        You can put them in the garage or shed, they'll be less likely to try to come back in the house then where it's warmer 😊

        Ok so, if your child was bitten by a false widow spider at school, would you kick off and blame the school for not closing down and dealing with them?

        The false widow causes, at worst, a mildly irritating itch.

        These spiders are less bothersome than wasps for Christ's sake. I feel sorry for the parents having to deal with unnecessary school closures - they already have to deal with "teacher training days" whatever they are.

        They've been in the country since the 1870's how come we've suddenly and collectively decided to shit ourselves everytime one of these arachnids turns up?
