What’s black and white and sticky all over? If you said scary spiders sitting on a web, you’d be right!
There are lots of different spider species to be found here in Longview, many of which would be more than happy to move into your home. The warm climate and mild winters of our area ensure that there is always a large supply of these arachnids, especially in and around residential areas. A few of the more common varieties are:
- Cellar Spiders
- Wolf Spiders
- Jumping Spiders
Most of these spider species are harmless at best, and perhaps mildly annoying at the worse. While some are capable of biting humans, these punctures rarely last long and are sometimes undetectable by certain individuals. Spiders are more a nuisance pest than anything else. However, these eager eight-legged emissaries are never a welcome sight in the average home.
Five Big Tips for Spider Prevention For Homeowners
The best way to keep spiders out of the home is to eliminate the factors that force them to move inside in the first place. This can be done by following the five tips listed below:
- Sweep away any and all webs that have formed within the home. Take care to brush away any external webs that have formed too close to the sides and entry points of the residence.
- Address moisture concerns in the home to reduce the amount of available water for pests. This can be done with a dehumidifier or a set of desiccant bags.
- Proper food and trash storage are paramount for a spider-free home.
- Check for secondary pest infestations. While not always the case, spiders often follow and ‘camp’ near their pest prey in order to receive a steady supply of food. Even if you have not noticed the signs or symptoms of secondary pest activity, it may be wise to receive a second opinion right away.
- Identify and seal up potential home entry points. Check the area around door sweeps, window screens, and the foundations of the home. Seal compromised areas with waterproof caulking, or consult a home repair professional for additional help.
