Tempe’s Step-By-Step Guide To Effective Spider Control
In Tempe, it’s pretty common to find a few spiders in your home. However, they can become a serious problem when they spread and grow, especially when the poisonous spiders are infesting your home. When you notice an increased population of spiders in your home, it’s usually a sign of other pest infestations in your home, as spiders follow their food sources.
For effective spider control, you, of course, can implement the following prevention methods:
- Trim your lawn regularly.
- Store food in glass or air-tight containers.
- Vacuum, sanitize, and take the trash out often.
- Declutter around the home, and only store items in locking lid plastic boxes.
- Don’t store firewood in convenient places near your home, as they make great hiding places for spiders.
- Turn off your porch light at night.
- De-web inside and outside of your home.
- Address excess moisture inside and outside of the house.
- Store outdoor trash in sealed containers a safe distance away from your home.
