Spiders are actually a valuable part of the eco-system and there are almost 35,000 different varieties throughout the world. They are remarkable creatures but some people do have a deep fear of them. Arachnophobia is a common problem and simply the sight of a spider scuttling across the bath or up the kitchen wall and paralyse some people with terror. The good news is that the majority of spiders found in the UK are not dangerous and, if you don’t like them in your home, they are easy to capture and put outside.

SPOTTING SPIDER INFESTATIONS

We all know the signs that a spider is in the home because we can see their webs. They’re often found running across walls or the carpet and they live in all sorts of spaces from ceilings and light fittings to cracks in the wall. In fairly rare circumstances, lots of spiders can appear at once after an egg sack has hatched and this certainly can be a nuisance, especially if you run a business.

The biggest problem with spiders is the fear factor that comes with them and it’s one of the main reasons we get called to carry out some pest control. For businesses, there’s an additional problem here if you have an infestation as it can frighten off customers. Spiders will often look to come indoors during the autumn when the weather is starting to get a little cooler. And if you live near a country area you might be liable to get more than those people who live in towns and cities.

DEALING WITH SPIDERS

If you have no problem with spiders, the best advice is to leave them alone. The general problem of webs appearing can easily be solved with a duster or vacuum, encouraging the spider to go elsewhere. While most species in the UK are harmless, there are a few that bite, including the false widow spider. If you’re a business accepting food and other products from abroad, there’s also nothing to stop a more serious member of the species hitching a lift to your warehouse or company premises. If you spot a spider and aren’t sure it’s indigenous, then calling out some professional help is a good idea. At All-Clear Pest Control, we can help monitor or diagnose any spider problem, whether you’re a business or home owner.
