Spiders are once again making their way into households in order to escape the cooling temperatures - and they can be tough to banish for good.
As well as cold weather, spider season kicks off at the start of autumn, meaning they search for a mate until around mid-October. These factors are why you may see an influx of the larger bugs at this time more than the rest of the year.
Luckily, there are affordable and natural ways to keep them out of your home. Lemons, which cost as little as 30 pence each from Tesco can serve as a creepy crawly repellent.
