Now is the time the majority of us will notice more creepy crawlies in our homes then ever before.
With temperatures dropping, spiders and daddy long legs (known as crane flies) seek the warmth of indoors, just like the rest of us.
Many of us have already looked into how we can keep spiders out of our homes, but when it comes to daddy long legs most of us don't know any solutions.

Although slightly annoying, this type of crane fly is completely harmless and doesn't bite like some spiders, as reported by CoventryLive.
And an expert has now explained why we shouldn't kill daddy long legs even though so many people are scared by them.
Karl Curtis, director of reserves and community engagement at Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, told the Mirror : "They are out this time of year because basically, they are hatching out of our lawns and various places - they live a lot of their lives underground as a grub, as a larva, and then what they do is they hatch out over the summer.
"Probably now is the last throw of the dice, and what they do is they come out and looking to mate, lay eggs back into vegetation and then they die off.
"They often get confused with spiders but they're not, they're flies, they're really good food source for birds, they're really important to play their part so people should let them out their windows and not kill them."
Mr Curtis also said that things like fly sprays are bad for the environment and other living things so should be avoided.
And he noted that crane flies are in fact not poisonous, contrary to popular belief and shouldn't be feared.
