A visit to the village reception didn&#8217;t do any good, as no bug spray was to be found there. They instead asked &#8220;if there were any guys around&#8221;, in case I was scared to do the squishing myself. One of my housemates had a bottle of surface cleaner (it claimed to kill bacteria and viruses&#8230;maybe spiders too?) so I used that, along with a flip-flop and paper towels to stop the infestation. I also tried to ward off a few larger spiders outside my window with surface cleaner (while trying to avoid spraying students walking below), but that did little good. It looks like the battle between them and I will continue&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-75 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0113.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"72\" height=\"96\" src=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0113.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0113.jpg 2448w, http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0113-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 72px) 100vw, 72px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0114.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"72\" height=\"96\" src=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0114.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0114.jpg 2448w, http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0114-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 72px) 100vw, 72px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0115.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"96\" src=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0115.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0115.jpg 3264w, http:\/\/ireland.markciecior.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/spiders-IMG_0115-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 128px) 100vw, 128px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply put, they are everywhere!
