Spider Control in City of London: what we see locally
House spiders come indoors in autumn, and false widow spiders are increasingly common in central London, often building webs around window frames, balconies, terraces and planters.
In the Barbican and other City homes with balconies, false widows are a regular call. We treat balconies, window frames and indoor hotspots to reduce spider numbers.
Inside, house spiders tend to gather in quiet storage areas, utility cupboards and basement rooms, particularly in older City buildings. Regular treatment of balconies and window frames in autumn keeps numbers down and reduces the number of webs on glass and railings.
