they will probably move on when you p*ss them of by moving into their house  but being more serious phone the council up rather than rentokill etc,
we've had a couple of pest 'issues' and the lads from the council pest control dept have been great - couple of cups of tea and some
biscuits and they might tell you how to sort it properly free of charge...

Spiders show that the environment round your new property is in very good condition...By this I mean you have good soil and plant life and loads of
bugs for them to eat....
Expecting the next post to read
thousands of bugs help
Spiders are cool its dam midges that do my head in

As Mango said, there's worse bugs flying around that will actually bite you.
I used to get rid of all spiders out of the house, but we live not far from the River Ouse in York and there's some sacrificial land
that's part of the flood defence that gets swamped quite a few times a year. When it happens in the summer, a few days after the river goes
down we are always swarmed with midges.
I son't mind the spiders so much anymore - anything that helps keep the midges at bay is OK in my book!

We have a couple of resident massive spiders in our house. Their body is about the size of a Jelly bean and you would have trouble getting them under
a pint glass.
Me and my lady have called them Boris and Doris!!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Had a bit of the garden dug up yesterday and it uncovered a wasps nest in the soil. Had hundreds of the blooming things swarming about afterwards.
They've since been dealt with...

according to my mum, they're scared of conkers. put one in the room, and they won't go in....
she also beleives that if you get a long piece of string, thread bread onto it, and seagulls will eat the bread, and the string passes through, then
another will eat the string etc etc, til you have a string of seagulls.
yeah, i'm not convinced by it either, but she insists it works....

When I bought in France the house had been empty.
Just give the house a good clean and they will gradually disappear.

my house is also spider infested, but almost completely due to the fact that we have a very bushy garden.
we have so many spiders in fact, that i have found many ways of killing them. but it is true you dont want to get rid of them completely as they take
care of worse insects.
However, the penny dropped last week when i found a huge one nesting inside one of the brake calipers of my seven, i screamed "THATS IT",
got the blowtorch out and now they dont want to get even close to the car
some spiders actually blow up when you put a blowtorch to them! its not a very nice sight... but it is a good way of killing them.

LOL I would just sell it and buy another one 
my old lady naighbor many years back burnt my house down, we had problems with damp on the walls etc of an extension, it turned out that the walls
were thick with ivy and other stuff on her side of the garden, she also had a habit we later found out of leaving her hose or sprinkler on
"watering" the plants and our extension, for weeks at a time
then the dotty ol dear got upset at our moaning and asking her to stop, according to the police and a local gardner, she had asked for a price to a
have it removed, couldnt afford it, so over time saved up petrol, parrafin etc etc, then set fire to it in the middle of the night, along with the
fibreglass flat roof, the kitchen, the bathroom, bedrooms, house etc etc etc
hmm now I think about it, spiders or ivy
nah gimme the ivy every time
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

It going to start to cool off now so they will move inside. The conkers really work. Just put them in the corners of your windows and the rooms and at
the entrance doors to the house. I have no idea why they work though. Anyone out there got the answer?
