Spider Control in Your Home

Eliminating the spider’s food source is a great way to get rid of them. So, treating for flies, moths, and many other insects can help. There are sticky traps and other methods that will help, but at the end of the day, a professional spider exterminator is your best bet for getting rid of spiders.

Washing plant foliage using a soft cloth, or a forceful spray of lukewarm water can help reduce the spider mite population if done repeatedly. Consult with your landscaper for more professional ways.

Most spiders are carnivores and enjoy eating a variety of household insects like flies, cockroaches, earwigs, mosquitoes, fleas, moths, and ants. Some will even eat other spiders.

Professional exclusion work can help keep all pests out, including house spiders. Unfortunately, most pests are small, so keeping them out can be difficult. One way is to reduce lighting that attracts night flying insects that spiders feed on. Spiders can scuttle in while you’re bringing the groceries in or if a door is propped open too long. And it doesn’t need to be open for all that long! Once they are in, glue traps can help capture them. But preventing spiders from getting in could be a losing battle. You can minimize with exclusion work and some commonsense practices, but to truly take care of nuisances like spiders, you’ll need a pest control professional.

Their food, of course! Spiders enjoy eating a variety of household insects like flies, cockroaches, earwigs, mosquitoes, fleas, moths, and ants. Some will even eat other spiders. They are also attracted to a warm home during colder months.

This depends on the spider. Some like dry areas, some like humid areas. Almost all like areas with less foot traffic. They tend to live wherever their food source is, as well.
