiders had hatched behind one of the sensors lol

Don't know Jane in saying that have remembered that this tip also came from security engineers who inserted them in room sensors to deter small spiders weaving webs over sensors! I just have one in a corner of each room and that has worked - OH in charge of hoovering now did forget and sucked a couple up but he knows now to watch out!

I collected some conkers earlier and now have the corners covered in the lounge and my bedroom.Fingers crossed it works.
Does it matter if the conkers are on the floor ,or higher up?

Just falling now Sandie.

Must tell my dau, she's petrified of even the smallest spider.
Trouble is there are no Horse chestnut trees where we live.
I know where they are where I lived as a child, about 5 miles away so she'll probably want to go there to collect some, if they haven't already been picked.lol

there is no point me getting cnkers,
littleman and grandad will only nick them to string them lol

soon be time for the spiders to hide for winter so we will all be safe lol x

i must add
it did look like a very hard spider hanging from the tree
it had a little leather jacket on with eight arm holes

and a flick knife lol

I now have a large collection of conkers, enough for the whole family. It must have been ideal growing weather, most of them would have been real treasures in my conker playing days.

There have obviously been hundreds already collected by youngsters, but the ground was covered in them, so I didn't feel I was depriving any conker players.

Edit: I did end up having a chat about family history with a passing chap and a lady tending her husband's grave. Also chatted to the gardener tending the CWG area, which was looking immaculate. Lovely way to spend a bright autumn afternoon.

it must of
maybe its sense of smell was hiding

It must have had a cold Joy and lost its sense of smell. All I know is since the conkers came in the spiders have gone out and I am happy.

OH DEAR OH DEARIE ME
WE HAVE A PROBLEM
took the butler conker hunting
thought i would get a few million to ward off the spiders
and guess what was dangling from the conker tree

happy as Larry it was

I dont mind spiders. I just leave them and help them out the bath if they are stuck.
Now, it it was a mouse, I'd be off like a shot lol

We had a big lad crawling across the bottom of the empty bath when I went up to bed the other night. I mean tarantulla propostions. I had visions of waking up in the night and it crawling across me face. I let the OH deal with it. The thought of it as I type is giving me palpitations
Julia in Derbyshire
