I'm not sure what you have heard over there but it's not as bad as you are making out...really. Bugs that can come into the house - well flies are a nuisance but not dangerous. Cockroaches are common but not dangerous but if you keep your place clean and tidy you wont get lots, if you get the odd one just make sure you have some bug spray and you'll be right. Ants - same thing spray the little suckers =D Daddy long leg spiders - not dangerous, same thing just spray'em. Red back spider is dangerous they usually like to take refuge in amongst wood or anything that is stacked/piled up somewhere, but when you go snooping for things just keep you eyes peeled for them if you see them then just spray them as well. You can get your whole place sprayed by professionals, just call the local exterminator and they will do the job. But don't be terrified by this it's not all that bad, you'll see what I mean when you get here. Good luck and have fun!! =) |
