Spiders.

Ughh, spiders!
Normally, I'm not the type to be worried over spiders, I mean let's be honest they won't do you any harm in England, but lately, I'm not sure if it's the weather or my fear has just increased, but wow, have they gotten bigger! Just an example, I was sitting down watching t.v last night and just randomly an absolutely massive spider just runs out from behind the sofa into the middle of the room! When did spiders become so confident, I thought they're meant to be 'just a scared of us as we are of them' I don't think so. Anyway, this spider was so freaking huge that my mum and I ran screaming from the room and barricaded ourselves in the kitchen until my dad came home. The worst part is, he didn't find it! It's still there, lurking in the shadows ready to kill me or something. Here are a few "Spider preventatives" I found online, I'm going to give them a try because this is getting ridiculous.

1) Seal up your home. Patch up cracks and holes leading from the outside in to prevent spiders from finding their way indoors.

2) Keep your outdoor lights off. While outdoor lights will not attract spiders, they will attract other pests that can serve as appetizing food sources for spiders.

3) Remove vegetation away from the perimeter of your house. If you have a serious spider problem, consider transplanting shrubs, trees, ivy, and other plants from the perimeter of your house to the opposite side of the yard.

4) Vacuum spiders and spider webs. One of the simplest methods for getting rid of spiders is vacuuming up adult spiders, egg sacs, and webs as you run across them.

5) Deter spiders with horse chestnuts. Place a few horse chestnuts in each corner of the house and in
any area of the house where you frequently run across spiders.
