Spider Control
Say Goodbye to Spider problems!
Spiders are common household pests that can often cause concern for homeowners. While most spiders are harmless and beneficial as they help control other insect populations, some can pose risks through bites (only two such species in North Carolina, the black widow and the brown recluse) or simply by causing fear and anxiety.
Why Do Spiders Come to Homes?
Spiders typically enter homes in search of food and shelter. They are attracted to areas where they can find other insects to prey upon. Additionally, homes provide warmth and safety from intense weather conditions.
Seasonal Habits of Spiders
Spring: As temperatures rise, spiders become more active and may emerge from their hiding places. This is often when homeowners notice more spiders indoors.
Summer: Spiders are most active during the summer months, as they hunt for food and reproduce. You may see more webs and spiders around your home. At Pineland Pest Control, removing these webs are part of a maintenance service.
Fall: Spiders seek shelter indoors as the weather cools, leading to increased sightings in homes. Spider populations are also at annual highs in the fall and can lead to many more sightings even though the thermometer is dipping lower.
Winter: Many spiders will remain dormant in sheltered areas. However, some may still be active if temperatures are mild, especially in North Carolina.
Strategies for Homeowners to Reduce Spiders
Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and vents. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these openings. This is called exclusion and is the number one way to keep spiders from entering your home.
Reduce Clutter: Keep stored items to a minimum by reducing clutter. Spiders like to hide in areas such as piles of clothes, boxes, or other items you might find in a home or garage.
Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly clean your home to remove spider webs and egg sacs. Physical removal by vacuuming can help to reduce spider populations in a home.
Outdoor Maintenance: Trim back shrubs and trees near your home to reduce hiding spots for spiders, they can also use these plants as a “bridge” over onto your home. This can be especially true on second levels of a home. Remove debris or clutter around your yard.
