Spider Pest Control
Spiders are great for keeping insects like flies and mosquitoes under control, but many people also consider them a pest. Spider webs are unsightly and attract dust, and some species can be venomous. Not to mention many people are terrified of spiders, whether they’re venomous or not!
How to prevent spiders
There are a few ways to help prevent spiders from entering your home or hanging out in your garden:
- Keep your yard free of leaves, grass clippings and piles of wood. Spiders love to hide out in the dark spaces that these provide.
- Spray peppermint essential oils around your home. Peppermint deters spiders, so having your home smell minty can help to keep them at bay.
- Get a cat. As natural hunters, most cats will be quick to catch and kill spiders.
Spider treatment
Once you have spiders in your house, it isn’t so easy to treat the problem. Spider control can be complicated, as spiders that build webs and spiders that don’t build webs (non-webbing spiders) require different treatments. Non-webbing spiders like Huntsmen can be particularly difficult to locate and kill.
The easiest and most effective way to kill spiders and prevent new spiders from visiting is to get the advice of a pest control expert. They will be able to identify the existing spiders around your home, and the best way to control them.
