hey yeah, us too, never seen them in these numbers at this house before, evryday i am glad for that innate thing red backs have in their inbuilt altimeter means *generally* means they dont stray far from groundlevel, yes i have seen them in a roof cavity, very rare in my experience, and no poisonous spiders build webs like say orb spiders do between trees, we would really be wouldnt we? interesting that, that would spark a vicious all out war on spiders wouldnt?
i went round perimeter of house walls/ground level vents last night with the greatest weapon ever invented regarding insects/ of all sorts, the atomic bomb of, the might rolled up newspaper, i know garfield comics guy is a fan, WHACK.... WHACK WHACK this continued seven more times
with this rolled up tome i smite thee oh evil dark grape with legs, and they say newspapers are endangered species, try doing that with you laptop! and this isnt the first night lately i have done this!
of note, i am pretty sure that daddy long legs are redbacks mortal enemy number one, and interesting that i havent seen those lanky bouncing freaks much of late? in fact none now, wonder if thats why the redbacks numbers are up? no longer kept in check? just a cycle, but strange in diff states who have had diff conditions hmmm
and redbacks introduced you say? not sure about that, heard that bout whitetails and turns out to be BS, also in bush think they live under *dry* rocks mostly, thats why you dont see 'em?
