Spider Control: 5 frequently asked questions
Are false widow spiders dangerous?
Bites are rare and usually feel like a bee or wasp sting. If you're worried about false widows around your home, we can treat the areas where they're living.
Is spider treatment safe for pets and children?
Yes. We use approved products and will tell you how long to keep children and pets out of treated areas.
How long does spider treatment last?
The residual spray keeps working for several weeks, which is why it's best done before the autumn peak.
Why are there more spiders in autumn?
In September and October, male house spiders leave their hiding places to look for a mate, so you see many more of them.
How can I keep spiders out?
Seal gaps around windows, doors and pipes, fit draught excluders and reduce clutter. Fewer insects in your home also means less food for spiders.
