Spider Control: Coexistence or Call in the Experts?

Treating spider nests

Spiders. They lurk in corners, spin intricate webs, and send shivers down the spines of many a homeowner. While some find them fascinating, others consider them unwelcome guests. But before you grab the shoe or resort to harsh chemicals, let's explore spider control methods and when professional intervention might be necessary.

Why Do We Have Spiders?

Believe it or not, spiders are beneficial housemates (most of the time). They're nature's pest control unit, catching flies, mosquitoes, and other annoying insects. However, we understand that sharing your space with eight-legged critters isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Natural Spider Control Methods:

  • Seal Up the Entry Points: Spiders are excellent at finding tiny cracks and gaps to enter your home. Inspect windows, doors, foundations, and utility lines for potential entry points and seal them with caulk or weather stripping.
  • Declutter Your Space: Spiders love clutter as it provides hiding spots and potential prey (insects attracted to clutter). Reduce clutter indoors and outdoors around your foundation.
  • Regular Cleaning: Vacuuming and dusting regularly removes spiderwebs and discourages egg-laying. Pay close attention to corners, baseboards, and behind furniture.

When to Call a PestStop Professional:

  • Heavy Infestation: If you're seeing multiple spiders daily or encountering large webs throughout your home, it might be a sign of a larger infestation.
  • Dangerous Species: While most common house spiders are harmless, although not common in the Pacific Northwest, some like black widows or brown recluse spiders can inflict serious bites. If you suspect a dangerous spider species, call a professional immediately.
  • Fear or Phobia: For some, the fear of spiders can be debilitating. PestStop offers humane for us not for spider(s) control methods to alleviate your anxieties and ensure a spider-free environment.
