My young bloke used to be able to spot them long before I did.

Just try to start teaching him now, tell him he's naughty if he goes near one, you have to be cruel to be kind

Get onto the agents first thing in the morning.....ask when it was done last....needs doing at least once a year......if it hasnt been done demand they get it done by the end of the week......exagerate a wee bit about the number u have had etc...ya know what I mean lol

We did this and got it sprayed the next day no worries...for the next few days we had a few dozy spiders coming out the woodwork...after that none....they spray outside too....so we had nothing at all Oh apart from the baby snake lol
