Dangers Of Spider Infestations In Homes
The majority of spider species are venomous, but in most cases, a bite isn’t harmful to people. Medically speaking, only bites from Black Widows and Recluse Spiders are likely to require urgent medical attention, that is, unless you have an allergy to stinging insects. For the most part, spider bites are rare. Like most critters, they tend to be more afraid of us than we are of them.
It’s somewhat of a misnomer that spiders move into homes from outside during colder seasons. In most cases, house spiders don’t “move in.” The fact is, they’ve likely lived there during their entire life cycle. More than anything, spiders inside your home probably indicate the presence of insects and other small creatures that they like to prey on. Controlling their food source is often the key to managing their population. The less they have to eat, the less likely they are to stick around.
How To Get Rid Of Spiders In Your Home
Spiders may have more legs than you. But fortunately, you have more brains. If you start to notice an excessive number of spiders in your home, call the experts at
Go-Pher The Kill Pest Control. Our trained specialists will come out to your home and do a free comprehensive evaluation. We’ll assess your home’s interior and exterior – and offer a range of responsible and effective solutions to remove these unwanted pests from your home and your life.
Our spider control options include:
- Trapping: We use strategically place traps in common spider locations, such as along baseboards, in crawl spaces, and behind large objects.
- Chemical Control: As a certified and licensed exterminator, we use chemical control agents inside and around the perimeter of your home or building. This will reduce both spider populations – as well as other insects that spiders rely on for food.
- Non-Chemical Control: Non-chemical spider control methods can include eliminating rocks, brush piles, stacked wood, unused flowerpots, and other clutter that can create spider-friendly habitats around the exterior of your home. Additionally, we’ll make suggestions for sealing cracks around the foundation and at different points where spiders and pests may be entering your home.
How We Get Rid of Spiders
At Go-Pher The Kill Pest Control, our team has a tried and tested process for removing spiders from our customers’ homes. The first step is for our technicians to conduct a thorough inspection of your Riverside property – both the interior and exterior of your home, and the surrounding yard. Outside, we’ll inspect common spider hiding spots like shrubs, crawl spaces, roof eaves, light fixtures, and window and door frames. We’ll also scope out places where spiders like to build their webs inside of houses, such as garages, closets, and bathrooms.
Once our team has a good understanding of how severe and widespread your spider infestation is, we can proceed with our spider control services in Riverside. It’s worth noting that having some spiders around is beneficial for controlling populations of other pests, but that’s not the case with dangerous spiders like black widows and brown recluses. Our specialists will always make note of these venomous species and prioritize them when the time comes for extermination.
To remove the majority of the spiders from your property, our licensed and insured exterminators will apply chemical treatments both inside and outside your home. Spiders are so numerous that your property may never be fully spider-free, but our treatments can significantly reduce their numbers and overall presence. For ongoing spider control, we’ll also place spider traps in areas of your property where these arachnids often hide, like baseboards and crawl spaces. To prevent ongoing spider problems, our team can seal entry points in your siding and foundation, and offer advice on how to make your home less appealing to spiders.
