Benefits to spiders in homes, trust says

We're being told to recognise the benefits of having spiders in our homes.

Manx WIldlife Trust is urging people to be able to deal with any fears they may have and has issued information on the advantages the eight-legged creatures can have on controlling pests and bugs in your home.

Among the advice it says not to throw them out but to allow them to retreat into recesses, adding they're rarely seen by people for most of the year.

MWT took to social media this week adding it wants people to take some time to 'learn and understand nature' and that we're 'all part of the same ecosystem'.
