Spiders

Spiders are mostly harmless and act as natural pest controllers yet they can also cause discomfort or concerns for some residents and businesses.

Common spider types: Giant house spider, Garden spider, Daddy longlegs spider, Zebra spider.
Preferred conditions: Spiders flourish in congested and unfrequented corners, often found in garages, lofts, and basements. Many spider species relocate indoors in search of shelter and warmth throughout the autumn, and this is when you happen to see them more. Basements, attics, and undisturbed sections of the house become an ideal location to have their webs making their seasonal migration most visible and aesthetically unpleasant.
Prevalent regions: Maidstone, Ashford, Kent, Gillingham, Faversham, Thanet, Folkestone, Deal, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Dover, Chatham, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Sittingbourne.
Health risks: Many people experience stress and discomfort as a result of their arachnophobia (fear of spiders). Some residents are concerned about larger species, such as the gigantic house spider (Eratigena atrica) or the house spider (Tegenaria domestica). Some UK specific species, named the False widow spider (Steatoda nobilis), although rare, can bite people. These bites are mostly harmless, however, those with sensitivity may experience subtle pain, redness, or swelling.
Damage and challenges: Many spider species spin webs that can gather dust and debris, giving dwellings an unkempt appearance. Spider droppings can leave furniture, walls, and ceilings with ugly stains.

In the UK, spiders are mainly considered as natural pest controllers and typically have more beneficial effects on residential homes than negative ones. However, some residents may find their presence, webs, and droppings annoying or a cause of anxiety. Regular cleaning and maintenance of spider-prone spaces and closing access sites can help prevent them.
