Brits flood the internet with videos of abnormally big spiders, as number of eight-legged insects set to boom
BRITS are flooding social media with videos of abnormally big spiders with the number of eight legged insects set to boom in the coming weeks.
Arachnids take shelter in our homes as the weather begins to cool so they can mate.

It begins in the first or second week of September and ends by the first week of October.
Usually, a barrage of male critters come inside to hunt for the females that “stay put” indoors and can be found lurking around in places we rather they wouldn’t be.
And although spider season isn’t very long – which is good news for those who suffer from arachnophobia – many Brits are still fearing the worst.
This week on TikTok, one user was filmed screaming after spotting a spider in the bath.

“Oh my God, what am I supposed to do,” she can be heard saying as the critter scuttles across the tub.
“Do I flush it our,” she asks before spilling water onto the spider.
Her predicament was the same as many others as users online shared their own early spider season torment.
In one clip, a London resident filmed a giant spider as it crawled down her bedroom wall.

“That is massive, oh no” she squealed.
While, another enthusiast even took it upon himself to pry a huge spider out from a small gap under his shower.
“Wow, look how big that f****r is,” he says, as the huge beady eyed insect emerged from the floorboards.
Naturally, users in the comments were less than pleased at the sight.
“The fact that you see it’s eyes reflecting,” one said.
“I’d give him my house keys and move out,” added another.
While a third panicked: “Where are all these giant spiders coming from.”
According to self-proclaimed ‘bugman’ Richard Jones, many spiders may have already been living in your home, but their presence is more noticeable at this time of year as they begin to wander around.
“The ones we see scuttling around in the house – they’re usually the male house spiders,” the author and self-proclaimed “bugman” previously told BBC Newsbeat last year.
“The ones you see running across the carpet in front of you freaking you out, most often it’ll be a male out on some sort of amorous pursuit.”
House spiders are descendants of African and Mediterranean arachnids, and so are built for warmer climates.
As a result, they prefer hiding in cosy homes over building webs in the garden.
The eight-legged creatures are usually born indoors where they lurk for most of the year, fattening up on bugs before breaking cover during mating season.
Richard said most UK spiders are nothing to worry about, as they can’t bite humans.

He said a spider’s jaws are so small that nipping a human would be like trying to take a bite out of a basketball.
But if you’re still concerned, we have compiled a list of several natural deterrents that can help banish the bugs.
