Well... yeah... a bathroom tumbler. Spiders terrify me and I presume that's where they're coming from.

 

They come up plugholes don't they? Or is that a myth 

I always thought it was a myth.   You find them in the bath because the drop down from the ceiling and can't climb back out... they keep sliding back down.

 

Funny - I've never found a spider in the shower - wonder why that is.

There was a wasp in the pub the other day . I didn't think they came out at this time,hate the bloody things .

We have to pay for that service here, erin - it's only free to pensioners.    I thought I had a wasps nest too a couple of years ago - kept finding lots of them - I got a pest control company out, and he inspected the loft etc but there was nothing there - he just thought it was coincidence.  Didn't charge either, which pleased me!

about what?  the charge or the no charge.   Not kidding on either.  Might have changed it - it used to be free, then they stopped it being free unless  you were a pensioner or on benefits.   The pest control guy I got was a local independent (always support my local traders if I can) andhe just said he didn't do anything and maybe i'd call him again or recommend him to friends.   I think I gave him a tenner or summat anyway for putting my mind at rest

Can't believe you have to pay.

I would think that if the council is your landlord then surely it's their responsibility.
