Attracting Spiders With Holiday Decor

Avoiding Natural Materials
One of the simplest ways to prevent attracting spiders is to reconsider the materials you use in your holiday decor. While natural items like pine cones, real wreaths, and fresh-cut trees have a certain appeal, they can also harbour insects and spiders. Synthetic alternatives can provide the same aesthetic without the risk of bringing in unwanted guests. Artificial trees and garlands are a great option because they don't contain the sap and organic material that might attract spiders. Plus, you can store them in airtight containers during the off-season, further minimizing the risk of infestation. If you do prefer using natural materials, try inspecting and shaking them out thoroughly before bringing them indoors. This can help dislodge any spiders that might be lurking within. At Truly Nolen, we always recommend homeowners consider how and where they store their holiday decorations. Keeping items in sealed plastic bins and storing them in climate-controlled areas can reduce the likelihood of a spider hitching a ride into your home. Not only does this protect your decorations, but it also helps maintain a clean and tidy storage area.The Importance of Lighting
