We apologise in advance for the following bad news but we must be prepared in the face of adversity – and luckily we can help you with that. Show This year we will see a greater than usual infestation of daddy-longlegs – the annoying, dangling crane flies that hover around us and sit on our walls waiting to take flight when our backs are turned. Once again, in classic British style, the weather is to blame. Normally, the flies lay their eggs in lawns during Winter but, due to our classic British freeze, most of the larvae do not survive. However, because last Winter was a lot milder than we are used to, many more daddy-longlegs babies were able to survive and develop. Entomologist Barry Warrington told The Metro, ‘It is definitely a bumper year this year, simply due to the nice weather.’ ‘It has not been as cold, there is a lot more for them to prey on. Warmer conditions suit them more, and they are actually out earlier than usual this year.' In conclusion, the warm weather we have all enjoyed so far this year has brought with it a flying shadow of insects and arachnids that are about to find warmth in our houses. How to keep spiders out of your home The experts at the GHI recommend closing your doors and windows when you can and, once any spiders are inside, using a vacuum or broom to remove them (making sure not to mark your walls or carpet). You can also try placing conkers in the corners of your rooms. Although this old wives' tale might not have much scientific evidence behind it, people have relied on it for years with the theory being that they emit a noxious chemical that drives the spider away. Spiders, of all varieties, also hate the smell of peppermint, so try spraying peppermint oil along your door frames to deter them. Have a Spider Problem?
