Seal Your Home Against Spider Infestations
In addition to setting up house in buckets and other containers, spiders love wood, leaves and plants. Make it more difficult for these pests to squeeze in through small openings by making a few easy modifications. Caulk cracks in your home’s walls, and seal gaps around windows and doors. Repair or replace torn or damaged screens, and place fine bug screens over vents and the chimney. As a bonus, you’ll make it harder for all kinds of pests to enter.
Bugs: A Spider Food Source
A spider infestation can result, in part, from bugs running free in your home. Arachnids eat insects, so eliminating other pests deprives the spider population of a food source in your home. It’s difficult to kill a spider with chemical sprays since it doesn’t usually clean itself, its body is raised from the ground and direct contact with product is required to kill spiders. Controlling spiders can be difficult, so keeping other pest away is your best option for resolution.
