Spiders – for some, the very thought send shivers down spines. While the United States alone boasts over 3,500 spider species (yikes!), most are harmless. However, even harmless spiders can be a nuisance if the problem becomes an infestation. This winter, keep your home spider free with Masters Pest Control’s tips on pest control for spiders.
Why Spiders Love Your Cozy Home
Spiders are drawn to the same things we enjoy – warmth and shelter! During the colder months, they seek refuge inside our toasty homes. Additionally, insects such as ants, flies, and Asian Lady Beetles for example, are a prime food source for spiders, and also try to escape the winter chill the same way, making your home a spider buffet.
DIY Spider Pest Control: Challenges and Solutions
While there are DIY spider pest control products like store-bought sprays and traps, these often prove ineffective. Here’s why:
- Spider Physiology: Spiders have raised bodies that prevent them from fully contacting surfaces. So, common pest control methods like spider sprays might never come into contact with their targets.
- Web Warriors: Spiders are masters at hiding in webs and secluded areas, making it difficult to pinpoint and eliminate them all.
- Hidden Hatchlings: Spiders lay numerous eggs, and those tiny hatchlings are even harder to detect than their adult counterparts. Learn how to identify spider egg sacks here.
