I've found two redbacks at the house, one outside and one inside, in the last couple of weeks. Both of them are deid now though.

I've found a few redback egg sacs in the last couple of months - perfectly round, white things that fit between paving slabs. I've sprayed one in particular 3 times but it never discoloured or lost shape, always stayed perfectly round and white once the spray had evaporated. I poked it with a stick the other day while hoping that millions of little baby spiders didn't pour out and over-run the place.

It was a piece of polystyrene.

We've got an absolute beast posed menacingly on the high ceiling of our bottom flight of stairs. Not quite as big as my hand, but not a million miles off, and the body looks to be a couple of inches long. Not quite the biggest house spider I've seen, but he's up there.

We've come to an agreement that he can have the downstairs, so long as I don't ever see him in the rest of the house. Well, I talked, and he seemed to listen. Trouble is, I don't think I'm brave enough to actually use the nuclear deterrent (a shoe), so I may have to come and live with one of you if the detente breaks; sorry.

(you boys in the Antipodes are safe, naturally)

Was it touching up the little spiders?

Shush, Bob. Mozza was bad enough, but I can't lose you both.

I think it's had a wasp and a couple of bluebottles since yesterday. Starting to think he's actually a good c**t, although that's probably just what he wants me to think.

You know what to do, Dave.
