#1
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?

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)

I HATE Daddy-Long-Legs.

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....

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!
