Perfect, I can live with that.
I just went out my front door and heard a Bee making a hell of a noise as it was caught in a web being attacked by a False Widow spider (loads around the outside of my house), so I got the Bee out of the web and spent a bit of time gently getting all the spider web off of it but sadly a few minutes later it died, the spider must have already bit it.
I've now cleared all the spider webs away and treated the area with some natural spider repellent, same stuff I put around my doors and windows to keep those False Widows out.
If you've found a spider repellent that actually works please share the details. I have to get the extending brush out to my cctv cameras every three or four days as the web's obstruct the view when the IR illuminator kicks in.
