Environmental experts have said that an invasion of daddy-long-legs of homes in the UK is imminent this month.

They said that the daddy-long-legs insects will be seeking shelter in homes this month. The insect invasion is imminent due to reason including mild winter and the rise in temperatures in October in the UK. These flying spiders usually spend most of the year underground but experts said that this year will be hotter than usual.

Entomologist Barry Warrington, from Hull, said, "It is definitely a bumper year this year, simply due to the nice weather.It has not been as cold, so there is a lot more for them to prey on.I think last year was a bit colder, so there wasn't as many daddy-long-legs, but this year there are more than last.Warmer conditions suit them more, and they are actually out earlier than usual this year.They eat smaller insects and the warm weather is good for them too."

As the temperature starts to drop, the six-legged creatures will move to wards homes to seek shelter and this is expected to happen within this month.
