yep we have false widows in my area - but the reality is that they have been here a lot longer than people think and a lot further north than people think. As somebody with a dread of a beastie with an indecent number of legs I have been following this for some time.

I was bitten on the wrist at work 3 weeks ago today by something of the insect variety and the swelling has only just gone down( not sure what it was but hope it enjoyed the indorex spritzer I left it with overnight)

I like Spiders but eeeek! We have biting spiders in the UK now?! Have just done a bit of research

so the answer is YES.

OMG - #arachnaphobia ...

Does sound like a bite/sting reaction. I got bitten by a spider (one of those false widows) really nasty. We sprayed indorex round house -kills everything including spiders!!
