Usually a reclusive species, these amorous arachnids will stray from their nooks and crannies in search of a mate.
Spider season usually begins in the first two weeks of September and ends at the beginning of October.
The type of spider that comes into our homes at this time of year is the house spider - one of Britainâs biggest spiders.
Usually a reclusive species, these amorous arachnids will stray from their nooks and crannies in search of a mate.
Spider season usually begins in the first two weeks of September and ends at the beginning of October.
The males are up to 10cm across the leg span and can be the size of your hand - that is the top range but it can be two thirds of that size. The size is down to how much they have eaten.
Itâs usually the males youâll see scuttling across your floors and walls as they attempt to court female spiders.
Males can be distinguished from females by their sex organs which resemble a tiny pair of boxing gloves.
Although attracted to our homes because of warmth and dryness, you can banish these beasties by spraying natural repellents such as eucalyptus and tea-tree oil around doors and windows. Sprigs of Mint can also be effective.

Thousands of sex-starved spiders âthe size of your handâ are set to enter homes across Britain as mating season begins.Usually a reclusive species, these amorous arachnids will stray from their nooks and crannies in search of a mate.

Yes, I always reckon September is the time when I see most spiders around the houseâĶ.that explains why .
Whatâs this? Beyond your front door, a new season appears to have started without your say-so.
Autumn has come at us hard this year, launching a sustained attack while we were clinging to rumours of an Indian summer. False rumours, it transpires. As is most often the case, the internet has helpfully invented a term for the betwixt and between kind of feeling that marks the transition from one season to the next: âearly autumnâ is too big a mouthful these days, so now instead we have âSortumnâ.
Defined by one Instagrammer as âthat time of year when youâre torn between the desire for one last BBQ and the oncoming temptation of chunky knitwear seasonâ, Sortumn is what you see all around you right now.
Itâs the grey sky that hangs over the patio furniture you expected to drink G&Ts on for at least a couple more weeks. Itâs not knowing whether to book one last weekend getaway, or starting to save for Christmas. Theyâre calling it a fifth season. It could be the eliding of summer and autumn, or it could mean âsort-of autumnâ. Thatâs its beauty. The point is youâre meant to feel confused.
So if you find yourself hovering in that liminal space between summer hedonism and autumn heaviness, welcome to Sortumn. Itâs not all in your head; itâs as real as the dent the summer has made in your bank balance.
I'd never heard of it
