    Keep it as tidy as you can and then just sweep out all the crawlies often.

    Ive done that many times..wil do it again soon. But due to the heat inside the shed i think it attracts them. If there is something that would keep them out that wud be great..but thanks for the reply tho

    The missus painted the inside of our shed white to help spot them (it also makes it *much* brighter at night which is handy)
    I guess you could buy a really big spider that will eat everything else, at least then you only have one thing to worry about.
    Or a lizard, lizards are good at that :)

    On a more serious note you can get Bug Repellent stuff from B&Q and such places, they have smelly and sonic versions, dunno which is better.

    Smelly or sonic...hmm interesting...il definatly have a look for that thanks:) But u know i actually really was thinking of a lizard at one stage hehe...at least that way i have a reason:P Does anyone know where to get a mosquito net, a smal one, at least then i can open the window and wasps wont be able to get in, cause the place is like a sauna! Thanks for the info tho GreeBo
