Oh no - how can you 'keep' a few about. I am goose bumps just thinking about it. As far as I am concerned they should all be exported!! (yes, I know they do good, kill loads of other pests etc. but please not within 5 miles of me !!!!) CM |

Oh yes I remember the story of the woman who got a spider nest in our her bananas. It was a little egg nest that hatched lots of JUMPING spiders  (not tarantuals, although I wouldn't say it hasn't happened). Loads of little spiders appeared in her house but then they got bigger and bigger. She eventually had to leave her house so they could get rid of them all, as there were too many for her to kill, and they were so big that they'd make the curtains shake when they ran behind them It was on BBC a few years ago if I remember.I hate big spiders. Teeny ones are really cute and ickle, but big ones with knarly legs and chunky bodies make me uncontrollable scream. Thank goodness Darcy is a spider-hunter  |

Darcy can come and live here any time he wants a vacation. Any spider hunting cat is my best friend. Merlin takes absolutely no notice of them. I get the good old common cross spiders in the greenhouse and they are fine in there and I will let them be. It's the big black ones whose names I don't know - I just yell until OH comes along with a glass and a beer mat and takes them outside for me. Would prefer not to kill them as I know they eat flies and I hate flies too. Had an enormous grasshopper in the lounge the other night. Big green fellow. Not scared of them - where's the logic in that? |

I'm next on the waiting list for Darcy, please! Leia doesn't bother with anything smaller than mice! |

I could loan someone Oliver, flies, spiders anythingLike that has no chance with him, but he does not catch mice....!!! |

He and Leia would make a good team then, Moli! When will he be over?  |

Darcy and Oliver, spider hunters extraordinaire!  All Darcy's asks in return is that, whenever he starts meowing loudly, you pick him up and hug him for at least 10 minutes still he starts to purr so much it sounds like he's snoring  Sounds like fun, but as he's such a big fellow my arms do start to ache after a while! |

Rover's a fiend for the spiders and flies. <crunch><crunch><gulp> gone. I feel sorry for the former. I think he'd like to try mice. May he come on a seminar with Leia as well, DM? ^^ |

Indeed, he'd be welcomed with open arms (by me, not sure about Leia!) But be warned, after the first few she gets bored and practices "catch and release"...so they are still alive somewhere in the house for her to re-catch! |
