OK, I know this may sound childish, but are there really a LOT of spiders. I was on another message board and there was a thread about the spiders in NZ. It made it sound like everyone had spiders crawling through their housesin vast numbers. Are they really that bad? Do people not use bug killer? Not a lot of spiders in Canada, certainly none that will hurt you, and I've lived in Arizona where we had black widows living in the storage shed and the hot water cupboard. Some good spider spray took care of that. I'm not going to let spiders determine whether I migrate or not, but some of the comments I read gave me the heebie-jeebies.
