Spider Invasion - Thank God I Had The Dirt Devil Bagless Upright Vacuum To Save Ourselves

In the last autumn the creepy crawlers came scampering into our residence from their outside nests looking for refuge from the impending winter winds and cold. If there is one thing I can't stand it is spiders. One night I was awoken by the howling breeze and a scary dream to discover with dismay, just above my head on the ceiling was a monstrous, hairy, eight legged creature which seemed to sense my fear and came creeping towards me in a slow but determined manner. I shouted, but it kept coming.

I woke my husband who had lost in the world of dreams and pushed him, half-awake through the hall shouting 'Get the vacuum cleaner, its time to go spider-busting'. It was just when we switched on the lights which we saw with complete misery that the arachnid invader was not alone - he had an army - all through the house they were dotted, stooping in corner, creeping down walls. Right, it was time for determined action.

We woke the children and fortunately we had our own arsenal of weapons in the form of three powerful cleaning tools - the Dirt Devil bagless upright vacuum, I selected this one as I've always loved the bag less alternative; The Dirt Devil upright vacuum was my husband's choice, and my son handled the Dirt Devil Featherlite upright vacuum - bless him he is only 5 but he can handle the 14lb Featherlite no problem and thought this midnight game a great delight! In the mean time, our 3 year old ran round the home in ecstasy at the mad excitement and commotion.

Well you must have seen the three of us running around the house, there were screams - of enjoyment, and dismay - as the spiders were sucked up or managed to flee the mighty filthy devil suction and rush for brief refuge under a cabinet or bookcase. After an hour, the house was glinting as every bit of carpet and floorboard, each curtain and piece of soft furnishing had been given the once, twice and thrice-over from our intrepid dust-busters.

The powerful equipments on our Dirt Devils made the cleaning hasty and effectual and the remarkable 25 foot cables implied that we can cover the complete house from only one power point. When at last we'd finished, and not a hairy leg or web can be found in the entire house, we were satisfied. We were exhausted but pleased. We gratefully packed away our Dirt Devil friends. There was no doubt, they'd been our Angels tonight.
