Professional Pest Control Answers
It’s common that spiders will “float” in the air with their webs climbing easily into any crack they can find on upper levels.
Baby spiders are even able to fit into the screening of windows that are left open.
Many people over look their back patios. Even though a back patio is smaller and does not have contact with the ground, trees can often brush against the walls and lead way for spiders of all kinds. With that being said, patio screens should be checked and maintained regularly. Insure that it is set on the track correctly, that there are no gaps in the closer, or tears in any screen door or window.
Ever think that you were they one bringing them into the house? Or what about your beloved pet. It is very common that the spiders will cling right onto your clothing, groceries, and pets, while entering the home.
Don’t forget about the plants. As greenery has become a fast moving trend as it should, they also bring with them tiny pests. Spiders can be lurking among the leaves of plants. Give plants that you are bringing into, or though the house a good once over before entering.
