Spider Control
Most UK spiders are harmless, but large infestations or the presence of false widow spiders can be a genuine concern. We treat spider problems in homes and commercial premises across Leicester and the Midlands — eliminating existing populations and preventing re-entry.
What's Involved
Survey
We inspect the property to identify the species, locate nesting areas, and assess entry points. particularly around windows, doors, and roof eaves.
Treatment
We apply a residual insecticide to affected areas including corners, window frames, loft spaces, and wall edges. This kills existing spiders and deters new ones from settling.
Proofing advice
We advise on sealing gaps and reducing the insects that attract spiders in the first place. removing their food source is the best long-term deterrent.
