It worked.
The cobwebs are just superficial and pose no health threat. The many spiders that live in my house eliminate any flies or mozzies before nightfall. I do not use any insect sprays as they are neurotoxins and affect human nerve signals.
The more people commented on the cobwebs the more I was determined to let them accumulate as the spiders scurried about the place.
For a bit of sport I sometimes catch a slow blowie alive and place it in a web near a very big black 'tame' spider. It is wonderful to watch this spider swiftly and efficiently catch and devour the fly.
What is more important is that I decided to enjoy life rather than wasting time polishing and cleaning my possessions to some unattainable level that only the obsessive compulsive person aspires to.
