Keep Windows Shut to Stop the Spider from Entering Homes

Residents in the UK are being urged to keep their windows closed this August as the poisonous False Widow spider reaches its peak mating season.

The spider, dubbed Britain’s most hazardous native species, becomes extremely active in late summer.

Male spiders leave their webs to find mates and can enter homes through open windows, vents, or drains. Dr. Tom Elwood, a famous spider expert, stated that False Widow bites are not fatal, but they can be highly uncomfortable. Victims frequently describe the sensation to a wasp sting.
