"There's some big bastards around Portsmouth as I've recently discovered...... They bite aswell!!  "
I lived in Southampton. Early 90s I found these little black things with huge fangs. Tube web spiders . Then spreading from ports due to imports of wood from the canaries previous century. Then came the false widows…  |

"Conkers are good for deterring spiders
Sadly an old wives tale, it doesn't work. Supposedly there is something in them spiders don't like..

It's the shells they don't like. They keep breaking their fangs on them. |

"Our local overpopulation of sparrows are currently nailing every spider they can find "
Maybe spiders and bugs are spreading bird flu as a revenge/payback strategy  |

Dogs and cats are quite useful to clear the spiders on the floor inside the house, in the garden the birds do their best as long as I remember to cut the grass.
If the spider is on the ceiling as long as the wife doesn't see it, it's free to live. Otherwise the Dyson comes out and it ends up in the toilet. |
