Spider Control in Croydon: what we see locally
House spiders come indoors in late summer and autumn, and Croydon homes with gardens, sheds and garages see plenty of them. Homes near woodland in Shirley, Selsdon and Kenley often see the most.
False widow spiders are increasingly common in south London, building webs around window frames, conservatories and garden furniture. We treat inside and outside the property.
In the north of the borough, house spiders are common in the Victorian terraces of Thornton Heath, Norbury and Selhurst, often coming in through gaps around old sash windows and back doors. False widows are increasingly reported around conservatories and garden fences in the leafy southern suburbs.
