And as for your slugs, I think that they all came over here. They are the only live creature that I am totally phobic about.Maggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479533794674357334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414982699661382651.post-84848964024159510562015-03-26T01:23:44.326+10:002015-03-26T01:23:44.326+10:00We have the ants and spiders, (though no ants in t...We have the ants and spiders, (though no ants in the winter) but no geckos thank goodness. i'm waiting for spring to arrive........Suztatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703965965474209546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414982699661382651.post-79931615079758370102015-03-24T19:13:20.165+10:002015-03-24T19:13:20.165+10:00So glad you are posting even if it is about ants a...So glad you are posting even if it is about ants and pests!

I have never heard of barking geckos but am glad we don't have them. We do have ants and one year had an infestation of flying ants which had nested under our kitchen boiler. I thought they were coming in from outside but suddenly noticed this large black 'puddle' round the base of the boiler where they were emerging en masse. I ended up doing a sort of native dance to get rid of them! We have slugs and snails aplenty. Hope you get some cooler weather soon, and some rain.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
