Get yourself some friendly mice. They love munching on spiders.

Yeah, I came across the first spider of the season the other day. He was a big fella, but curiously he was dead.

As for "Do they come in because it's cold?" One would think so, but I remember reading that that's not the case. They are already inside your house, in nooks and crannies, and they just happen to make an appearance at this time of year....to get a bit of sexy time. And those big fellas who scurry across the floor are almost always male, as the female is somewhere in a web.

I don't know though. Any time I see a house spider, it's when it's dark and the windows or doors have been open.

The moral of the story is....Kill 'em all.

I once heard that put a bowl of conkers, which have fallen the horse chestnut tree inside your doors and windows and it will keep spiders out...something to do with the smell. I tried it last year and I didn't see a huge amount of spiders tbh. I'm off conker picking tonight

Give me a spider over a wasp any day.

And so it begins
