Get a lot of flies in your house? Because I don't get any, due to my friendly neighbourhood spider.

Kids make you functionally paranoid, I won't fault your decisions though. I learned about spiders at that age, listened to my mum about them and developed a phobia, so hopefully your kids will not grow up being way too afraid of them and can have spiders in their house when they grow up. Good luck!

    No, we don't actually.

    We live on the south coast so the small flies are only around for a few weeks, and the bigger ones never get too problematic.

    Spiders don't really control flies. Plenty of flies in the bush. A couple of flies a week is ample sustenance even for a large spider.

    Beautiful down there. After living in SE NSW for so long, I drove around the country a while ago and when I got to southwest WA I kept thinking "holy shit, this has been here the whole time??!?".

    The northern bits with the alien-looking baobabs everywhere are also pretty amazing, but living up there would be tough, unlike near those karri forests. Phwoar.
