Ive been in Melbourne 6 years & never seen one yet.
Must be all that building work going on out West thats stirring them up.

Either that or they prefer Londoners to Scots.

Well I've just sprayed it, good job I didn't try to whack because when I sprayed another one dropped down, yep two of the buggers :scared:

And similar webs all around the door, just feet from where we'll be sleeping :scared:

They must of been there the whole time we've been here i've seen the webs, it's only because, we turned the coach light on that's outside the house for the first time, it's like a spiders playground out there.

There's been nothing here, so loads of shit still. I nearly ran over four rabbits on the way to Coles.

Every itch and I was convinced they were in the car with me.
