Written by people who would benefit from putting this line somewhere else. Most spider enquiries do not need treating.
Usually not. Most spider enquiries are the autumn spike, and it ends on its own within weeks.
It is worth it for genuine phobia, for webbing that keeps returning after clearance, for a garage or outbuilding with heavy persistent webbing, or for a commercial property. £180 first room, £60 each additional.
That is the majority of spider enquiries we get. Saying so costs us bookings and it is the accurate answer.

| Do | Then |
|---|---|
| Turn off or move the outside light near the door | Wait a fortnight |
| Clear every web you can reach, including the garage | Wait a fortnight |
| Fit brush strips to gappy doors | Wait a fortnight |
| Move bins away from the back door | Wait a fortnight |
| Still heavy webbing returning? | That is when to call |
If it is late September, add three weeks to that and see whether it simply stops.

Worth a note, because it changes the calculation.
Yes. It happens frequently on spider enquiries, particularly in October.
Often, especially if the webbing is concentrated in a garage or a single bedroom.
The residual stays active for a period. It is not permanent, and nothing honestly is.
One autumn job that always needs doing: a wasp nest. £90 fixed cost in Edgware, guaranteed.
Usually not. Most spider enquiries are the autumn spike, which ends on its own within weeks.
Genuine phobia, webbing that keeps returning after clearance, a garage or outbuilding with heavy persistent webbing, or a commercial property.
Yes. If it stops you using a room in your own home, that is a problem worth solving, and a single room is £180.
Turn off or move the outside light, clear every reachable web including the garage, fit brush strips to gappy doors, move the bins, then wait a fortnight.
No, and anyone promising that is overselling. Substantial reduction is realistic.
They walk on the tips of their legs and pick up less contact with a residual treatment.
Treatment on your side still works, but it will not hold if the source continues. Raising it is usually more effective than repeating the treatment.
