I'm painting my stair well and hall walls and ceilings.

A few days ago I washed down all surfaces and removed all the spider's
webs, many of which were visible because they contained dust.

Painting today and the spiders have re-occupied the corners and have
reconstructed their webs. It's a PITA when paint gets on the webs and to
remove the resultant mess requires the use of fingers and wiping the wet
paint on my T shirt!

TBH about 30 seconds ago I was reading this

That would look cool on a CV (tarantula trainer). And how did they train
it? Jab it in the knackers with a stick and shout jump?

There seems to be a plague of the things and their webs, which get dirty
and eventually hang down in long streamers are unsightly and unsanitary.
I've had to declare total war against the ****ers; it's the only way. If
I do nothing now I'll be totally overrun with the ****s come autumn.

Killem all.
Then post a few months later asking how to get rid of the moth infestation.

Vacuum cleaner on hand is all I'll say...

Hmm, ocf course the spider might have the view that she trained the bloke to
only ask it to jump when it wanted them to do it.

The thing is though everyone complains about flies wasps etc, yet without
the spiders there would be more of the pests. Spiders are good for you.

I don't mind spiders, except when I'm on the upper rungs of a ladder
with a paint pot in one hand and a brush in the other.

A have a large resident spider that can be seen on many evenings
appearing from a small hole at the bottom of the skirting board in my
living room. It then runs across the carpet and does a circular tour of
the room before going back to the hole.

I wouldn't mind a lot more webs outside in my garden. For the past week
or so there have been "clouds" of greenfly looking for my young crops to
settle on and feed.
