We had one a few months back and I just called Pest Control to get rid of it.   But its very uncommon for them to come to Scotland and normally only found in South of England I was told.

Scottish Widows are rare?

Scottish Widows are a Investment and Pension Company.    ::)roll

 

Right.
It's good to hear that they're dealing with their bereavement in such a productive way.
I just hope their husbands weren't killed by spiders. It was probably alcohol related, though, if they were Scottish.

Good for window cleaners he said!!

I've spent half the night in hospital for a suspected bite from this little f*****. The pain is intolerable. It started as a blister which then came off to reveal a red lump that became in 4 days the size of a grape and the worst pain conceivable. Will post a pic later for the non squeamish!

Did you get bit on the job and what area are you in? News item I saw likened it more to the pain from a wasp sting.

In Sussex mate, the bite ( sting ) is nothing it's the after effects, at the time (in a customers garden) I just rubbed the bite but a day later it was agony. I didn't see the little b****  it's what the doctor thought it was. I'll try and post a pic later.
