Prevent The Scare Of House Spiders
Causing jumps, screams and scares to homes across the country is
the dreaded sighting of a house spider. We have all had encounters with a
creepy spider and whether you are the one who screams for help or the
one that comes running to the rescue, we can likely all agree they are
not good company to have in our home.Although very few spiders are capable of causing humans any harm, does not make these critters any better to be residing in your home. Only the black widow and the brown recluse are known to have the ability to cause severe reactions when they bite and this is only in some people. For the most part spiders are very docile and try to avoid any human interactions. Due to this fact, you will most likely find spiders in the following areas of your home:
- back of the closet
- old boxes or bins
- stacks of newspaper
- in the attic
- in the basement
- in crawl spaces
- or anywhere else that is remote and away from constant human contact
Still not convinced that you want to see a spider ever again? Here are some ways to help prevent finding these critters spinning webs in your home:
- trim back bushes and shrubs so they do not touch the side of the house
- make sure all windows and doors have screens that fit tightly and do not have holes or tears
- seal off cracks on the exterior of your home
- de-clutter your storage spaces so spiders cannot hide out
- contact your local pest control company to set up a routine pest control service
