Daddy Long Legs!

We are suffering from swarms of Daddy long legs..They are everywhere!
Have you the same problem??

 

yes

 

YES!!

 

YES and i am not keen on them..I was flapping tea towels at one yesterday he survived several flaps ..got him in the end..

 

Me too.....I'm not keen either, but do try to rescue them from the same fate as Wildflowers (my hubby is a whizz with the teatowel!!). I've caught that manynow I don't actually mind the feel of them flying around in my cupped hand!! How brave am I!!

 

Oh very brave Sheppy. We have loads here too. I can't kill anything me, but if the cats get to them before I do I don't feel too guilty.

We also have the 'great spider show' at the moment. All sorts, great big hairy ones, long thin spindly ones, short fat GREEN ones ... the list goes on. I quite like spiders, unless they creep on me unexpected like lol!

 

We have no end of them over here too, I just catch them and put them outside. I love spiders, they are fasinating.

 

We didn't have many until the night before last, we had a bit of a storm and some heavy rain, now there's loads of them.
The ground was really hard up until then, maybe they can now escape from the soil.

 

I dont mind them outside !! Their isnt anything in the house for them so i dont know why they bother coming in.. my greenhouse is full of them ..and so is the lawn..well its lights on windows closed at dusk..dont want to encourage them..

 

Not here, no more than usual but another hatching of flying ants gave all the birds around here a feast this afternoon.

 

Yup - daddy long legs ++++ here - and a fair number making it indoors - despite closing windows -my pup is chasing them around and eating them when caught -

They are not an insect that I am enamoured with, daft things, keep cannoning into things including me.
