Daddy Long Legs
 

Where have they all come from?!? We've got loads suddenly appeared around our house, keep finding them inside as well - what's going on!

Invasion of the long legs, anyone else suffering?

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

yes - its that time of year again, keep your lights off if the door is open
my sister has this great whacky thing that you swat them with - in fact they only have to barely touch the thing and the poor little insect gets it (a shock)

They're so delicate aren't they! I tried to catch one to put it outside but just ended up with a couple of legs :o

I think it's the sudden warm spell we've had, because I've also had loads of them around over the last few days. Saw a HUGE one clinging to the outside window last night, and I couldn't relax until I'd been round and closed all the windows and checked none of the little buggers were inside! I HATE Daddy-Long-Legs.

Lol, well my boy just went to take his uniform off in his bedroom but has refused to seeing as there's a long legs in there! Had to let him get changed in the lounge :rolleyes:

Re: Daddy Long Legs

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

The worst is when they see the huge spiders and chase them towards me....

One day in our old house I was in the toliet and heard a lot of comotion outside - next thing I knew - big fat hairy spider had got chased under the loo door - by two naughty cats (they were kittens at the time)!!

Andy found me screaming standing on top of the loo !!! :scared:

You can see spiders maybe a problem for me in Oz... :D

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

Ooh yes our cats used to eat spiders when they were whippersnappers - used to sit there with legs sticking out of their mouth :scared:

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

Sweet things hey!!! :rolleyes:

We have been lucky that they haven't ever brought anything horrid back though - worst was they chased a frog round the garden - had to get Andy to rescue it as it was making some weird noises....

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

were inundated with daddy long legs too...i cant stand them either..since i got bitten/stung by one...they are sooo painful, aparently they have one of the most toxic venoms in the world..its just cos they cant do big bites that they cant do people more harm :scared:

weve got a lovely big spider in the conservatory who eats the ones the cats dont get!

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

You are indeed lucky - we've had mice, dead and alive, birds dead and alive and frogs always alive. The worst was a headless pigeon!

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

Headless pigeon??? Do you a lion? :scared:

Re: Daddy Long Legs
 

Lol, he thinks he's a lion. He's a very wild cat, feral really - we got him from a rescue centre, I cannot believe he ever needed rescuing!
