– PEST CONTROL SERVICES –
Large spiders running across the living room floor every autumn, webs in every corner, false widows around the front door where the children play. Most UK spiders are harmless and even useful, but sometimes there are simply too many, or they’re in the wrong place. Wiltshire Pest Services Ltd provides professional spider pest control for homes and businesses across Wiltshire and into the borders of Somerset, Dorset and Hampshire. Call us on 07711 259749 or use the form on this page and we’ll give you honest advice on what needs doing.
– LOVED BY HOMEOWNERS & BUSINESSES –
Webs building up quickly in ceiling corners, window frames, lofts, garages and sheds, even soon after cleaning.
From late August to October, male house spiders wander indoors looking for a mate. Seeing a few is normal; seeing many every evening can point to an established population.
Small, round, silky egg sacs in corners, behind furniture and in quiet spaces mean more spiders on the way.
Dark, round-bodied spiders with cream markings in untidy webs around window frames, door frames, conservatories, sheds and garden furniture.
Spiders go where the food is. Lots of spiders can mean lots of flies or other insects, which may be the real problem.
Large, fast, brown spiders that build sheet webs in corners, lofts and behind furniture. They’re harmless, and most noticeable in autumn when the males are on the move.
The noble false widow is dark brown with a bulbous, glossy body and cream markings. It isn’t aggressive, but it can bite if trapped against skin. Bites are rare and usually cause pain and swelling similar to a wasp sting.
Thin-bodied spiders with very long, delicate legs, often hanging in ceiling corners. They’re harmless and eat other spiders.
For people with a fear of spiders, a house full of them in autumn can be genuinely distressing. Reducing the numbers makes a real difference.
False widow bites are rare, but many families want them cleared from doorways, play areas and garden furniture where people come into contact with them.
Webs and spiders in guest rooms, offices, warehouses and shops look neglected and can lead to complaints and bad reviews.
Sprays and repellents only affect the spiders they touch. Without dealing with egg sacs, hiding places and the insects they feed on, the numbers soon build back up.
Call us or use the form on this page. Tell us where you’re seeing spiders and what they look like, and send a photo if you can. If you call, we’ll take the details and send you a follow-up form through our booking system, then talk you through your options and what happens next.
We identify the species, including any false widows, find where they’re concentrated and look for the insects drawing them in. Commercial sites get a full professional survey before any treatment plan is agreed.
We plan the treatment around the problem areas, the type of property and who uses it, including children and pets. We explain what we’re doing and why, and what to expect afterwards.
Once numbers are down, our proofing service can seal gaps around doors, windows and vents, and fly screens help keep out the insects spiders feed on. If flies are the underlying problem, we’ll deal with those too.
Domestic customers get a follow-up to check everything has been resolved. For holiday lets, offices and warehouses, we offer seasonal service agreements ahead of the autumn spider season.
We price each job once we understand it. The main factors are the species, the areas to be treated inside and out, the size of the property and whether follow-up visits are needed. Get in touch for a clear quote.
Our team has over 30 years of combined experience, including BPCA-certified professionals and a Fellow of the RSPH. Every technician is qualified to at least Level 2.
High-end food manufacturers rely on us to meet BRC and AIB audit standards. We bring the same attention to detail to homes, holiday lets and offices.
Most spiders are harmless and useful. If a few house spiders in autumn are all you’ve got, we’ll tell you, and suggest simple steps instead of treatment.
We arrive in unmarked vehicles and keep the job low-key.
We look at why spiders are thriving, including the insects they feed on, so numbers stay down.
Fit brush strips to doors, repair window seals and fill gaps around pipes and vents, especially before autumn.
Clear clutter in garages, lofts and spare rooms, and vacuum webs and egg sacs from corners and behind furniture.
Outdoor lights near doors and windows attract insects at night, and spiders follow. Fewer insects means fewer spiders.
Almost never. Most UK house spiders can’t bite through human skin. False widows can, but bites are rare and usually no worse than a wasp sting.
From late August to October, male house spiders leave their webs to look for a mate, so they’re seen far more often. The numbers usually drop again by winter.
They’re not aggressive and bites are uncommon. A bite usually causes pain and swelling. Seek medical advice if the area becomes very swollen, hot or red, or you feel unwell.
A few spiders help by eating flies and other insects. It’s only when numbers get out of hand, or false widows are close to where people sit and play, that control makes sense.
Most already live inside, in lofts, garages, wall gaps and quiet corners. Others come in through open windows, doors and gaps, especially in autumn.
Home remedies and plug-in repellents have little proven effect. Sealing gaps, reducing insects and targeted treatment work far better.
It depends on the species, the areas to be treated and the size of the property. We give you a clear quote once we understand the problem.
