Sounds like you have as many visitors as we do.
Spiders are not a prob with me.I squished a huge Wolk spider yesterday that was hiding under some shade cloth I picked up.They always loose the argument with my boot.

We had a Brownie in the house a few years ago,fortunately Mrs Tyke remembered to freeze and back off.
IN THE HOUSE! OMG! :'(

That must have been really shocking. Did she know what it was? I had to get the book out when I first set eyes on it - looking through a set of binoculars.

To date that's 2 pythons (both on the deck, one face to face with the cat), 2 red bellied blacks (one on the road and one in the back garden), 1 green (on the deck), 1 yellow faced whip (asleep on the driveway after it slithered off the front steps) and 1 eastern brown (in the front garden). And a tiny snake - not its official name - but something so small I was playing with it with a cardboard kitchen roll tube. It was an agressive thing. Fun, until it disappeared up inside the tube I was holding...

Apparently you'll rarely see a snake in this country. ;) and it's good to have a red bellied black around as they're timid (the one I tried to shoo away with a broom handle wasn't and it kept coming back 'for more') because they keep the browns away - they eat the eggs of the browns.

Give me spiders any day.

And don't get me started on ants!
