US EditionSpiders Are Enticed Inside in September by 1 Thing Most Households Will Have
Male spiders actively search indoors for stationary females during the UK autumn mating season, which lasts from early September to mid-October, increasing their presence in homes.
- Spiders begin to venture indoors in early September as autumn starts, marking the start of their mating season when males search for females inside homes.
- This invasion happens because spiders seek food sources like insects attracted by crumbs and shelter in warm, dry indoor environments rather than heat itself.
- Types such as money, cellar, lace web, and house spiders increase in sightings through October, with females mostly stationary and males constantly moving indoors to find partners.
- Experts suggest vacuuming crumbs, sealing entry points, and applying repellents like peppermint oil—which spiders find disruptive but harmless—can reduce indoor spider presence effectively.
- This seasonal behavior implies households should prepare for increased spider activity during autumn, with underfloor heating reported to lessen sightings by creating uncomfortable ground-level conditions.
