£180 first room, £60 each after. But we will say this first: most people who ring us about spiders do not need us, and we would rather tell you than take the money.
£180 for the first room and £60 for each additional room. Four rooms £360.
Most spider enquiries do not need a treatment. A seasonal increase in house spiders in September and October is normal, harmless, and over within weeks. If that is what you have, we will say so.
| Rooms | Calculation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 room | £180 | £180 |
| 2 rooms | £180 + £60 | £240 |
| 3 rooms | £180 + (2 × £60) | £300 |
| 4 rooms | £180 + (3 × £60) | £360 |
We publish this price because people search for it. We are not going to pretend everyone who finds it needs the treatment.
Every autumn, male house spiders leave their webs and wander looking for females. They walk across floors, get stuck in baths, and appear in rooms where you have never seen one. Nothing has gone wrong. It happens every year, it peaks in September and October, and it stops.
If you are ringing in early October because you have seen four large spiders in a fortnight, you almost certainly need nothing at all.
Spiders eat insects. A lot of spiders in one part of a property usually means a lot of insects in that part of the property.
Worth thinking about, because reducing the insects reduces the spiders permanently and often costs nothing.

The false widow gets the newspaper coverage. It can bite if handled or trapped against skin, and a bite is typically comparable to a wasp sting. Reactions vary, as they do with stings, and anyone with an unusual reaction should see a doctor. But the newspaper version of the false widow is not the real one.
We say this because fear rather than damage is what drives most spider enquiries, and accurate information is worth more than a treatment.
Spiders are less susceptible to residual insecticide than many insects — they walk on the tips of their legs and pick up less contact. Anyone promising total elimination is overselling. Reduction is realistic.
Upper-floor flats generally have fewer spiders than houses — fewer ground-level entry routes and less connection to a garden. If you are on an upper floor with a genuine spider problem, look at where they are getting in: a riser, a communal corridor, a balcony, or a window that stays open near external lighting.
No. It is folklore, and it has been tested.
No. No credible evidence against spiders or anything else.
Fill gaps around pipes and frames, reduce external lighting near windows, clear webbing regularly, and deal with any insect source.
Wasps are the other autumn caller — and a nest is £90 fixed cost in Wealdstone, guaranteed.
£180 for the first room and £60 for each additional. Four rooms £360.
Usually not. A seasonal increase in September and October is normal and passes within weeks.
Genuine phobia, persistent webbing in a garage or communal area, a commercial property, a long-empty property, or false widows in numbers.

Yes. Spiders eat insects, so a lot of spiders in one area usually means a lot of insects there.
No. Neither has any credible evidence behind it.
No, and anyone promising that is overselling. Reduction is realistic.
