Spider season: Can natural spices help keep spiders away?
September and October are peak months for spiders in the home - otherwise known as ‘spider season’ by pest controllers.
These small creatures can send shivers down the spine of some people - particularly those with arachnophobia. Around five percent of the global population have a clinical diagnosis of arachnophobia and surveys in the UK suggest that 35 to 50% of the population, particularly women, report some level of fear when dealing with spiders.
