Natural Repellents
One of the best approaches to keep spiders out of your home is by using a natural insecticide. However, it is recommended to leave insecticides to professionals because you have to be extra careful while handling these repellents.
Before using any insecticide, read the instructions labelled on the packaging and pay close attention to all the mentioned warnings. If you don’t know anything about commercial insecticide, you can make your own spider repellent with eucalyptus essential oils, citrus, tea tree oil and peppermint.
We will also find the factors that caused bed bug infestation. Plus, you can also get a free quote from our website.
Outside Lighting
Lights do not really attract spiders. However, several other insects that they love to devour are drawn to light. An excellent way to keep your property free from spiders is by turning off your outdoor lights. You don’t have to turn off all the lights. Instead, you can replace your existing lights with yellow, dimer lights that will attract fewer insects.
Find and Seal all Hiding Places
Spiders are available in all sizes and colours. These insects are considered opportunists, looking for a chance to crawl into your property. Spiders usually enter a home in search of shelter and food.
To kill these eight-legged insects, the first step is to find their hiding spot. Spiders typically hide under plants, wood cracking and similar areas. You can find all these hiding places and seal them to prevent spider issues. To stop spiders from entering your home, you can seal up gaps, holes and cracks around your window frames and doors.
Additionally, it is recommended to place mesh coverings over vents and repair torn window screens.
Glue Traps
Killing a spider, especially redback spiders, can be a tricky and dirty approach. A shoe, fly swatter and rolled-up newspaper are certainly some useful tools to squish a tiny insect. However, this approach will smear your floors and walls, creating a dirty mess.
To avoid cleanup after a spider assassination, it is recommended to use glue traps. You can use these traps to catch spiders in your basements, attics, closets and several other areas.
Remove Debris
Some of the most favourite hiding places of a spider include compost bins, woodpiles, and plants. Most outdoor spiders will forge inside your home to find prey and shelter. However, if you remove the debris from your property, spiders won’t have anywhere to hide. As a result, they will have to find a new shelter.
Keep your House Clean
Pest control starts with you. If you keep your home clean, insects, including spiders, won’t invade your property. When it comes to spider treatments, regular decluttering goes a long way.
Generally speaking, spiders are not fond of humans. They will try to avoid people as much as possible. However, they can wander in our home by following an insect. So, if you clean your home and get rid of food scraps that might be attracting other pests, you can avoid dealing with spiders!
What People Say
“We moved into our first home over 2 years ago, and EPM pest control has been nothing short of reliable, friendly and all round amazing.
We usually have Eddy come by to do our termite and pest control, however we had Mahdi come out this time, and he was exceptional. Highly knowledgeable and so understanding of us having to work from home and working around us in our office space etc.
Highly recommend EPM pest control!“
"We contacted EPM after finding his professional informative website. Eddy contacted us rapidly and arrived at our house soon after. His inspection was thorough after we showed him the termite damage we had uncovered in one room. We opted for a complete barrier treatment around our house. We feel assured that Eddy uses the best quality products applied thoroughly. This treatment has given us peace of mind, our property is now protected against further damage. Our biggest regret is being in denial and not calling the very friendly Eddy a lot sooner as further renovations have uncovered evidence of more termite damage. I have no hesitation in recommending Eddy. He is patient, a great communicator, and his work is of the highest standard. Termites gone!”
“The technician that came and did the inspection and treatment was terrific! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Both my husband and I were very impressed with him. He had a great attitude and went out of his way to work in with us regarding the timing. It was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!“
