We have a few conkers near the windows and doors and don't get many in at all. The conkers do need replacing after a while as they lose the aroma deterrent after a while.

In my experience they only work if your aim is good :D

Yup, I AM a b@57@rd!
 
Spiders don't really bother me an up to a couple of years ago I picked most of them up and deposited them out of the nearest window or door however I'm a little more selective about the ones I pick up now.....

I was at a wedding an a few women were being a little hysterical at a moderately sized spider in the lobby so I dutifully picked it up. Whilst walking to the neared door I was aware of a slight stinging sensation in one of my fingers so I uncupped mu hands and the little blighter was hanging off one of my fingers. It was at that point I decided to ditch the humane approach, flicked it to the ground and stamped on it :lol:

My Dad & brother-in-law just laughed at me and told me I must have imagined it........

Thankfully there were no lasting effects although I read a story in our local paper about a guy getting bitten by a spider (description matched the one that bit me) and he had all kinds of health problems as it left him with some kind of bacterial infection :|

So now if it looks like it's capable of attaching itself to me I use the tried and tested glass & paper/card method of disposal :lol:

They don't really bother me but the missus has a mild panic attack if swift action isn't taken :lol:

However...... if we ever had a snake problem...... that's a different story :eek::help:
 
Got to admit I can't stand spiders in the house. The safest option for me is usually the hoover with the long hose attachment.

I once woke up in the middle of the night with one dangling directly above my face. I hate to think what might had happened if I had'nt woken up, probably would'nt be here now to tell the tale.

Can't bear seeing pictures of them or even watching them on the TV.

You would'nt like this waterpark I went to in Spain. When you go in they have a photo booth type setup and they immediately force you into it and chuck a python over around your neck.

On the plus side it happens so quickly you don't even have time to realise it's a snake. They don't bother me but my mate who was with with is terrified, so good that he did'nt notice really.

I put them in the spare room. Though I suspect they go out foraging at night.
Though I see few spiders and even fewer other bugs these days.
 
Well, lets hope they eat them, and don't deposit them at (or on) your feet as gifts. :thumbs:
