Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Infestations

Why do spiders come into my house?

Just like every animal, spiders also need shelter. They come into your home looking for it and if there’s food, you can bet they will stay and make your home theirs as well. They enjoy secluded spots where they are unbothered. That’s why they can be found in attics or basements, or at the corner of your ceiling, or in the garden shed. Any place that doesn’t have high traffic.

What do spiders eat in my house?

They feed on smaller insects. Any moth or fly that becomes tangled into their web is eaten by the spider. If you notice bugs in your home, you should call professional pest exterminators to inspect it right away. Otherwise, you risk getting more than one type of pest in your home.

False widow spider and other species are known to bite people in the UK.

I would have been nice if the world worked in a way that if you once get bed bugs and get rid of them they never reappear, but it doesn't. I've had to call for bed bug treatment two times in the last five years and have trusted Panther Pest Control both times. They get the job done without any hassle, plus the prices are budget-friendly. I hope I never have to use them again, but totally recommend them to people in need of adequate pest control treatment in the London area.

Rang the phone, got a quote and booked right away. In two days the flat was already treated for bed bugs and a second visit was scheduled. Quick and professional guys! Loved using Panther Pest Control and strongly recommend them. The price was ok, the exterminators were thorough and gave me some advice. Hopefully I won't have to use them again though.

We’ve never had this many squirrels in the yard before. Maybe one or two have been spotted the previous spring but this year the population has increased a lot! We are afraid of disease transmission and I had to call the exterminators. I’m glad no squirrel were killed. Instead, they were safely trapped and removed from the property.

Elise Kirk
When my husband and I returned from the holiday in Eastern Europe everything was fine until our bodies got covered in red itchy marks. There were bed bugs all over the apartment. Luckily, the company had a free slot for bed bug treatment on the very same day. We had to spend the night on the bed to lure the bed bugs out and they were fully exterminated by the pesticide.

Sophie Cross
The nest in the backyard turned out to be made by wasps not bees, which made us call professional pest technicians to deal with it. They carefully removed it and no one was hurt during or after the treatment. Very good job.

Facts About Spiders

If you have a spider infestation on your hands, it’s likely because of your home’s high levels of humidity.
Common female house spiders usually deposit about 250 eggs in a single sack of silk, which has a flask-like shape and is brown in colour. A single female spider can produce roughly 17 such sacs during her lifespan, bringing the total egg count to more than 4,000, of which only 1% survive and actually hatch.
False widow spiders arrived in the UK in 1879 from their native Canary islands. They have brown bulbous abdomen and cream markings which sometimes look like a skull.
False widow spiders are the most venomous spiders in the UK. Their bite can cause symptoms similar to the ones from a bee or a wasp sting.
Spiders eat more insects than birds and bats combined. They have a very important role for the ecosystem, as they’re pollinators, natural pest controllers and recyclers of dead animals and plants.
Spiders spin silk but not all of them make webs. Moreover they don’t spin new silk threads every time. They recycle their old threads by eating them.

Spider Species And Appearance

When it comes to spiders, there’s an abundance of diversity: 109 families and over 40, 000 species of eight-legged crawling freaks. At least spider scientists are never bored. And there are a lot of spiders which find man-made structure quite homey. The brown recluse, the wolf spider, the harvestman and the yellow sac are such spiders.

The harvestman is the most avid fan of household living. It has long legs and a small body. It is probably the skinniest spider in existence. If Vogue magazine had a spider issue, the harvestman will always be on the cover. If Spider-man was scientifically accurate, he would have two pairs of hands and two pairs of legs. His skin would be fuzzy because spiders are quite hairy and he would have a freakish number of eyes.
Other household spider species include False Widow Spider (Steatoda nobilis), Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica), Domestic House Spider, (Tegenaria domestica), Daddy Long Legs Spider (Pholcidae), Cupboard Spider (Steatoda grossa)

Why are there so many spiders in my house?

So they can enter our bodies while we sleep, of course. You’ve probably heard the ridiculous myth that people ingest at least eight spiders in their lifetime while they sleep. Unless your face is covered with flies, a spider has no job near your mouth. The eight-legged critters enter households because they seek shelter for the winter. When they sense the weather changes, they would look for a hospitable place where they can survive the cold months of the year. Most spiders are predatory and feed on insects. Which makes them kind of cool.

The Danger For Your Home and Health

One of the most frequently asked questions is “Are spiders dangerous to people?” Why do spiders come inside your house? Even though spiders are pretty cool and eat nasty insects, they present some danger to humans. For instance, the American house spider (which is common for North America) is venomous, and even though the bite is not lethal, it might cause an allergic reaction.
On the other hand, if a black widow bites you, then you should seek medical help immediately – its bite is quite toxic.
The same goes for the brown recluse spider.

Giant House Spider– The spider would prefer to run away and hide from you rather than bite. Its venom is harmless to people and pets.
Domestic House Spider (Tegenaria domestica) is not aggressive towards people. Yet, they might bite you, but you won’t feel a thing.
Pholcidae, also known as cellar spiders or Daddy Long Legs can’t even penetrate your skin when trying to bite you.
Steatoda grossa, the Cupboard spider’s venom has certain effect on your physical condition. Yet, there are no severe consequences or danger to your life.

When Do Spiders Bite?

Keep in mind no spider will crawl to your bed and bite you in your sleep – spiders bite only when they are in danger. Another nuisance caused by domestic spiders is webs – one more cleaning duty in your to-do-list.
