How To Catch a False Widow Spider

October 16, 2013 by James

False widow spiders are being spotted all over England now. There have even been reports of the spiders in Scotland recently in the media.

Obviously, you do not want these spiders roaming free on your house, so it’s important that you catch any false widows that might be lurking in and around your house.

There are two scenarios that you need to think about:

Preventative

If your anything like me, you will want to be catching spiders whilst you sleep! After all, false widow spiders are mainly active at night.

In this case, my recommendation to you is setting spider traps!

I personally have these fantastic glue insect traps in places where I think false widow spiders are likely to enter my house from outside, primarily near doors and windows.

They are absolutely fantastic and effective for catching spiders before they crawl on you at night!

Just make sure that you get non-toxic ones that are safe for children and pets.

Live Combat!

Spider Catcher

If you spot a false widow spider in your house, you are going to want to get it out of there as quickly and safely as possible!

You will want to make sure that you don’t get too close to the spider, as the bite can be extremely dangerous.

I highly recommend using a specific spider catcher. These are really cheap to get a hold of and ensure that you don’t have to get too near to a spider to easily get rid of it!

The design of these spider catchers is pretty cool too. It’s extremely effective and does not harm the spider in any way.

They can be picked up on sites like Amazon very cheaply.
