Where Spiders Gather in Bexley
Garages and sheds around Welling
Welling's semi-detached garages rarely get cleared out from one year to the next, and it's that lack of disturbance — stacked boxes, old tools, a workbench nobody moves — that lets spider numbers build steadily until late summer's breeding season makes them obvious.
Cellars near Bexley Village
A handful of the older properties around Bexley Village still have a cellar, and the drop in temperature and light below ground level suits spiders far better than any room upstairs — egg sacs tucked into the brickwork are usually the giveaway once webs are spotted.
Signs to Look For
- Cobwebs building up in corners, cellars or rarely used rooms
- Spiders seen more often in autumn as they move indoors to breed
- Egg sacs tucked into skirting boards, window frames or storage boxes
- More activity in cold, undisturbed spaces — sheds, garages, cellars
Cutting Off Spider Shelter
A garage or cellar that's regularly cleared out and has its door gaps sealed gives spiders far less reason to settle there again.
