The campaign of chucking every spider I see through the window has been a long, laborious and often petrifying affair, but it seems to be working.
New problem:
The house is filling up with flies. There are two in the room with the computer (where I am now), one in my bedroom, and at least 3 in the kitchen.
Unlike spiders, they can fly (no sh**!), and they're quick - too quick to catch. Meaning I'm at their mercy.
Fortunately they're also unlike spiders in the fact that they don't try to kill you, or worse crawl across your face, while you sleep, so at the moment we're getting along fairly well.
The one in my bedroom seemed fairly polite, until he got a bit too bold and buzzed around my face - though that didn't last. I think we bonded.
But will the house's fly population follow a 'boom-bust' pattern, or will it rise forever, until it reaches a plateau where it's just not possible to fit any more flies in?
Even if I'm to be saved by the boom-bust distribution, at their peak I could be inhaling 7 flies with every breath.
If you've ever been cycling with your mouth open you'll know why this scares me.
Yep, I'm very much a one-fly-man, and while I can tolerate the other 5 (jealous) flies for now, inevitably the fly population will spiral out of all control, driving me from my home.
And all because I chucked a bunch of spiders out of the window.
Don't be a fool, don't go the same way I did. Mother Nature knows better than you ever will, and if she says the spiders are in then so it must be.
You've been warned.

Ah you see, it's better to keep those spiders in the room - they're the ones who snare the flies in their webs and suck out their puddings.
Obviously no one wants spiders crawling over their face in the dead of night, but they generally tend to stay in dark corners or in the corners of the ceiling.
Flies drive me mad, especially the ones that buzz with a high-pitched wheeze. My spiders take care of 'em - they are my friends.
I don't know if you've ever had an infestation of mice [or little rats]. I have, and it's seriously bad news. They scurry around waking you up every five minutes, russle about in waste paper bins, spring onto the bed, leave droppings everywhere, and [so I'm told] urinate everywhere too. Terrible.
We didn't want to do it, but we had to get Rent-a-kill in. The non-lethal mousetraps didn't work.

I had loads them in my room. They come through a vent in my room.
Now I just have a nest of moths. I get around 50 moths a night.
