Creepy crawlies
I know Oz is full of them, spiders, ants, cockroaches etc. Do NZ homes suffer the same?

Re: Creepy crawlies
OMG! Those pics are hideous and I'm Australian! Funny how British ppl are always so obsessed with beasties! My Scottish ex actually had a proper r'ship going on with the huntsman spider on his windowsill when he was in Oz!
Just to clarify: are these monsters from NZ? I'm thinking of moving there, have never been and have always lived on the presumption that NZ didn't have any beasties???? No snakes, spiders, ants (that bite) or cockroaches??? Have I been mislead?

Re: Creepy crawlies
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! Don't mind the stick insects, but those wetas
Haven't seen any of them yet & I don't think I want to. I've just been outside to look at the gravel chips on our driveway, jeez that thing must be huge Rob. I don't think I'll be going in any caves anytime soon either
