There are lots of pests that you want to keep out of your house. It can be anything from a line of ants picking up leftover food all the way to crickets that are chirping all night long. There are lots of pests that can be invading your home throughout the year and one that seems to cause a legitimate amount of stress are spiders. They are a pest that people generally have a fear of and want to keep out of their home. This can be from the look of them with their eight legs and their glowing eyes. It could also be from the fact that there are some spiders that have some venom that can be dangerous if you are bitten. That is why many people want to do what they can to keep them out of their house. A Five Star Termite & Pest Control offers helpful tips to keep spiders from getting inside your house.
Control the Pests Spiders Eat
One of the things that many people might be overlooking about spiders is that they are part of pest control. They are known to eat other pests that are living or passing through your house. It is their main food source and that is why they set up shop in your home and garden to feast on the other pests that are in the area. Although they will eat other pests most people do not want to let them stay in their house. One of the best ways to do that is to make sure that spiders are unable to find a food source in your house. That is why it is extremely important to keep up on your routine pest control services. The more that you allow other pests into and around your home the more likely it is that spiders will be there as well. The presence of pests is enough to call out any type of spider and they will get in your house.
Clean House & Clear Out Clutter
Another reason that you may end up with spiders around your house is that you have great places for them to hide. They have been known to hide in wood piles and cardboard boxes to name a few. It is important to go around your house and your garage and make sure that there are not places for them to hide and build a nest. If you have stacks of boxes, wood or other debris you want to make sure that it is cleared and away from your house. This will keep them from getting too close and hopefully keep them from getting in the house at all.
Do Spiders Stay Away from Strong Smells?
Even though you have your home treated by a pest control technician you can also add other levels of control. One is that you can use essential oils that you can soak in a cloth or a cotton ball and place in areas that might be prone to spiders. The spiders do not want to be near harsh smells such as peppermint oil or lavender is enough to send them a different direction.
