How to get rid of spiders in the house

1. Book spider control service

The pest controller will inspect the property for spider infestations or identify the species present. Spider control requires only one visit, so once the exterminator assesses the severity of the infestation & the treatment will begin.

2. Spider control treatment

We recommend you and your family leave the property for a few hours, along with any pets you may have. To allow the chemicals to settle, the house should be empty for a few hours after treatment.

3. Monitoring

Two follow-up visits are included if you book with a three-month guarantee. After the second visit, the pest technician inspects the property again. A second spider treatment is applied if necessary.

4. Spider prevention

The pest technician will provide you with helpful tips on how to prevent future spider infestations. Peppermint oil, horse chestnuts, and white vinegar sprays can help reduce the risk of spider infestation.

Guaranteed spider control treatments

Spiders aren't usually considered pests. Even so, there are still many people who don't like the idea of creepy-crawlies invading their homes. Generally, the spiders you find hanging from your window aren't poisonous, but there are some types, like the false widow, that you shouldn't let into your house.

The UK is home to approximately 650 species of spiders. Insects and other prey in homes make spiders want to come inside homes. If the spider infestation is severe, we recommend putting the vacuum cleaner down and calling a spider control professional.
