Preventing Spiders: Keep Spiders Out of Your Home in Bellevue, WA
Spiders are a part of nature, and they are bound to find their way inside people’s homes. In spite of the benefits of spiders, who feed on pest insects, many people abhor them. A number of steps can be taken to help eliminate house spider infestations and keep them out of the home.
Step 1: Remove Spiders and Webs
The first step in controlling spiders is to get rid of as many as you can find. A number of common household items can aid in the process. It’s important to look in warm, dark places that are high and low to identify a spider’s hiding place. They may be found in ceilings, under furniture, and even in storage boxes. Every nook and cranny is a possible nesting site. Once you find a spider or its web, remove it with a rag, broom, dust mop, or other household cleaning item. After cleanup, it’s important to throw away or shake out the equipment so the spiders (and egg sacs) aren’t able to reestablish themselves. Repeat every month or two.

Step 4: Eliminate Entryways
Spiders may be easy to get rid of inside the home, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t keep coming in. Additional measures must be taken to keep the spiders outside where they belong. Spiders tend to find ways into homes through gaps in windows and doors or openings around foundations. Filling these entryways will block them out. Mulch, plants, wood, and other materials that are placed near the foundation of a home are another surefire way to attract spiders. Consider mulch alternatives and place other materials away from the foundation.
