OMG PJ that’s the stuff of nightmares
I generally don’t mind spiders myself, although in my opinion we have some that hide and kill in Australia. Like red backs... I’m not a fan of them but I just try to avoid them...
But I do kill mozzies, they carry all sorts of nasty things, especially viruses like Ross River fever, Dengue fever, Zika, Barmah Forest and Murray Valley encephalitis to name a few, plus I come up in huge red itchy welts from their bites. I know they probably have an important role in the food chain of the ecosystem but surely the critters that eat mozzies can eat something else instead.... ?
