Red Backs
A friend has just found a red back in his garden in Springs - if he contacts the Municipality, does anyone know if they come out to spray the garden?

They are in Dubai thanks to the people who built Desert Springs compound..the little bastards moved from Australia in the prefab material brought over for construction.
If you get bitten....go straight to the doctor or hospital for anti-venom- don't move the affected part if at all possible. They can make you really, really ill. |

how would you leave your arm in the house to get to the hospital? :rofl:
Was being serious ....move it as little as possible ...if you move, the pain gets even worse, and the poison travels quicker. These are seriously bad little bastards. |

We've got a live one here in the office if you want to adopt it. It's safely locked away in a plastic jar.
