A DOG dressed up as a giant spider, and seen terrorising unsuspecting victims, has become an internet sensation.

Chica the Dog Spider is the fever dream and film creation of Polish prankster Sylwester Wardega, whose imaginative short already has almost 8 million views on YouTube.

As for spiders, if there's any in the house I'll pick them up and put outside, unlike the wife, she'll give 'em a headache with her slipper, poor little beggers.

I set out 6 of my famous beer/fruit juice powered snail, slug and cockroach traps yesterday...

CATCH so far as of this arvo', (just under 24 hours..) :

>40 slugs, 6 snails, 1 caterpillar, and myriad small flies and black ants.
(Some of the skinks and other local lizards could start helping themselves to the marinated corpses in the next couple of days ~ and some of them often like to drink the bait as well !).

Hi Wolf. That was a good score. I'll have to try that.

Stout is pretty good at netting slugs. I leave a jar of stout in my wormer too, it has caught hundreds of nasty little white slugs. I find that leaving crushed duck eggshells around the veg patch has helped a little as well.

Any advice on the black flies?

That would just about give me a heart attack, so why did I laugh so much. bounce

TRY making a 'no cost fly trap', as follows ~

Take a 2 liitre plastic fruit juice bottle, and cut it crossways just about where there's a bit of a ridge where it starts to taper into the neck;

Invert the top neck section into the main body of the bottle, so that it acts to funnel the flies into the bottle, and stops them escaping;

For the fly bait, leave an inch or so of fruit juice, soft drink, energy drink, perhaps a bit of rotten fruit added to the mix', in the bottom;

Leave these traps among those flowers and fruit trees that attract flies, on the back verandah, near the back door...

And when there's a few thousand mouldering corpses in the by-now well-fermented juice, either throw the mess onto the compost bin or worm farm, or directly into the vege' patch or orchard.. geek
