How Surprise Residents Can Tell If They Have A Spider Infestation

Spider infestations may not always be apparent right away because most types of spiders that infest homes prefer to keep their distance from people. To help you identify this pest in your home, here are several signs you can look for that may indicate an infestation:

• Webs: Webs are often the first sign of spiders in any home. Familiar places to see spider webs are in the corners of rooms, window frames, garages, basements, under furniture, and other lightly-trafficked areas.
• Egg sacs: Along with webs, you might also see small white balls; these are egg sacs and are a sure sign that spiders are or will be an issue.
• Prey pests: If you are experiencing other pest problems in your home, there is a good chance that spiders will be present, too, as they are predators and look for a place where there is plenty of prey to catch.

If you see any of these signs or are seeing spiders, you should contact us at Green Home Pest Control so we can assist with getting rid of them.

Stopping Nuisance Spiders From Invading Your Surprise Home

Common house spiders is a term used to cover many species of tiny spiders. These spiders live indoors better than outdoors, are usually born inside, and never make their way out. They are also not considered dangerous to people, so they are nuisance pests. However, this doesn't mean they should be allowed to live in your home. 

To keep spiders out of your home, you should focus on keeping other insects out. Doing this will reduce the prey pests available to spiders and eliminate spider entry points and conditions. Here are a few tips to keep prey pests and spiders out of your home:

• Remove food sources like crumbs and poorly stored food. 
• Reduce moisture using dehumidifiers, repair any leaking pipes or fixtures, and remove organic debris from your yard.
• Keep outdoor lights off at night to deter pests that are attracted to them.
• Eliminate harborage areas by keeping your home and yard organized.
• Remove dead trees, stumps, and leaves from your yard.

Why Even Non-Venomous Spider Infestations In Surprise Can Be Dangerous

All spiders have fangs and venom, but almost all of the common spiders you will encounter are not venomous to people. But even spiders that aren't venomous to people can be dangerous. One reason is that some people are allergic to spiders, so that a bite can cause a severe reaction, including anaphylactic shock. 

Another reason is that a spider bite can leave an itchy bump, leading to secondary infection if scratched too much. Not to mention how much stress dealing with spiders can cause you and your family, which can also exacerbate other health issues such as insomnia. 

Also, as mentioned previously, spiders are commonly an issue in homes with other pest problems, and some of these pests can be dangerous. 

As you can see, dealing with any spiders in your home is bad news, so don't wait to take action to eliminate them and the conditions that make your property attractive to these critters.
