This easy trick should deter both spiders and their prey from coming into your homes this autumn.
While full-blown arachnophobia is only thought to affect around six percent of Brits, a mild fear or general dislike of spiders is very common. However severe your dislike of spiders is though, it is arguably coming up to the worst time of the year for you.
Adding to this is the fact that a number of particularly big spiders are set to become a more common sight in the UK. Recently the RSPB recently reported that the UK’s largest breed of spiders - fen raft spiders - which can grow to the size of rats and hunt fish, are making a comeback in Britain. According to experts one simple way is to keep your lighting to a minimum. Pest UK explains: “Keep the lights down – Just like moths, spiders are drawn to light, so turn outside lights off when you’re not using them and keep doors and windows closed or blinds shut when the lights are on inside.”
Parkway Pest Services says: “Just like a bear that is attracted to a flowing river filled with jumping fish, spiders are attracted to bright lights, surrounded by flying insects. Any place that is near an insect-attracting light is prime real estate for spiders.”
