Should I mention that as soon as the hoover is turned off, they can crawl back out the hose of hoover ?

It is always a good idea to Hoover up a few flies too, they'll have no need to come back out then!

You guys have it all wrong! It's a very simple process if you see a spider in the home. Just take a small amount of kitchen roll, you don't need much, then very, very carefully burn the house down. :pac:

You know those nasty yellow ear plugs that seem to be made of cork and hurt your ears after five minutes that you have to wear in some workplaces? Always have your next pair to hand. Take them out of the cardboard packaging and leave them in your arse pocket. They soften up ready for use in human ears after a day. When you use these ones, open another pack and pop them into your arse pocket for the next day.

Keep the levels of flies, moths etc down by keeping a squad of friendly spiders around the house.

When you rest, you are a king surveying your estate. Look at the woodland, the peacocks on the lawn. Be the king of your own calm kingdom.

When you're feeling under pressure, do something different. Roll up your sleeves, or eat an orange.

Be on the look out for things that make you laugh. If you see nothing worth laughing at, pretend you see it, then laugh.

Make a friend from every profession. Never pay for a plumber, electrition, prostitute etc again.

A good place to store some spare cotton wool is in ones ear, its always handy to have, just don't push it too far in or it may become waxy

Big Nasty

After using a tinned product put the lid in the empty tin and squash the neck of the tin closed. That way whoever is taking out the rubbish is less likely to get the leg cut off them by a serrated tin lid.

Not the ones with massive outstretched legs, mind.

In your house? I've only ever seen them under rocks or at the beach.


Are you sure you're not thinking of woodlice?

No, they're well known for residing in damp places, I just never knew the name of them.

Silverfish, very rare but I have seen them in houses and work.

Seemingly get eaten by Spiders and Earwigs. But maybe the cure is worse than the problem here.
