Families flee spider plague

TERRIFIED families have fled a block of flats infested with venomous spiders.

The site was fumigated by pest control, but is still crawling with false widows.

Dionne Burrows, 28, had a bad reaction after she was bitten in Newham, East London and said son Luke, nine, was “petrified”.

She said: “I cannot live like this any more, I am really scared. The building is riddled, it’s ridiculous.”

Schools in the area shut due to false widow infestations earlier this month.
