That is the majority of spider enquiries we get. Saying so costs us bookings and it is the accurate answer.

We will happily tell you a spider cannot hurt you. We are not going to pretend that solves the problem for someone who cannot walk into their own bedroom.
| 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.
