Advice is dont sit still too long as they might just wrap you in several layers of brown paper and tape.... if theyre anything like the lot we had come to us.... talk about efficient!!
It was a great day but emotional for me as I watched the lorry drive away down the road.... me thinking.... omg... next time I see that lot I'll be in Auckland!! Had to hide a tear from my OH.

Also good for mozzies, spiders etc...

White tail spiders, my oldest daughter has been bitten by one, it stung for a while and left a nasty bump for a few days but the most harm it did was completely freak her out :scared:
