Having dotted a few conkers (horse chestnuts) around the house to deter

I'm shocked - you, of all people!

Is this some sort of speciesism



No, it's territorialism:~). My home is being taken over by the
afore-mentioned Pholcus. One or two I can be happy with; an invading
army, I can't. I've shared my house with tarantulas, so it's definitely
not fear. It's slowly turning into Pholcus-related OCD! ;~).
