Please try again later{{ /verifyErrors }} You’re likely to be seeing many more spiders around your home at the moment – and while some people marvel at the beauty of their webs, others shudder at the sight of the creatures and desperately try to get rid of them. For non-arachnophobes, it’s hard to understand why so many people can’t stand spiders. They are tiny (even large British house spiders have a leg span of up to just 6-7cm) and very unlikely to harm you. Spider expert and enthusiast Dr Geoff Oxford honorary secretary of The British Arachnological Society (britishspiders.org.uk), explains that just a dozen or so out of Britain’s 670 spider species have jaws powerful enough to break human skin and, potentially, inject venom. But he stresses they’re not aggressive to humans, and will only attempt to bite as a last resort – and even then, most authenticated spider bites produce little or no reaction. Oxford says the reason we’re seeing more spiders in our homes at the moment is because autumn is when they reach maturity and come out from their hiding places, behind furniture and in cracks and crevices, to search for a mate. For him, this is a good thing and spiders are invaluable – not least because they perform the vital task of eating hordes of creepy-crawlies that you don’t want in your house. “Spiders do a great job as a natural insecticide, and provide food for numerous other organisms – mammals, reptiles, amphibians, predatory insects and birds,” enthuses Oxford. “Their venom is increasingly being investigated as a source of natural insecticides, and their silk can be used in medicine, for example as the scaffolding for artificial joints. The sheer aesthetic beauty of spiders themselves, and their webs, goes without saying.” Still unconvinced? For those who dislike or fear spiders there are many theories on how to persuade them to leave your house – and it’s certainly not by squashing them because that’s just cruel and unnecessary. Kinder theories are often centred around spiders avoiding certain smells, particularly citrus. But do they work? We asked bathroom design expert George Holland from Victorian Plumbing (victorianplumbing.co.uk) and Oxford for their (often contrasting) thoughts on how to gently encourage spiders to scuttle off elsewhere. Here is what we discovered.

Learn More »Holland says the key natural ingredient for keeping spiders out of your bathroom and home is citrus, and points out that while supermarkets can charge anywhere from £4 to £11 for ready-made spider repellent, it’s much cheaper and easier to make your own, by mixing about 20 drops of juice from a citrus fruit like lemon or lime, or essential oils like tea tree, lavender, peppermint or cinnamon, with water in a spray bottle. Then spray corners of your bathroom or any moist areas that are likely to attract spiders, he advises. “Taking two minutes to make your own spray using a citrus fruit such as lemon is cheaper, efficient, and it makes your bathroom smell amazing,” Holland says. But Oxford says there’s no proof this will work. “Nothing wrong with doing this, but there’s absolutely no evidence that this or any other ‘remedy’ e.g. extract of conkers, will repel spiders.”

Read More »Holland says spiders hide in corners and small spaces because they don’t like to be in the open, so keeping your home uncluttered and clean can help keep spiders away. “Keeping rooms organised and clean will reduce the chance of a spider putting up a web, and cleaning will remove the dust and small insects and food particles that attract the spiders inside,” he says. However, Oxford argues that while having a bare, uncluttered house will certainly reduce the number of niches spiders can occupy, there’s nothing to suggest they deliberately come into homes, and he points out they eat living prey rather than food particles. “There’s no evidence that dust or food particles serve to attract spiders inside,” he says.
