Four Tips for Effective Spider Control
- Keep Your Porch Clutter-Free: A cluttered front porch is a welcome mat for spiders. These arachnids love to weave their webs in undisturbed corners and cracks. By keeping your porch tidy, you can eliminate some of their favourite hiding places. Sweep leaves, debris, and unnecessary items regularly. Don't forget to clean up those forgotten corners, too! Spiders thrive in neglected areas.
- Seal Entry Points into Your Home: Spiders often enter your home through tiny cracks and gaps around doors and windows. To prevent this, inspect your porch for potential entry points and seal them. Weather stripping and caulk are your best friends in this endeavour. Pay close attention to areas where utility lines enter your home, as these are common entry points for spiders and other pests. By closing off these pathways, you'll make it much harder for spiders to invade your living space.
- Keep Porch Lights Off at Night: While porch lights are essential for safety and aesthetics, they can attract insects, which attract spiders. Spiders are opportunistic predators, and they'll happily set up shop near a light source to catch their prey. To deter them, consider switching to yellow or sodium vapour lights, which are less attractive to insects. Alternatively, install motion-activated lights that only illuminate when needed, reducing the spider's food supply and discouraging them from hanging around.
- Create Natural Repellents: Spiders have a strong aversion to certain scents and substances. Make natural repellents using ingredients like peppermint oil, vinegar, or citrus peels. Mix these ingredients with water and spray the solution around your porch and entry points.
