Spider Reduction

Spider Prevention Tips

Here are some helpful things to do to make the treatments more effective against spiders:

• Routine, thorough house cleaning is the best way to eliminate spiders and discourage their return. A vacuum cleaner or broom effectively removes spiders, webs, and egg sacs.
• Spiders prefer quiet, undisturbed areas such as closets, garages, basements, and attics. Reducing clutter in these areas makes them less attractive to spiders.
• Large numbers of spiders often congregate outdoors around the perimeter of structures. Migration indoors can be reduced by moving firewood, building materials, and debris away from the foundation. Shrubs, vines, and tree limbs should be clipped back from the side of the building.
• Install tight-fitting window screens and door sweeps to exclude spiders and other insects. Inspect and clean behind outdoor window shutters.
• Consider installing yellow or sodium vapor light bulbs at outside entrances. These lights are less attractive than incandescent bulbs to night-flying insects, which, in turn, attract spiders
• Pay attention to seasonal changes, as these can impact spider activity. During warmer months, spiders are more active and preventive measures should be increased.

When it comes to spider reduction, we have to be patient. There is no silver bullet that will eradicate spiders immediately. Regular treatments and inspection will help eliminate food and shelter for the spiders, making your home or office unwelcoming to them.
