This viral video is proof that spider season has officially arrived.
With the August Bank Holiday looming, people are aware that summer will come to an end and temperatures will soon drop.
While many people are looking forward to Autumn, one thing many people are forgetting is that with the arrival of September comes the arrival of spider season.
Spider season refers to the time of year when the eight-legged creatures make their way inside homes in order to find a mate and shield from the cold weather.
People across the UK are already experiencing high levels of spider sightings in their homes, including one TikTok user who has shared a shocking video of the arachnid he found lurking in his Manchester house.
The man, Scottie, who posts on the video platform under the handle @alphameridius, shared a video of himself coaxing the spider out of a hiding space with a stick.
He uses what looks like a toothpick to touch the spider's webs in order to cause it to reveal itself.
However, when the spider did pop itself out of the hole in the wooden floor, Scottie was left panicking at the sheer size of the creature.
