Spider Control in Islington: what we see locally
House spiders come indoors in late summer and autumn, and Islington's period houses, with their sash windows, cellars and lightwells, give them plenty of places to hide.
False widow spiders are increasingly common in north London. They web around window frames, balconies, garden walls and fences. We treat inside and outside the property.
Basement and garden flats in Highbury, Canonbury and Tufnell Park tend to see the most house spiders, which wander in from lightwells and back gardens. On upper floors, false widows like the sheltered corners of window boxes and balcony railings.
