Ways to get rid of spiders at home

• Spiders are not as bad as we think. They are also considered a natural form of pest because they prey on other insects. That does not mean you can freely invite spiders into your homes.
• Spiders can cause food contamination in the kitchen and lead to many health problems. You need to take proper actions to prevent spiders and reduce the risk of health problems. Here are some of the ways to get rid of spiders easily. 

1. Keep your basement and garages clean.

• Spiders live in secluded and dark places where they can easily build a web and wait to catch their new prey. So an unused basement or a garage is the best place for spiders to build their webs.
• Avoid leaving clothing and shoes on the floor. You can store your clothes and shoes in a plastic container. Do not forget to shake all the clothing before wearing it or washing it.

2. Check for cracks and damaged walls around your home.

• Spiders get inside the home via damaged window screens and cracks. You need to regularly check on these seals and cracks because temperature and weather change can worsen the problem.

3. Properly check the decoration boxes and grocery bags before bringing them indoors.

• When the packages are delivered to your doorstep or groceries are kept at the driveway while unloading, there are chances that the spiders can easily crawl into the bags or boxes and get home with you.
• Checking the boxes thoroughly before taking them in can reduce the risk of spiders inside your home.

4. If you have a spider bite, kindly contact your primary physician for medical help.

• Spiders like house spiders and cellar spiders have no threat to people. Since they do not have strong mouthparts, they do not cause much damage to our skin.
• Unlike cellar spiders, spider species like black widow and brown recluse can pierce your skin and easily inject venom inside us. But do not worry. These bites are treatable.
• Symptoms of spider bites include localized pain, fever, and nausea.

5. If you have a spider infestation at home, you can also call a licensed spider pest control professional.

• If you actively work on spider control, then you can reduce the chances of any spiders making a home at your place, causing infection, and harming your family members.
• If you find any spider infestation at your home, you should contact a professional spider control agency to help you get rid of the spiders.

Things you need to know about professional spider pest control services and prevention

Spider pest control does not always work

• Spider pest controlservices do not provide 100% results.
• Although pest controlis an effective way to kill insects and other pests, spiders do not pick up the pesticides easily when compared to other pests. So only spraying them as a defense mechanism won’t really help.
• The reason behind this is since spiders have long legs, their bellies are above the ground. So the insecticides will only touch their feet and not other parts of the body.

Spiders do not have a circulatory system

• Unlike other insects, spiders do not have a circulatory system to carry the insecticides from feet to other body parts, nor do they use their mouthparts to clean their bodies and live on the web.
• So you need to take effective actions to control the spiders. You need to use the technique “contact killing.”

Spray Pesticides on the surfaces

• Suppose you spray pesticides on the surface of any interior where the spider can go, such as the piece of wood around the window, the carpet, or any other furniture.
• In that case, the spider’s body is likely to get in touch with the pesticides, and pest control might be effective.

Control Spider’s food source

• Since spiders prey on other insects, another effective way to control spiders is to control their food source inside the house.
• Reducing the other insects in your home will reduce the food source for them, resulting in fewer spiders.
• In simple words, to get rid of spiders, get rid of other bugs. Cracks treatment will effectively kill insecticides. You can also use glue boards or sticky traps.

Using Sticky Traps

• The sticky traps or glue traps are used to capture spiders and kill them. Since the sticky traps won’t cover the surface, you need to place the trap in places where spiders are likely to come.
• Since spiders are not social insects like ants and bees, you can place the glue traps in dark and quiet places. A cupboard or area between a wall and a web is a good place to catch spiders.
• Glue traps point towards the source of the infestation. This makes it easy to find out how the spiders are entering your home. For example, if you have six spiders trapped on the left side of the glue trap, look for spiders on the left side of the wall, check on the walls’ opening, and much more.
