Or to be correct a crane fly..there everywhere (United Kingsdom) its driving me mad as i hate the little blighters!
Somebody tell me how to get rid! before i go crazy!!
Answers:
Argh I hate them! They are especially bad if you live in a grassy area!
Keep your windows and doors closed at night as they are attracted to the lights and will fly into your house.
My mum has a great way of getting rid of them without getting to close - she gets the pipe from the hoover and sucks them up!!
Otherwise you can swat them with a newspaper (means getting closer though) or spray them with flyspray.
Just try to remember to shut your doors and windows before you turn your lights on!
Apparently, if you eat 14 of them, word gets round and they leave you alone.
MOVE to A different house
sad
I've noticed that giant moths are every where in the south of England.
but dont know how to get rid of daddy long legs.sorry.
they are harmless, trust me
me my friends did this. put daddy long legs in cup and fill with water then freeze!! it works!!
want to borrow my dog, she goes mental after them, dont last long in our house
Yeah its the time of year, I find they can't resist the dyson.
Also keep the windows closed when the lights are on.
get your boyfriend to capture them well thats what i do strange to think when i was young i used to pull the legs off one by one funny how we change as we age
Here in the US, we call these mosquito eaters.
Daddy Long Legs are a type of spider
just squish squish squish them until they all gone!
Cup them in your hand and throw them outside, close the window or they will come back in for the light.
get a insect spary or one you light
I've a kamakaze 1 in the house the now, it just dive bombed me and i nearly fell off the bloody chair. A BT phone book seems to work.
a daddy long leg in the US is a spider with huge long legs but it is a nice spider. Do not think I'd like the crane fly! Yuk Yuk!
Just let 'em be
They are harmless and just doing what nature intended for them to do.
Put a sign up saying dads with long legs keep out
Catch it and throw it back out of the window then put a do not disturb mat outside so it kows it ain't welcome again
God your a whimp! They way less than a sheet of toilet paper yet reduce adults to a shivering wreck. They are totaly harmless and don't have the facility to bite or sting so what is the problem?
My wife hates them, too. The only solution we've found is to keep the windows closed in the evenings. They're even worse than moths for being attracted to lights. If you can't persuade the rest of your household to do this, then citronella oil or candles (a known midge repellant) might work.
On the other hand, you could learn to love 'em. They eat mosquito larvae, which are a far worse nuisance.
Yep, little buggers are everywhere. I dont mind them, my husband freaks out at them though, so I have to catch them, I just grab them in my hand and throw them out of the door.
You could always just splat them. If they stay still long enough.
Kneecap 'em with a mallet!!
if a daddy long legs bit you u could die because they have poison in them - but dont worry because they do not have teeth and so can not bite
september in the UK is a really bad time for the horrible creatures, theylove light so try and keep yur lights off at night and close your doors and windows!
Nasty things.
They wont harm you just leave them alone!
I know, I have noticed it too. Apparently it is the mating season which is why they are all out and about, they're hoping to pull! Haha!
There is not a lot you can do. Fly spray will knock em dead in a little while. Keep back and front doors shut if you have the light on as they will take it as an invitation to come on in!
Did you know that daddy long legs actually have the deadliest venom in the world? The only reason we don't die is that their lips are so soft that they can't get a grip on our skin to bite us and kill us! Interesting eh!??
i have a totally mad phobia of the damn things i really am very scared of them and they are everywhere an i have never found away to get rid of them. if u can stay in the same room as them flick them with a towel and they fall apart but i cant even get that close!! my 8 yr old girl loves them though she gets them for me her poor wimpy mummy lol if shes in bed hough i have had it i run away to my bed
there everywhere at the moment because its the time of year for hatching. I used to have a real phobia with them but have overcome it.
