Nā te pāmahana raumati teitei ake i te tikanga (nā reira i piki ake ai te maha o ngā namu, ā, ka noho hei puna kai mā ngā pūngāwerewere), me ngā ua tōmua o te marama kua taha ake nei, i hoki mai ai ngā pūngāwerewere ki ō tātou kāinga. Nā te ua anō hoki i mau ai ngā kai a ngā pūngāwerewere i roto i ō rātou kupenga, ā, nā reira i piki ake ai te taupori pūngāwerewere.
E ai ki ētahi o ngā kainoho o te raki, e kite ana rātou i ngā pūngāwerewere tae atu ki te 7.5 henimita te roa e ngokingoki ana ki roto i ō rātou kāinga—he nui hei tuku wiri ki raro i ngā tuaiwi o te tini tāngata.
Nā ēnei āhuatanga o te rangi kua ara ake ngā pane kōrero pēnei i te "Kei te whakaekea ō tātou kāinga e ngā Pūngāwerewere Nui, Hiakai e Ka Taea ai te Whakaoho i ngā Pūoho Tahae."
E pā ana tēnei kite whakamatautauranga a ngā pūngāwerewere whare tāne (nō te puninga Tegenaria) ki te tomo ki ngā whare e rapu ana i te mahana, i te piringa me te hoa.
Ko te nuinga o ngā momo pūngāwerewere neke atu i te 670 e ahu mai ana i te UK, kāore e uru ki roto i ō tātou kāinga. Ko te nuinga e noho ana i te ngahere, pērā i ngā taiepa me ngā ngahere, ko ngā pūngāwerewere waka ia e noho ana i raro i te wai.
Engari ki te kitea e koe tētahi i roto i tō whare, kaua e mataku. Ahakoa he āhua whakamataku ēnei mea huruhuru, he nui atu tō rātou whakamīharo i te whakamataku.
Engari ngana ki te kōrero ki taku wahine, ki ngā miriona tāngata rānei e pāngia ana e te arachnophobia koretake (e mōhiotia ana ko te arachnophobia).
He maha ngā wā ka tukuna iho tēnei mataku i ngā mātua ki ngā tamariki. Ahakoa he āhua noa iho te hiahia o ngā tamariki ki te tango i ngā pungawerewere, ka whakaatu ki ō rātou mātua, me te pātai atu ki ō rātou whakaaro, ki te mea he hamama whakamataku te tauhohenga tuatahi a ngā pakeke, kāore pea rātou e pā atu ki tētahi pungawerewere anō.
E kī ana ētahi ko te take i wehi ai te tangata i ngā pūngāwerewere nā te mea i ako te iwi tawhito ki te tūpato ki ngā mea hanga tauhou i te wā o te whanaketanga.
Heoi, e ai ki te tohunga pūngāwerewere a Helen Smith, he nui ngā ahurea e whakanuia ana ngā pūngāwerewere, kaua e kinongia, ahakoa e noho ana rātou i waenganui i ngā momo whakamate me ngā momo paitini.
Ko tētahi atu take e whakamataku ai mātou i ngā pūngāwerewere ko tō rātou tere. Inaa, kotahi maero ia hāora anake tā rātou nekeneke. Engari mō te rahi, mēnā he rite te rahi o te pūngāwerewere whare ki te tangata, ka tino oma atu ia i a Usain Bolt!
Ina hoki, nā te whanaketanga o te ao, kua tere, kua kore e taea te matapae i ngā pūngāwerewere kia mawhiti atu i ngā kaipahua pērā i ngā ngeru me ngā manu. Kaua e mataku ina kite koe i tētahi pūngāwerewere; engari, me mihi ki tō rātou oranga whakamiharo.
E kī ana a Helen Smith: "Ko te ako ki te mōhio ki ngā uwha (he nui ake) te tīmatanga o te mārama ki ō rātou kōrero whakamiharo mō te ao, ā, ka āwhina i te huri i te wehi hei hiahia."
Ko te roa o ngā pūngāwerewere uwha e ono henimita te roa, ā, kotahi inihi te toronga o ia waewae, e toru henimita te roa katoa. He iti ake ngā pūngāwerewere tāne, ā, he roa ake ō rātou waewae.
Ko tētahi atu huarahi hei wehewehe i a rāua ko te titiro ki ngā "kākā" o te toa: e rua ngā pūweru iti e toro atu ana i te upoko, ā, e whakamahia ana hei whāwhā i ngā mea.
