How to spot them

Signs of a spider problem

  • Webs building up in corners, eaves, garages and outbuildings
  • Round silk egg sacs tucked into sheltered, undisturbed spots
  • Frequent sightings on warm autumn evenings as males roam
  • Shed skins and the remains of prey in quiet corners
Why it matters

The risks of leaving spiders untreated

  • False widow bites can cause a painful, sometimes swollen reaction
  • Genuine distress and disruption for anyone with a spider phobia
  • Unsightly webbing that lets down hospitality and retail premises
Our approach

How we treat spiders

01

Identify the species and assess whether treatment is genuinely warranted

02

Apply a residual barrier to entry points, skirting, eaves and outbuildings

03

Remove webs and egg sacs from the treated areas

04

Advise on cutting back the insect prey that draws spiders in

Keep them away

Preventing spiders coming back

  • Seal gaps around doors, windows and air bricks
  • Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts the insects spiders feed on
  • Clear webs, clutter and log piles from close to the building

When you will see them

Sightings peak sharply in early autumn, through September and October, when mature males leave their webs and roam indoors looking for a mate.

Guaranteed treatment

We treat the source and proof the entry points, then follow up to make sure the problem stays solved.
