Spiders can be pesky during any time of the year, depending on where you live. Spiders can live in most climates, so no matter where you live, chances are that you will experience spiders in your home or commercial space. Spiders can be especially pesky during winter because they are looking for shelter from freezing temperatures. Here are some tips to help you prevent spider infestations this winter.
Seal Off Cracks
Sealing off small cracks and crevices in your home is one of the best ways to prevent a spider infestation. Spiders can fit inside even the smallest cracks, so if you have cracks within your walls in your home, spiders will have immediate easy access inside your home. When seasons change, it is a good idea to use caulk and some paint to seal off small crevices. This will definitely help you avoid a spider infestation.
Keep Outdoor Lights Off
Spiders aren’t attracted to lights, but their prey is. Flies and other small insects are attracted to lights, and spiders will therefore stay near those lights to catch their prey. If you have lanterns in your yard and other lights surrounding your home, these could be attracting spiders to your property. If you are experiencing a spider infestation, consider turning the lights off for a few days.
Vacuum Your Home
Vacuuming regularly can prevent a spider infestation before it even happens. Vacuuming will clean up spider webs and eggs before you even notice them. Make sure to get behind furniture and in small cracks, because that is where spiders tend to hide. Cleaning up food, waste and other debris will also keep spiders away from your home. Vacuuming at least once a week will help keep your home free of spiders this winter, and also during other seasons. Being neat and tidy is one of the best ways to keep spiders away.
