It's odd the way insects in the house vary from year to year. Not many flies this year, but far more
cellar spiders than usual. We think they are cellar spiders - long legs, little bodies and messy webs.
Mrs H gathers them up in a tissue and carefully puts them out in the garden. I get rid of them with the portable vacuum cleaner which has the advantage of removing their webs too.

None here, although we had an infestation of the little beggars in our last house.
The ones that intrigue me are the wing-mirror spiders.
Sam - wing-mirror spiders certainly are intriguing. I wonder if they are attracted to heated wing mirrors.
Narcissistic arachnids.
Who like a bit of a breeze which carries dinner to them.
Wing mirror spiders? Yes, very wired. I also have CCTV camera spiders. When there's a web on the camera, I go out and give it a good do with the feather duster, only to see the little bugger starting to rebuild by the time I've got back inside and on the couch
Doonhamer - and have a place to hide when the breeze becomes a roaring gale.
Bucko - a relative sees them crawling across his rear-view car camera. I'll tell him he needs a feather duster.
I let spiders live in my house undisturbed. Never see flies or other small insects.
But then I do not have any of the fairer sex at home presently - they might object to my mini-zoo!
Ed - spider don't bother me, but the messy webs of cellar spiders have a hint of dereliction about them, so out comes the vacuum cleaner.
