It is every modern-day human’s worst nightmare and it seems professionals are creeped out by them too! A pest controller has captured footage showing how the walls of his own house are infested with hundreds of venomous spiders with ‘glowing green’ fangs.
Grant Wood says that when he discovered the tube web spiders in his home in Bracknell, Northamptonshire, a year ago, there were around 100 but they have since quadrupled in numbers. Yikes! The 40-year-old compares the infernal arachnids to the ominous spiders seen in the Harry Potter franchise.

The irony that so many of these “mini tarantulas" have chosen the home of a pest controller to infest in not lost on Grant. It is good to keep a sane sense of humor in times like these.
Grant says: “Spiders are one of nature’s best pest controllers, perhaps that’s why I get along with them so well."
The Segestria florentina, also known as a tube web spider, is one of the largest spiders in Britain, with a body that can reach lengths of 2.2cm
