HI all,

I've got these tiny spiders setting up home here in the kitchen. They're
about the same size as money spiders but are a different kind of spider
on closer inspection. I recall years ago using sulphur candles to kill
such pests but that was in a garage. I'm not sure if these candles are
suitable for use indoors, but I can't think of any alternative. I've been
hoovering them up every other day but then another lot turn up; at least
as many as before. Any suggestions as to how to deal with 'em?

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.

Fly spray. Works fine.
