There are more than 35,000 species of spiders worldwide, but approximately only 650 of these are found in the UK.
Although they are mostly beneficial to our environment, many people do have an inherent fear of spiders, known as Arachnophobia. This causes feelings of uneasiness at the mere sight of spiders, which in it’s extreme can lead to excessive sweating, crying and panic attacks.
Thankfully, most species of spiders found in the UK are not considered dangerous and are not pests. The few that may bite very rarely do. If bitten by a spider, it often has very little effect on most people, while a few species can cause an exceptional reaction due to their venom. Spiders can be a nuisance in the home in large numbers. They are attracted to warm, dark small places, like wall cracks, corners, air vents and in the eaves of your home.
Other species prefer to stay outdoors, weaving their webs in your garden or near your outside lighting. For many, the main nuisance is their webbing.
Spider Control Service
Easily recognisable by their eight legs, some people happily accept the presence of spiders whilst others cannot bear the thought of them.
Professional false widow spider control is important for a large or repeat infestation. Our inspection and monitoring service is aimed at identifying specific spider species (native false widows), and if they may be an issue to your business and confirming those which are harmless. Our BPCA certified technicians have expert knowledge about spider species. We can offer advice on how to spot the early signs of an infestation, to enable quick and effective targeted treatment if necessary.
Spiders
Since 1990 we have seen an increasing demand for spider control suggesting a continuing increase in spider infestations in the UK and Ireland. Spiders such as the False widow and Brazilian wandering spider non native to the UK have seen an increase which can largely be attributed to increased trade from imports.
Pest Bait regularly deals with spider infestations, whether it be native species or foreign, we have dealt with spider problems for major supermarkets such as ASDA and Tesco and our specialist team is ready and able to deal with your problem, no matter how big or small it may be.
Do you have a spider infestation?
Most spider infestations occur during the autumn and winter months, when it is too cold for them to nest outside – this is also when adult spiders are fully grown and easier to spot.
Although UK spiders are mostly harmless, they can still be stressful and disruptive. If you see spiders regularly around your home or place of work, it is likely that they are nesting in spaces such as loft space or cavity walls.
The most telling sign that you have a spider infestation in a building is the presence of a web (or multiple webs). Make sure that you clear away webs regularly, both to deter spider activity and so you can see when new webs have been made. One or two webs don’t necessarily suggest an infestation, but if you see lots of webs, then you should contact us to check for any spiders.
