sarrenJust found me a redback outside the backdoor. Now me and bugs I feel a need to kill (which isn't many of them, mainly cockroaches *shudder*) After I spend 10 minutes locating a nearly empty can of poison, while exercising my mental willpower to prevent said bug from wandering off, I spray bug. Once. Twice at the most. Unlike housemate who generally empties half a can per spider.
Except of course for redbacks with potential access to Bunny, as Bunny spends as much time Outside as she can convince us to spend supervising her. Must now contact bugspraying people.
That redback is now paste - on the grounds it might have been full of baby redbacks.
Anecodote - my nephew, a while back, age 2, wandered into house to show Mummy item squashed between finger and thumb. Yes, it was a redback.
