Alright, stupid question. My garage is overrun with spiders' webs - it's like a scene from a hammer horror whenever I go in there. I'm going to give it a good clean over the weekend but is there an easy way to keep the buggers out?

    Good idea! Or maybe a colony of spider eating wasps?

    Citronella Oil can help but spiders are pretty much fearless.

    Maybe you could get an old lady to go in and swallow them. Or maybe she'd just take one for her needs.

    I know an old lady who put a bird in her garage... how absurd

    I had a shed delivered flat packed and when I started to put it together there were already spiders in/on it

    Get wife to clean it. And clean bikes while she's at it.

    You could always buy a few of these to put your spider problem in perspective:-

    Fortunately it is free of woodworm, for the time being at least.