He mahi nui tā ēnei kātene i roto i te moepuku. I mua i te kitenga i tētahi uwha, ka pēhia e te pūngāwerewere tāne tētahi pata parāoa ka ngongo ki roto i ia kātene. Ahakoa ehara i te mea aroha, he tino whaihua. Ko ngā pūngāwerewere uwha te mea roa rawa atu te ora—e rua tau neke atu rānei—engari he maha tonu te wā ka huna rātou i roto i ō rātou tukutuku, e kitea ana i ngā kokonga pōuri o ngā karāti, o ngā whare pupuri taonga rānei, ahakoa ka puta mai anō hoki i roto i tō whare.
Haunga ngā pūngāwerewere whare, tera pea ka tūtaki koe ki ngā pūngāwerewere waewae roa, e tapaina ana i te mea he rite ki ngā namu waewae roa (ngā pekepeke rānei), he pepeke noa hoki i te ngahuru.
E ai ki ngā kainoho o ētahi rohe raki, e kite ana rātou i ngā pūngāwerewere tae atu ki te 7.5 henimita te roa e ngokingoki ana ki roto i ō rātou kāinga.
Ahakoa e kiia ana ko tēnei pūngāwerewere te mea tino whakamate rawa atu o ngā mea hanga katoa o Peretānia, he waimarie, he iti rawa ōna waha hei wero i te kiri tangata. Pērā i te maha atu o ngā "meka" e kīia nei mō ngā pūngāwerewere, ko te kereme he morearea rātou ki te tangata he pakiwaitara noa iho nō te tāone. He pono, ka taea e tēnei pūngāwerewere ahua pakarukaru te patu i ngā kai nui ake (tae atu ki ngā pūngāwerewere whare) me tana paitini, engari kāore he take e manukanuka ai.
I kawea mai ngā pūngāwerewere waewae roa ki te UK mai i Ūropi i te tīmatanga o te rautau 20, ā, mai i taua wā kua horapa puta noa i te raki o Ingarangi, i Wales me Kōtirana, ko te nuinga mā te eke ki runga i ngā tāonga i roto i ngā waka tuku taonga.
I ngā tau i muri i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, ka haereerea te motu e te tohunga pūngāwerewere a Bill Bristol, e tirotiro ana i ngā rūma manuhiri, e ako ana hoki i te wāhi e noho ai te pūngāwerewere.
Ka taea e koe te whakatau mēnā kua noho tētahi pūngāwerewere ki tō whare mā te titiro ki ngā kokonga o te tuanui, inā koa i roto i ngā rūma hauhautanga pērā i te kaukau. Mēnā ka kite koe i tētahi tukutuku angiangi, rere me tētahi pūngāwerewere i roto, ka taea e koe te wero mārire ki tētahi pene—ka tere te nekeneke o te pūngāwerewere i tōna tinana katoa, ka whakamahia e ia hei karo i ngā kaipahua me te whakapoauau i ngā taonga.
Ahakoa te āhua ngaro o tēnei pūngāwerewere, mā ōna waewae roa ka taea e ia te ruaki i te kupenga piri me te kapo i tetahi taonga e mānu ana.
He mea noa tēnei pepeke i te tonga o Ingarangi i ēnei rā, ā, he tino mamae tana ngau – he rite ki te ngau a te pī – engari pērā i te nuinga o ngā ngārara, ehara i te mea nanakia; me whakaohokia kia taea ai te whakaeke.
Engari koinei te mea kino rawa atu i taea e rātou te mahi. Waimarie, ko ngā pūrongo mō ngā ope pungawerewere whakamate e whakaeke ana i te hunga e hāereere ana he kōrero pakiwaitara noa iho.
Me whakatenatena i ngā pūngāwerewere: he ataahua rātou, he āwhina ki te patu i ngā pepeke, ā, he nui ake te wā e noho tahi ana me tātou i tō whakaaro.
E whakaae ana ahau ki tāna. Engari kaua e kōrero ki taku wahine kei te karanga ahau i ngā pungawerewere ki roto i te whare, ki te kore ka raru nui ahau.
Engari, ina tukuna te pūngāwerewere, kāore e taea te whakarerekē i te rere o te hau – me rūrū noa i waho o te taputapu, ehara i te mea ngāwari.
