Kate,
I think that the recent weather (warm then wet) has forced the Spiders indoors. I don't think it's a breeding thing, as they still need food and I'm assuming you don't have a fly problem?

Hope you don't have a Dyson or you may see the little bleeders running around the transparent drum

I have been told not to vacuum up any ants into our central vac as they can live in there. They are very hardy. When I first came across them in my bathroom I used to put them outside ..... ....... now its 'die you :curse:, die

I thought there weren't many at the moment wasn't sure if the cold spell had killed a few off.

Oh my, where did you find that Avatar !?

Well we bought a video camera before we moved...

Nice. A girl after my own heart.

well the spiders must have all came to scotland and moved in to my flippin house they run over us when we are watching tv flies are taken up in to our curtians and blinds yuk god help me if my hoover claps outI will have to use my cooker clicker and burn there ass off.lots of refill gas is in orderyou cant even go for a pee but there beedy eyes are watching you

Not sure if you can get this where you are, and it's usually sold in greenhouse supply places - Dr. Doom residual spray. Comes with a little nozzle gizmo, I spray all round the foundations of the house, it kills everything. Next day you'll see dead spiders and whatever else was lurking there. It lasts months.

So are these Canadian Spiders??? Didn't think Canada had such a spider problem???

I know it isn't Canada, but when we moved into our rental in Florida, we noticed a couple of suspicious spiders under the front eaves. I killed one with Raid, it rolled over in a death spasm, and I saw the typical markings of a black widow. Turns out, we had loads of them dotted around the outside of the house, and one brown widow INSIDE!! One black one was especially large, and between the eggs and the actual spiders, the bug guy estimated we had around 700-1000 spiders there. Give me a good ol' fashioned UK house spider anyday. At least those things can't potentially kill you!

We tried the Raid for spiders, but funnily enough, it's the one for ants and roaches that kills them quicker.

Nice... pleased I don't have those at mine. Can you not get that long lasting stuff you put round doors and walls there bit like sealent?

We currently have a pest control contract and they use Termidor. It's the stuff you're referring to. This company are absolutely shite, though. The guy who comes round is about 90 years old, and he's always forgetting to address problem areas. Usually within a couple of days, the webs that he did sweep are back because he missed a spot where a spider was hiding. :curse: I've complained lots but I can't cancel the contract right now, as they want $65 for the privilege of doing that, and we can't afford it right now.

May be better to get intermittent sprays as one offs, once your contracts expired or the old man has, at the worst times of year.
