we had one in our garden last year, but know we have been flooded with them.
I was in the garden last night and there must have been around 100 of them.
My wife has asked me to kill them all as my 6 year old play out there with her friends.
out garden is not a mess and all loggs and old tress and been taken down over the winter.
We have also had a big problem with earwigs, so much so for the last 3 nights i have been out in the garden with a spray gun shooting them, i have killed around 2000 over the last 3 nights, all our plants and veg have been eaten by them.
going back to the sipders i hear they can give a very nasty bite and even more so to a young child.

lol bloody done that, we moved in last year and since then have spent most of the time working on it. it looks very nice now but at night it comes alive with the spiders and earwigs.....like most gardens, but not all have the False widow spiders in them, it has not helped that we had no rain for 3 moths and has been very warm, i was sure all that snow at the end of last year would have killed them lol

I can't help but think this isn't the best place to be posting for advice on deadly spiders. The UK isn't well-known for deadly animals!
