Spiders typically emerge in early September, with increased indoor presence peaking in mid-October. Female spiders remain stationary, whereas males roam, seeking mates.
The false widow spider, one of the few species capable of harming humans, has a sting likened to a wasp's. They proliferated in the UK since the 1980s.
Despite their shyness, false widow spiders inhabit homes, favoring areas such as conservatories, lofts, and garages. Bites occur when they are mishandled or trapped.
The population of false widows is continually growing in the UK. They thrive in suburban settings and are commonly found in domestic environments.
