While it is easy to be afraid of them, spiders serve a useful purpose in both the home and the wild.

Their presence provides natural pest control. They often feed on a variety of insects, such as flies, aphids, caterpillars, mosquitoes, and mites. Each of which can harm human health or the plants we grow.

So, in part, it's thanks to the UK's spider population that pest insects in and around our buildings don't grow unchecked. Especially the ones too small for farmers or gardeners to spot easily. The ones that live beneath leaves and partially bury themselves. Wolf spiders and jumping spiders, for instance, forgo web building in order to hunt these pests directly. Taking care of those that we miss could go on to start a new infestation.

Their work is part of why it is important to consider alternatives to pesticides, as these chemicals can unintentionally kill off the spiders defending crops and flowers.

Several Moth species have been seen to be in decline in the UK, which we consider a negative for our wildlife and ecosystem.

Moths often make up a significant part of the diets of bird species, along with other wildlife, who are thereby affected by their population losses. They also play a significant role as nocturnal pollinators, spreading pollen to wildflowers and garden plants throughout the country.

They are worth protecting against the threats they face, as they are a key supporting element of our environment. Threats such as:
- Pesticides
- Habtitat loss
- Introduction of invasive predator species
- Light pollution throwing off navigation and mating

In October, the Australian airline Qantas had to ground a flight after bedbugs aboard the plane attacked passengers.

The insects were found in the seating of the plane's main body, and several passengers reported itchy bites during the flight. The bedbugs likely got aboard earlier and went undiscovered for a time before reproducing.

Insects in the family Cimicidae: bedbugs are blood-sucking parasites that feed at night and have repeatedly been found to spread internationally through luggage, clothes, and, in some cases, cargo. Being able to survive upwards of 300 days without feeding, they are a difficult pest to deal with, and multiple airlines have previously been found to have carried the parasites aboard, including British Airways in 2017 and Turkish Airlines in 2025.

They represent a serious issue that continues to crop up in modern society. Insects, pests, parasites, and other organisms piggybacking on international trade and travel. Thereby leading to invasive species emerging in vulnerable environments and to new outbreaks afflicting cities and towns.

With the discovery of Asian Hornets, 𝘝𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘢, in Somerset for the first time there is a growing concern around their spread in the UK.

The hornets are not native to the British Isles and are a dominant presence in local ecosystems where they have established nests. They often outcompete native species such as beetles, honeybees, and butterflies. Which, including other insects, they feed on regularly.

With the possibility of the invasive species spreading to Devon and Cornwall, further action is being urged to manage them. Citizens are being asked to report sightings of the insects where spotted and, if possible, record their flight path. The hope is that queens can be captured and prevented from settling into new areas.

It is a difficult balancing act. While the aim is to reduce the spread of the hornets, there is a level of acceptance that they will become more settled here, so managing the population is more focused on spread than removal.

The potential knock-on effects of this population increasing could be more damage to fruit produce which the insects feed on, along with a reduced presence of pest predator species, as the Asian Hornet feeds on them.

You are likely aware of the consequences of pesticide use by now if you have been following us for any period of time!

Of course, they often harm useful insect species such as pollinators like honeybees and hoverflies, and pest predators such as beetles that would otherwise feed on the pests eating your plants. Beyond that, they can also harm mammals such as owls or hedgehogs that feed on pests coated in these chemicals.

In many ways, pesticides are like the hammer to the scalpel precision of pheromones. Where pesticides rely on soaking plants in multiple coats to kill off potential pests, without guarantee that they will successfully wipe out a pest population, pheromones can target specific species while keeping others safe.

That way, your field or garden can trap your aphids without accidentally harming other animals you do want there. This creates a healthier, more successful growing environment.

Just last week, the United Nations's FAO held the annual From Seeds to Foods symposium! 🌱

Dozens from around the world flocked to the Circo Massimo in Rome to attend. Experts, industry leaders, workers, researchers, business heads, farmers, and more shared their insights. This tremendous discussion centred on the future of food systems, international cooperation and securing food for the world's people for the decades to come.

The team here at International Pheromone Systems was represented by our own -Shafighi. Payman took part in sharing his insight into the industry and demonstrated our work in developing pheromone-based systems to manage pests. Offering alternatives to pesticides, as traditional chemical sprays struggle against resistant species and damage ecosystems needed to support healthy crop growth.

It was a fantastic opportunity to address some of the major issues impacting global populations at the moment and affecting the industries we rely on. We appreciate the IBMA - International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association for supporting our ability to attend!

Moving forward, we hope to use the discussions and insights shared here to start building the change we want to see at next year's symposium.

As spiders seek mates throughout autumn, you're likely to see a few more arachnids around.

That is why we put together a few of the most common ones you are likely to come across. While they may seem frightening at times, we want to stress that spiders in the UK are harmless. Few have the fangs to pierce human skin, and the average spider is not aggressive towards humans, only biting when under great threat.

As long as they are left alone, they are more than able to keep to themselves. Not to mention, they love to prey on the common pests that exist within the home. Especially now as the cold sets in and insects seek shelter.

20/10/2026

This week, in the spirit of the month, we wanted to focus on our arachnid neighbours. Both the common house spiders and those wilder species you might not have heard of.

Right now, you may be seeing more spiders than usual. This isn't a new trend, but a yearly occurrence in autumn. The truth is that there is not a specific boom in spider populations during autumn, but an increase in sightings instead.

This is because spiders that hatched in earlier months have grown larger, reached maturity, and are now looking for a mate. This often leads them into homes and buildings where temperatures are warmer and females have found safe spaces to nest in. This makes it seem that they are more numerous now when it is more accurate to safe they are braving being seen in the struggle to create the next generation.

The spider you see on your windowsill is likely to be one looking to become a parent.

Of course, our eight-legged friends are going to be busy as well, capturing pests such as flies and mosquitoes in the home. 'Paying rent', as it were, by acting as natural pest control and keeping the home clear of other insects looking to hide inside during the upcoming winter.

Luckily for us, insects are their main focus. The average spider in your home is not aggressive to humans and will happily keep to themselves if left alone.

As the colder weather arrives, it's worth discussing overwintering and what it means for homeowners.

12/10/2026

Today is the last day of the FAO's From Seeds to Foods, and we hope that it has been enlightening to all those who have attended.

𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆, 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬-𝟭𝟯:𝟬𝟬 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗲📍

There is still plenty of time left today to speak to those experts and industry leaders in attendance, developing the lasting connections that could see future partnerships flourish in the industry.

We would like to thank both the organisers at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for hosting the event and IBMA - International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association for helping our attendance to the event.
