Giant spiders set to invade UK homes this autumn, warn experts
Scientists warn mild weather throughout the summer has led the arachnids to grow bigger than ever - just in time for mating season
Britain's homes will be invaded by giant spiders in the coming weeks.
That's the view of experts, who say rising temperatures during summer have led to the arachnids growing bigger than ever.
The mild summer has meant the arthropods have thrived.

"They're already in the house, but my Rottie seems to think they are a delicacy so they don't last long lol"
Please send your rottie down to give ours a lesson in spider control, he is currently hiding under the dining table after a big one ran across his bed! |

My daughter came across one of those in her room above her head. I tentertively sqashed it.
Was going to clean it up but she insisted I leave it as a warning to others. Come near and you're next hahaha |
