It Must Be Autumn Even Though It's Not September....

I’ve been on high alert as we always start seeing them in August and I’ve counted 5 so far in the last couple of weeks. I hate it and can’t relax until it stops in November. They terrify me.

Spiders and spider's webs in the house seem to be a year round problem in our house.

Same here.

The house martins are still nesting, so in my mind it’s not Autumn yet. When they leave is the beginning for me.

Spider season! David Attenborough and Chris Packham can go on about how fascinating spiders are until the cows come home but if I see one, it's curtains. No faffing around with a glass and a piece of cardboard and then ushering them outside. They are called house spiders for a reason so they will be back. Time to get the peppermint spray out and keep a spare slipper for whacking.

Sorry arachnophobes but this one appeared in my living room yesterday, about the size of a teacup. We put it outside but I expect it will be back.

totally agree, I am terrified of spiders, it's either them or me ,and it's my house, they are not welcome..
