Why Rentokil
As with most pests, the best way to control spiders is to limit their food source. This includes clearing away any dead flies, or any other small, crawling insects. Here are my five top tips to make your home as unwelcome as possible to our eight legged friends:
False Widow Spiders have brown bulbous abdomens with pale markings, and the females can grow up to 15mm. The spiders will only bite humans if they are accidentally provoked or squeezed. Their bites usually only cause a temporary pain (of similar intensity to a wasp sting) and swelling.
The false widow spider was accidentally imported to the UK about 150 years ago and they are adapting to our temperate climate, with increased sightings across the country. Rentokil Pest Control does offer a False Widow Spider removal service, where human health and safety is paramount.
