spiders in northern beaches,sydney
hi there,
i just wanted a bit of help about spiders in the northern beaches of sydney. i live in allambie heights and this morning woke up to find a massive spider on my bedroom wall. we got a photo of it and spoke to a couple of neighbours as we were ---- scared. they said it was only a tarantula (huntsman) and not to worry. apparantly they r common in the area. does anyone know anything about this and what we can possibly do to keep them away. 1 neighbour said they tend to come in for shelter when its raining heavy and it chucked it down in the middle of the night.
i dont think i will get much sleep 2nite as i hate big, hairy spiders
cheers for any thoughts/ideas etc

Lots of previous threads on this and other spiders - some say that they let them roam free in the house as they eat everything else
Could you go to sleep knowing that Harry the Huntsman was sat in the corner winking at you??
They really shift mind you, so you have to catch it before you can hit it.
Good luck
Jim
