Massive spiders with ‘wasp sting’ bite invade UK homes after wet summer

The UK’s wet summer conditions have created the perfect breeding ground for giant spiders with a ‘wasp sting’ bite.

These spiders can inflict an extremely painful bite and they are known as false widow spiders – the most venomous in the UK.

Their venom causes swelling like painful burns and fever but thankfully they will not kill you.
