Anyone had their houses invaded by these horrific creatures lately. Huge ones aswell. Anyone know how to keep them out of the house as the kids won't go to sleep hence the 2:10am post. |  | | |  |

My wife has conkers in a glass vase type thing, like a decorative piece but she swears it's good at keeping spiders away .Can't say I've noticed a difference myself, we get loads. |
I’ve definitely noticed a difference. | | | |

See what you mean.
This one here looks particularly worried.

Looks to be petrified in fear to me. |  | | |

Yeah, I have had a bite or two that has resulted in quite a bit of inflammation although nothing as extreme as needing antibiotics. But, like wasps, reflect on what would happen if they were not around. Without wasps aphids would run riot and crop harvest would plummet, without spiders flies and many other insects would be more numerous and diseases would strike us down even more than at present.
So what to do? I have found that thorough spring cleaning, as in moving all the furniture and picking in to every corner of window and door frames, has left the house pretty much spider free. Apologies if you have done this already, but if not then you have a great excuse for setting the kids to work... |
I tend to leave them be indoors.
They don't bother me as a rule and I live in hope that one might actually catch a fly one day. Although those I seem to have are rubbish at their jobs and generally eventually starve to death.
There was one in my car this one time that had me concerned. Each time I went near it the thing leapt; big leaps. Spiders aren't supposed to jump at you, they're supposed to run on surfaces and hide.
I never did find it again and lived in relative fear of my car for a while. |  |

I dunno about that.
I think he's just maybe been in lockdown for too long.

Kevin Beattie swore by this method of spider avoidance. He once mentioned it on Life's a Pitch and got home to find someone had hung a bag of conkers on his front door for him. |
Haha! I now know what I’ll be leaving in memorandum at his statue when I’m next in town after it’s been erected. | | | |

I'm sure he would have appreciated it. | | | |

I don’t mind them if they are performing sufficient Fly patrol duties. |  |

My mum swears by a spray that keeps them away. Dunno what it's called but I'm sure you can google it. |
Nothing came up on Google so I am going to have to look on the dark web now... |  |
