Usually not. This is the one service where we talk more people out of booking than into it, and we would rather that than take money for a seasonal event.
For most households, no. UK house spiders are harmless, the autumn influx is seasonal and self-limiting, and weekly web removal does more than a spray.
Yes in specific cases — a genuine phobia, heavy long-standing webbing in a cellar or outbuilding, or a property being prepared for sale or a tenancy.
| Situation | Our answer |
|---|---|
| A few large spiders in September and October | Seasonal. It ends within weeks |
| One spider a week in the bath | Leave a flannel over the edge |
| Webs in the corners of a shed | Normal, and useful |
| Webs outside under the eaves | Normal |
| A single large spider that alarmed everyone | Catch and release outside |
| General dislike of spiders | Weekly web removal, free |
We would rather lose the booking than take £180 for something that stops by itself in three weeks.
£180 for the first room, £60 for each additional — though most enquiries need no treatment at all.
View Spider Control Pinner →| Approach | Cost | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly web and egg sac removal | £0 | The most effective single measure |
| Changing an outside light to motion-activated | £20–£40 | Reduces the prey, so reduces spiders |
| Draught-proofing sashes and doors | £30–£150 | Fewer routes in, lower heating bill |
| Supermarket spider spray | £5–£10 | Limited — long legs keep the body off treated surfaces |
| Conkers and ultrasonics | £0–£30 | No effect at all |
| Professional treatment, one room | £180 | Reduction, plus the removal and the advice |
We take this seriously and we do not treat it as trivial. Someone who cannot use a room, or who has stopped going into their own cellar, is not being unreasonable, and a treatment plus a thorough web and egg sac removal genuinely changes how a space feels. We will be straight about what it does and does not do, and we will spend time on the physical measures that keep it that way — because those are what carry the result past the residual.
If spider numbers have suddenly risen rather than being a steady background, the useful question is what they are eating. A jump in flies or moths — from a dead bird in a void, a drain fault, a bin, or a moth problem in the carpets — brings a jump in spiders. Treating the spiders leaves the cause; finding the insects fixes both, and is usually the cheaper job.
No. There is no honest case for one on a domestic property.
No. Garden spiders are beneficial and should be left.
We will tell you before we take payment. It happens regularly.
A job where the answer is always yes — wasp nest treatment, £90 fixed in Pinner, guaranteed for 30 days.
For most households, no. UK house spiders are harmless, the autumn influx is seasonal and self-limiting, and weekly web removal does more than a spray.
A genuine phobia, heavy long-standing webbing in a cellar or outbuilding, an empty property before a sale or tenancy, or a commercial presentation issue.
Immediate removal of webs, egg sacs and spiders, plus a residual that slows recolonisation for weeks. Reduction, not elimination.
No. Nothing does. They are wandering males from the garden and the pattern ends within weeks.
Weekly web and egg sac removal, inside and out.
No. There is no honest case for one on a domestic property.
Usually because insect numbers have. A dead bird in a void, a drain fault, or a moth problem brings a jump in prey — finding that is the cheaper job.
