    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Kitchen space is always tight, and we’ll squeeze what we can into every drawer, cupboard, and crevice that we have. But are you guilty of taking it a step too far and turning your oven into another makeshift storage space? The oven is a big, empty space, and it’s all too tempting to take advantage of it when it’s out of action, especially with items that are designed to withstand such temperatures anyway, so what’s the harm? But there are three reasons why you should avoid doing this, according

    I’m always uneasy about spiders in the bedroom. It’s difficult enough to drift off to sleep without a blurry mark gradually working its way across the ceiling! Seeing that it’s spider mating season, high spider activity can’t be helped. But still, why are they setting up shop in my bedroom, and what could possibly be the big attraction here?

But what if I were to tell you that you’ve been approaching the spider all wrong? I spoke to Ricky Young, owner of Youngs Pest Control, to discuss

    I’ve had a few people around the office complain about “giant spiders” this week. They’ve seemingly come out of nowhere and have set up shop in our homes, finding the sweet spot on our ceilings or hiding away in nooks and crannies, ready to dash across the room and scare the life out of us.
