To help you keep spiders away from your garden, the experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have shared six tips to help you avoid them.
Spiders tend to become more active in autumn and they like to move indoors as well as create webs in gardens as they prepare for winter.
The drop in temperature signals that winter is approaching and not just us humans who notice it – the change prompts spiders to prepare for survival by securing food sources and safe locations.
It’s during this time that male spiders often leave their outdoor webs to search for mates while female spiders may start seeking sheltered spots to lay eggs.
This increased activity often leads spiders to venture indoors in search of warmth and safety or to build webs in more protected areas of gardens like sheds, greenhouses and under leaves, the experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk explain.
Spiders can build unsightly webs around patios, doorways and plants, making garden areas look messy and if you’ve got arachnophobia, spiders in the garden is a no-no.
