Professional Spider Control in Plumstead

What the Autumn Calls Actually Are

Mature male house spiders leave their webs in late summer and early autumn to look for females, which is why large spiders suddenly start crossing floors and getting stuck in baths. It lasts a few weeks. British house spiders are harmless, damage nothing, and eat a great many of the insects that would otherwise be in the room.

Where It Is Reasonable

Cellars, semi-basements, outbuildings and unused rooms in the older terraces support a much larger population, and persistent heavy webbing that returns quickly after clearing is a fair reason to treat. So is a genuine phobia that stops somebody using their own home, which we do not treat as a trivial reason.

Signs You May Need Spider Control in Plumstead

The full list is on the Spider Control Greenwich page.

• Persistent, heavy webbing throughout a property that returns quickly after being cleared - typically in a large or partly unused building.
• Commercial premises where webbing is a presentation or hygiene issue. Warehousing, storage, food premises, hospitality frontage and similar.
• Noble false widow concern where the identification has been confirmed and there is a persistent population in a living area.

How We Deal With Spiders in Plumstead

Where treatment is warranted, webs and egg sacs are removed first and a residual treatment goes to harbourage points - cellar structure, frame edges, ceiling junctions and external entry points.
