Why You Should Never Put Patio Furniture in the Pool

Because spiders live under the furniture. I am now off to google how long redbacks can survive under water.

NB: We fished both chairs out and killed one BIG redback but the other chair was in longer and there was debate as to whether there was another spider on it while it was under water. There wasn't when it was salvaged. Is it in the pool somewhere????????????????????

Two words: Boric Acid. Do you have that there? It's very effective.

Scary lethal spiders are one thing I'm not looking forward to when we move down to your neck of the woods. They must drown eventually?
