My mate tells me that having parsley around gets rid of flys. When the flys are gone, the spiders should feck off.

My long suffering wife tells me that spiders in the house is a sign of a clean home. I remind her that it don't look too clean with all the spider's webs hanging everywhere....

I'm partial to eradicating wasps. I will kill them as soon as they emerge in Feb/March.... but my other mate tells me not to kill them until mid/late summer. Late summer is when they turn nasty thru getting pished on fermenting fruit. Killing them too early can result in a local eco imbalance as they cut down the number of other insect larvae in spring early summer.

So, the bastards have got you either way. Less wasps = more flies = more spiders. More wasps = less flies = less spiders.

But if any uninvited insect/arachnid moves in my house it gets a twatting or a gassing.
