Spider invasion

Find the dead rat that attracted the flies that the mother spider fed off. You are probably seeing the baby spiders from more than one batch.

"There may be more than 200 eggs in an egg sac and some spiders may lay nine of these sacs"

Personally I would leave then to disperse of their own accord.

I once had a dead pigeon in the loft which resulted in thousands of tiny spiders abseiling from the loft hatch.

No dead anything here.

They're not, though. They're weaving away showing every intention of sticking around for the duration. I had this last year, too. They remain tiny; they're not just 'babies' in this case.

Hmm, do you have a false ceiling? Is it tiled with gaps? A lot of spiders look for voids and things to lay egs. At the moment till they stop hatching there is probably not a lot else you can do as it is after all a kitchen. maybe firstly identify them and see what they feed on you might find that they are there because the mites or whatever they eat are also there.

I had this in my bedroom I think it was a wasps nest in that case which had been abandonned. Brian
