October is known as mating season, and spiders may come into your home to keep out of the colder weather
September and October are typically known as spider season, so you may find plenty of them scurrying' into your home over the next few weeks. The main reason they come into homes during these months is so they get out of the cold as the seasons change.
Mike Norton, Trade and Projects director at Magnet Trade said: "Like all species, spiders need water and moisture to survive. From sinks and dishwashers to the warmth given off by appliances, it's the kitchen and bathroom that create the perfect moist environment to draw them in. Although they are mostly harmless, we don't want crawlers contaminating our food or creeping up on us in the bathroom.
What's more, it works out cheaper than buying pre-made sprays from the shops, with one single lemon costing around 14p. Mike also offered some advice to prepare for spider season, and prevent them from getting into your home ahead of time.