He paipa korehau tēnei e whakakahangia ana e te pākahiko 9-volt. He tika te roa mō te pupuri i te pūngāwerewere i te roa o te ringa, engari ki ahau he iti te whānui. I whakamātau ahau ki tētahi pūngāwerewere rahi-waenga i piki i te pakitara, ā, i huna i muri i tētahi anga pikitia. Ahakoa kāore i tino kaha te momi, mā te pēhi noa i te paipa ki te mata o te pūngāwerewere ka nui hei kukume i a ia ki waho, me te kore e whara.
Engari, ina tukuna te pūngāwerewere, kāore e taea te whakarerekē i te ahunga o te rere o te hau—engari, me rūrū e koe i waho i te taputapu, ehara tēnei i te mahi tere.
He rite tonu te kaupapa mahi ki te hipoki i tētahi kāri kāri ki te karāhe, engari mā te kakau 24-inihi e tiaki aua pepeke whakarihariha kei taea e rātou te toro atu.
He māmā noa te hopu i te pūngāwerewere i runga i te papa. Taupokina noa te pūngāwerewere ki te taupoki kirihou mārama, ka nekehia te tatau o raro ki raro. Kāore te taupoki kirihou angiangi e whara i ngā waewae o te pūngāwerewere ina kati. Heoi, kia maumahara he pakarukaru te tatau, ā, i ētahi wā kāore e mau tonu te raka, nō reira ka ngana pea te pūngāwerewere ki te mawhiti.
He whai hua tēnei tikanga mēnā kāore te pūngāwerewere e nekeneke; ki te kore, tera pea ka tapahia e koe ōna waewae, ka kuru rānei.
He taputapu pakari, iti tēnei e taea ai te hopu i ngā ngārara iti ki te rahi waenga. He pai te mahi mēnā kāore te pūngāwerewere i te tino kaha, ki te kore ka tapahia pea ōna waewae, ka kuru rānei. Kia mau te pūngāwerewere, ka ngāwari te hiki i te tatau kirihou matomato, ka mau te pūngāwerewere ki roto kia tukuna haumaru ai.
He rite tēnei mahanga pepeke ki tētahi pū rakau tawhito, ā, he pūnaha momi anō hoki. Kei roto he rama rama LED hei āwhina i a koe ki te kimi me te hopu i ēnei mea ririki i ngā kokonga pōuri. E rua ngā pākahiko AA e whakamahia ana, ā, ahakoa kāore i te tino kaha te momi, i angitu te kukume i tētahi pungawerewere rahi-waenga i roto i taku rūma kakahu. He tikanga raka kei roto i te mahanga hei ārai i ngā pepeke kei mawhiti. Heoi, i te mea he 1.5 inihi noa iho te whānui o te ngongo, kei te āwangawanga ahau kei kore e uru ngā pungawerewere nunui ki roto.
Kei roto i tēnei hua ngā patu pepeke permethrin me te tetrafluoroethylene, e patu ana i ngā pungawerewere me ētahi atu pepeke, tae atu ki ngā pī. Ka taea te whakamahi i roto, i waho hoki, ā, kāore he toenga, he toenga piri, he haunga rānei e toe ana, engari kāore tonu au e kaha ki te patu i ngā pungawerewere kinokore.
Kia mau te pepeke, me "tukituki". Ki ahau he whai hua tēnei tikanga, engari kāore au i te pai ki tēnei.
E toru ngā mahanga pepeke o tēnei mahanga kaata piri e takai ana hei "whare" tapatoru iti hei hopu i ngā pungawerewere me ngā pōpokorua, ngā kutu rakau, ngā pepeke, ngā pepeke ngokingoki me ētahi atu pepeke ngokingoki. Kāore he paitini o ēnei mahanga, ā, he haumaru hoki mō ngā tamariki me ngā mōkai. Heoi, i whakamahia e au taku mō te wiki katoa, ā, kāore i mau i ahau tētahi pepeke.
Nā, he aha ētahi huarahi taiao hei peia atu i ngā pūngāwerewere i roto i te whare? E kiia ana ka peia e ngā pūngāwerewere ngā tāne hōiho e whakatakotoria ana ki runga i te matapihi. Kua kite kē ngā kaihoko eBay hihiko i tēnei: ka taea e ngā tāne hōiho te utu tae atu ki te £20 te kirokaramu.
