Swarm of THOUSANDS of spiders brought out by floodwaters inundate a family’s home completely covering their garden – as the brave homeowner rubs his hands on the crowding arachnids
Thousands of spiders have inundated a family’s fence and backyard in an attempt to seek refuge and escape the New South Wales floods.
The arachnids swarmed Matt Lovenfosse’s property in Kinchela Creek, on the state’s mid-north coast, after heavy rain hit the region over the last week.
Mr Lovenfosse, his fiancee Jessy and two daughters stood next to the spider-infested fence as they appeared on the Today show on Wednesday morning.

Today host Karl Stefanovic asked: ‘How are you standing so close with your babies to that wall of spiders?’
Mr Lovenfosse replied: ‘They’re cool. They won’t eat much.’
The couple said they were prepared for the plague of spiders as Mr Lovenfosse remembered observing the critters during a flood when he was a child.
Stefanovic said the sighting was his ‘worst nightmare’.
