Tips for Keeping Spiders Out of Your Home

It’s almost wintertime and that means those outside bugs, insects and arachnids are going to be looking for a warm place to call home. If you are anything like the most of us, you probably don’t want anything to do with spiders anytime of the year, especially in the comfort of your living quarters. Not only are spiders terrifying, but some can even be poisonous to humans and animals. However, even though most spiders are harmless, you don’t want them preventing you from feeling relaxed in your home. So how exactly are we supposed to keep these awful pests out?

If you are currently using store bought pest sprays, these can not only be hazardous, but also ineffective. When you choose to team up IPM Pest & Termite, we will keep your home comfortable and bug-free this winter, and year round. We also have some great tips that you can do yourself to prevent further pest issues. The first step you should always do is keep your home clean. This is also one of the easiest steps because this is something you do on a regular basis anyway. Be sure to sweep and mop under your couches, benches, and most importantly, hard to reach places. Spraying your home down with citrus, peppermint or tea tree scents can also help prevent spiders from entering your home in the future. This method may sound silly, but these smells can help repel spiders and keep them from entering from the outside. Since spiders are not fond of these scents, they are likely to stay away from areas that are filled with them. This is also a natural method that will be safe for you and your animals. It is also common for spiders to live in plants, leaves, bushes and woods. To lower the chances of spiders finding their way inside, creating distance between these items and the exteriors of your home would be beneficial.

Keeping spiders out of your home does not have to be a costly process. Our highly skilled and licensed professionals will first come to your home to do an inspection to determine if your home had been previously treated.
