Eliminating The Spider Infestation Inside Your Reno Home

When spiders crawl under a person's legs, they cause a certain amount of fear. This fear is backed by the simple fact that some types of spiders are dangerous. Now, not all species pose a direct threat to human health. In fact, most of these eight-legged pests are completely harmless to humans. However, there is no reason you should have to live with spiders inside your home. To deal directly with an infestation inside your home, talk to our team at Celtic Pest Control about our Reno pest control options. We would be happy to find a service that meets your pest control needs. To learn more about different kinds of spiders and methods to keep these pests out of your Reno home, keep reading.

What Kind Of Spiders Are There In Reno?

Reno has a wide selection of harmless spiders and a couple of dangerous spiders. Some of the most common species in our area are cellar spiders, house spiders, crevice spiders, and orb weaver spiders. Other less common but extremely harmful species are black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders. All of these eight-legged pests can be split into two main categories, ground spiders and web spiders. Ground spiders hunt from the ground and are fast on their feet. They use storage rooms, basements, and other cluttered areas to stay well hidden while hunting for other bugs indoors. Web spiders, on the other hand, build intricate webs and then wait nearby for bugs to fly or crawl into their trap. If you need help determining if the spiders in your home are dangerous or not, call our team. We will schedule a quick pest inspection to help you better understand your risk.

All The Places Spiders Like To Hide In Your Home

Different types of spiders like to hide in different areas. Ground spiders gravitate to basements, crawlspaces, and other secluded areas where they might find bugs to eat. It is not uncommon for homeowners to lift up a lamp and find one of these creepy pests hiding underneath it. Web spiders are more likely to be found in the corners of rooms where their nests are least likely to be messed with. Outside your home, you might find these pests building between trees, poles, or across the tops of tall grasses, bushes, and leaf piles. When moving things, check cracks and gaps between storage boxes first. This is a good way to spot a potentially dangerous spider before it bites your hand. In the same way, keep an eye out for unevenly shaped webs low to the ground. This could be the nest of a black widow, one of the most dangerous spiders in our area.

What Are Some Ways I Can Keep Spiders Out Of My Home?

Eliminating and preventing spiders are two entirely separate tasks. Elimination requires a deep knowledge of pest control strategies and access to industrial-grade products. Prevention can be done with elbow grease and a few items from the hardware store. Here are five methods we recommend you use to prevent spiders in your home.

1. Fill in gaps, holes, and other openings around your home's exterior using a caulking gun or some liquid cement.
2. Make sure your home's weatherstripping is installed properly and in good working condition.
3. Repair or replace damaged windows and doors and make sure they do not have gaps or cracks around them.
4. Invest in high-quality door sweeps for all exterior doors around your home.
5. Turn off exterior lights after it gets dark out. This is mostly to deter the pests that spiders invade to hunt.
