Is it me or are there a load of spiders and daddy long legs about? We usually see a lot in autumn but not early summer.. I've caught 3 huge spiders tonight crawling over the sofa and floor don't normally see these til august. Also load of daddy long legs too yuckk!

We have seen lots of spiders or not so any more as they have gone up my hoover! sorry cant splat them(i know the hoover is prob not much better) if i put outside they will just come back in, cant leave them as have fear they will crawl on me when im asleep!and thats my worst fear.
Not seen any daddy long legs yet.

I stood talking to a spier in my sink, I asked why did it not go away otherwise I would flush it down the plug hole!! silly spiders!!!

[RUSTYME]

not noticed any more spiders than normal , but they don't worry me so maybe thats why ? I have noticed loads of daddy long legs though ....I don't know why , but I hate the things . So I catch the buggers and feed them to the spiders that have their webs around the place... The spiders even know when I am about to feed them now !!! they come out ready ..
 Daddy long legs come out about this time of year and again in the autumn .

Cheers

To my mind Daddy long Legs is not the problem its former life as a leather jacket in your veg plot is though bluudi things.Spiders I cannot understand this Arachnophobia bit in the UK we haven't any that will harm you.Look in autumn at some of the beautiful webs they make It's watching to many horror films

[Helencus]

I know it's irrational but I hate them the thought of a spider crawling on me makes my flesh creep.. And daddy ugh their wings buzz and the dive bomb you.. Mind I will get rid of them myself my daughter just runs screaming from the room. No sense to it is there such tiny little beasts that can do no harm to us.

we had a massive house spider the other week and i mean massive!! Jess was down having her morning cup of tea and watching C-Beebies and suddenly i heard her breaking her heart so rushed in and finally got her to tell me what was wrong and she pointed at 'him' so we called him Burt and everyday she would run down and say 'hello Burt'.
Last night disaster we havent seen Burt for a couple of days, so i told her that he was off catching flies and had gone to live with nanny & grampy for a quiter life in the villages!! Quick whats tonights excuse 

[sheila]

not many spiders but millions of flies.

[HappyHippy]

I've not noticed many spiders either - plenty of flies though 
And bumble bees  - HUGE bumble bees  About 2 inches long and as fat as my thumb, I've had to rescue 3 from the house just in the last 2 days. I even wondered if they were 'queens' but I don't know enough about them to be sure, anyone else got them ?

[plumseverywhere]

winslow porker I think you'll have to tell Jess that Burt has done his bit in curing her spider fear so has now gone to help another little girl 
scarlett our 3 year old can't even look at a money spider without screaming the house down - don't know where she gets THAT from 

we've had a few big hairy ones here with huge legs - the cat eats them mainly.

[WinslowPorker]

Ok i will ask Jess tonight is Burt can come and live with you!! give anything like that a silly name it works wonders, we have had Sid the bee and all sorts! even the cat is called Eric! not that she was afraid we just wanted a silly name

[valr]

No daddy long legs here yet but they will come! We always have lots - and am constantly unearthing them as leatherjackets. I think there is something you can spray on your grass to kill them but cant remember what!
I read that if you water the grass then cover it in black polythene overnight they come to the surface - so you could collect them or better still set the chickens on the wee buggers!

Hey up vair you teach me a new swear word then revert back to one of my old ones Google the Bug Factory.That works well Nemo's I mean Old country cure was Nitrate of soda but it kills the good bugs as well

[Hardfeather]

I like bunny rabbits, I like frogs
I like pussy cats and I like dogs
Talking to a spider is like falling off a log
Being friendly to the animals is easy
But a
Spider in the bath
Spider in the bath
Creepy crawly creepy crawlie spider in the bath
I know he's only there because he wants to have a laugh
I know I flushed him down the drain, but now he's climbing up the chain...
