Hi all not posted for a long time but have just seen an article regarding the false widow spider in Kent and London. They only attack when provoked but can cause swelling , bruising and pretty bad reactions in humans so I am worried about what might happen if the piggies were bitten? My boys are in a heated shed which had spiders in, I leave them be as they help keep the flies under control but not sure what to do now! Any ideas?
