Understanding Spider Behavior

Before talking about control methods, it’s important to recognize the behavior of spiders. They are adept at seeking out small insects as a food source, and they tend to make their homes in dark, secluded corners. Keeping your home clean and free of potential spider prey can be an essential first step in preventing infestations.

Seeing spiders inside of your home is often a sign that there are other insects that they are there to prey on. Treating just the spiders will most likely not give you the long term relief you want.

What can you do to control spiders?

Regular home maintenance can play a pivotal role in keeping spiders at bay. Here’s what you can do:

1. Clutter Control: Spiders love cluttered spaces, as they provide ample hiding spots. Regularly declutter your home, paying attention to attics, basements, and closets.
2. Seal Cracks and Openings: Spiders can enter your home through the tiniest openings. Inspect and seal cracks in walls, floors, and foundations to limit their entry points.
3. Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum your home regularly, paying extra attention to corners, crevices, and window sills.
4. Clean Your Gutters: Gutters that are clogged with debris can be an environment for many types of pests including ants, roaches, and mosquitoes. Keeping your gutters clean will help to keep the spiders away because you are removing their food source.
5. Turn off your lights at night: Exterior lights attract moths and other flying insects. By turning off lights at night you will reduce the food the spiders want to eat. The spiders will also create webs near these light sources.
