Hi,
Seems like there's plenty of tales to tell on this subject.
The other problem living in the country is all the critters trying to make a home in the observatory and observatory hut.
Here's a list - centepedes, millepedes, ants, spiders, rabbits, mice.
I go through a lot of surface spray to keep the bugs out. The centepedes and spiders are the main worry. They make homes in the gap between the frame and wall cladding.
I don't wear thongs in the observatory. I got bitten on the finger by a black spider one night, he was sitting right on the door frame. I thought i'd just jagged my finger on the frame, until I went to bed and started to feel a bit weird. Woke up next morning with a swollen black finger.
The rabbits are trying to under mine the observatory hut, it has raised timber floor just right for the little buggers to make a home.
Still I wouldn't swap where I am, having dark skies outways all the critters.
Cheers,
Justin.
