A very big YES! They control the flies that enter the house.

One of the places I lived had a family of Gecko's living in one of the dark kitchen cupboards, absolutely great for keeping any would be bug inhabitants at bay.

Absolutely; and in Spain it is considered lucky to get one in the House, but not a lizard, they have pointy toes, Geckos round toes.

Just in this last couple of weeks I’ve killed three of the biggest spiders indoors I’ve ever seen, I’ve kept it quiet from the mrs and offspring because they’ll freak out, but they did look like some sort of massive freak mutation!! The spiders I mean, not the family

I have visited Australia 3 times and can report that thankfully I never experienced any spider issues.

On one occasion we visited a Wildlife Park and as part of a show a member of staff emptied a deadly spider out of a box for all to view.I cannot recall the species and I certainly never stroked it !!

not keen on them, but try to leave em alone unless they need removed at work.
sods always up in the eaves when I have to dust out prior to painting.
However do find them pretty repulsive if bigger & you can see the detail, as it were.
Had a couple of bad wobbles up ladders & on roofs a couple of times due to an unwanted spider visit.
would never visit Oz or some other countries due to the big beasty varieties

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.
