Pest Control Treatment for Spiders

Steps for Spider Prevention

You can help stop a spider infestation before it starts by taking a proactive approach:

• Remove webs: A web is a spider’s home. It’s also where many species lay their eggs. Knocking down and disposing of webs can prevent the population from increasing.
• Eliminate their food supply: Because spiders primarily dine on insects, controlling other pests can serve two purposes — you get rid of the pests spiders feed on and the spiders themselves.
• Try home remedies: Common items you may have in your pantry, like mint tea or white vinegar, may repel spiders — at least temporarily.
• Seal gaps: Check for holes in screens, small cracks and crevices in walls and around windows, and other openings that give spiders access to your home.
• Clean thoroughly: Spiders like to spin their webs in dark corners and other out-of-the-way locations. Don’t overlook these areas when cleaning your home.
