This is some biblical level shite we're experiencing over here.
Yes, I know some of you call them mosquito hawks, and that's fine, but they don't kill mosquitos. My wife calls them daddy long legs which is weird to me. Daddy long legs are spiders.
Anyway, I can't walk 4 feet outside without one of these dumbass bugs flying into me. Every time we open the door a couple of them get in.

I'm told this won't be a problem in the new St George.

Technically, they aren’t.

If I leave our French doors open in the back for 10 minutes I'll have 20 of them inside.

I never knew what those were called. I like to step outside a lot at night. Every time I do, several of those things get in,

Here we have the problem with confusing common names.
They are called "Daddy Longlegs" in the UK. Is there a Brit boning your wife?
In the USA Daddy Longlegs normally refer to Opiliones (AKA Harvestmen) which is an arachnid but NOT a spider. However spider genus Pholcidae, which has the approved common name Cellar Spider in the USA, is called D-legs in Australia and erroneously by some in the USA.
Clear now?

Leaving your doors open is trashy.
