25.01.2022 A British man visiting his mother discovered her spare bedroom was already in useby thousands of wasps that had chewed up the mattress and pillows to make a 3-foot-wide nest on the bed. Pest controller John Birkett says a small window in the bedroom had been left open and the wasps had been at work for at least three months. "It was like the horror film Birds but [with] wasps," he tells ABC, saying the infestation in Hampshire, England, was the biggest wasps' nestand the st...rangest incidentin his 45 years in the business. Birkett says he "dressed up like a spaceman" to get rid of the 5,000-strong swarm, which included hundreds of queen wasps, reports the Guardian. The exterminator, who was able to rescue a blanket on the bed, seems to have gained a lot of respect for wasps during his decades in the business: "It was a work of art and they had worked so hard, but she looked at it and said, 'No, no, noyou've got to get rid of it,'" he says. "If they did that in three-and-a-half months, that's amazing, isn't it? They're just little things."

06.01.2022 Spiders in the House and Garden Almost all spiders possess venom for the purpose of subduing their prey, which are normally insects. It is sensible to be respectful of spiders, rather than frightened of them.... Spider Venom Almost all spiders possess venom for the purpose of subduing their prey - normally insects. This makes spiders one of the most beneficial of invertebrate groups. Spider venom is occasionally used against humans. This usually happens when the spider is trying to defend itself. While many spiders are not able to penetrate human skin with their fangs, those that can occasionally inflict painful and, in rare cases, dangerous bites. Spider Control Eliminating spiders from an area for a long period of time is almost impossible. Spiders do not congregate in a single large nest, so the population cannot be destroyed by targeting one site. New spiders will quickly recolonise an area if the inhabitants are killed off. In many species, young spiders (or 'spiderlings') disperse by 'ballooning'. They spin silk strands that are taken by the wind, carrying the spiders over potentially long distances. Although keeping an area free of spiders is difficult, there are many precautions that can be taken to avoid bites. Avoid walking outside with bare feet, especially at night. When gardening, wear shoes, long trousers and thick gloves to guard against any spiders, scorpions, centipedes or stinging insects. Wandering spiders can enter houses at ground level, often under a door. Fitting weather strips or using draft excluders can block this entry route. Fitting fly-screens to windows and wall ventilators will prevent any climbing spiders from obtaining access. A cleared area around the house will discourage burrowing spiders from making burrows there. It is a good idea to educate children to 'look but don't touch' when they find any spiders, and for adults to obey the same rule. It is sensible to be respectful of spiders, rather than frightened of them. - See more at: http://australianmuseum.net.au/spiders-in-the-house-and-gar
