What attracts spiders to your home?
Often ask us what attracts spiders in the house and how to get rid of spiders. Being mindful of certain attractants will help you to proactively deter spiders from moving in and claiming your home as their own. Here are four common reasons spiders are entering your home:
- There is easy access to water. Certain spider species are attracted to damp environments. Common areas where you can find spiders in the house are basements, bathrooms, or other areas with standing water.
- Spiders are searching for food (other pests). If there is a food source within your home they can prey on, they will.
- Various weather conditions attract spiders. When it gets too hot, cold, or wet, spiders will seek shelter to protect themselves.
- They have easy access to enter your home. If there are any damaged areas within your home, they can crawl right in. This could be existing cracks, crevices, holes, or open doors and windows.
How to Help Keep Spiders Away
Get tough in the fight against spiders by following these simple tips:
- Remove spider webs with a broom or vacuum cleaner attachment.
- Keep trash, lumber piles, bricks, and other outdoor structures tidy to prevent spiders from making these areas their home.
- Trim trees and shrubbery so they do not make contact with your home. Not only are these great places for spiders to hide, but they also give spiders a quick and easy access point into the home.
- Routinely remove clutter in garages, basements, and storage areas where spiders like to hide indoors.
- Ensure your doors, windows, and window screens are sealed and intact.
- Eliminate food sources for spiders (other insects!) by cleaning up food and drink spills and storing all food in sealed, air-tight containers.
