Spiders may do their bit by helping control pests like flies, but if you’re dealing with a spider infestation in your home or business, you probably want them gone. Whether you’re facing a handful of house spiders or an invasion of the eight-legged critters, PEST-SHIELD has the spider control solutions you need in Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, and surrounding areas.
Spiders typically venture inside as the weather cools, seeking warmth and shelter. Autumn and early winter mark the peak of the spider season, as shorter days and rainy weather drive them indoors. If you’ve noticed a few more webs than usual, it could be time to take action before they make themselves comfortable in your living room!
To make sure our treatment is as effective as possible, here’s what you can do to prepare:
Clean the Affected Areas: Wipe down window frames, sills, and the areas around the windows, as well as wall-floor and wall-ceiling junctions. Dust and dirt can prevent treatment from working effectively.
Clear the Space: Remove furniture, décor, and anything that could obstruct our technician from treating the problem areas.
Outdoor Prep: Trim back creepers and vegetation near your home’s exterior. These spots are prime real estate for spiders looking for shelter.
Once we’ve treated your home, it’s important to follow these aftercare tips to make sure the treatment remains effective:
✅ Let the Treatment Dry: Avoid cleaning or wiping the treated areas until the spray is completely dry. This ensures the insecticide has had time to do its job.
✅ Don’t Touch Treated Surfaces: Keep pets and children away from treated areas until dry. If you accidentally come into contact with the insecticide, wash it off immediately.
✅ Reduce Humidity: Increase ventilation by opening windows and use heat to help the treatment work more effectively.
✅ No Vacuuming for Two Weeks: Allow the insecticide to remain undisturbed for at least two weeks. This ensures it continues to protect against spiders.
At PEST-SHIELD, we use residual insecticides that remain effective for up to 3 months. Our technician will apply the insecticide to key areas inside and outside your property, including:
Windows & Doors: Around frames, sills, and junctions of walls and ceilings.
Wall/Floor Junctions: Key spider hotspots.
Ceiling/Walls: Areas that are prone to spider activity.
Spiders will walk across the treated surfaces and absorb the insecticide, which then kills them. It’s an effective and long-lasting solution for getting rid of spiders and preventing future infestations!
Spiders Aren’t Insects: They belong to the Arachnida class, which makes them distinct from insects.
They Lay Eggs: Spiders lay eggs that hatch into small spiders, growing through several molts before reaching adulthood.
Webs & Hunting: All spiders can spin webs, although some species (like Hunting Spiders) prefer to stalk their prey without them.
Venomous: While most UK spiders can’t harm humans, they do use venom to subdue their prey. Don’t worry, though, only a few species have venom that could cause harm to humans.
False Widow Spiders (specifically Steatoda Nobilis) have been making headlines in the UK. Known as the “British Black Widow,” they are about the size of a 50-pence piece and can be identified by their bulbous brown abdomen with cream markings that resemble a skull. While their bites can be painful, they are very rarely dangerous, and reactions vary from person to person.
False Widow Spiders are thought to have arrived in the UK over 100 years ago, likely stowing away in a crate of bananas from the Canary Islands. They’ve adapted well to UK conditions and are often found in homes and buildings.
