How To Keep Spiders Out Of Your Roseville Home

websitebuilder • May 08, 2023

The Types Of Spiders That May Find Their Way Into Your Home

There are many different spiders that you might encounter around your Roseville home. Some of the most common ones to look out for are:

  • Black Widows
  • Brown Recluse 
  • Wolf Spiders

There are also common house spiders, a broad category that refers to most of the spiders you come across in your home. These types of spiders are usually born inside and never make their way outside. So it's pretty normal to have some of these eight-legged critters in any home. Plus, they benefit us because they help control populations of other pests.

But let's be honest, all spiders are unwelcome in any home, even common house spiders!

Some Spiders Are More Dangerous Than Others

While all spiders have fangs and venom used to capture and subdue prey, most are not strong enough to affect people. However, it is important to note that some people are allergic to spider venom, so a bite from any spider can have a negative effect. 

Although spiders are helpful by preying on all sorts of insects, some species are more problematic than others. Two of the species we have mentioned are the only medically dangerous spiders in North America, the black widow and brown recluse. 

A bite from one of these spiders is rarely fatal due to access to medical attention and anti-venom. If you believe a black widow or brown recluse has bitten you, a child, or a pet, it is always best to seek medical attention.

Keep all types of spiders away from you and your family by using prevention tips recommended by the experts, which you can find below.

Six Eco-Friendly Spider Prevention Tips For Around The House

Spiders are predators, so they are common issues on properties where other pest pressures are present. Some of the best spider prevention methods focus on keeping out prey pests, which is why we want to share these six tips to prevent spiders and other pests:

  1. Look for and seal entry points like cracks in the foundation and exterior walls, gaps around window and door frames, missing screens, and uncovered vents. 
  2. Remove food that attracts prey pests like accessible garbage, crumbs, fallen fruit in your yard, and poorly stored food.
  3. Address excess moisture on the interior of your home by tending to any leaks, poor ventilation, and using dehumidifiers. And on the exterior, remove organic debris and unclog gutters.
  4. Properly store firewood and remove unnecessary debris like old tires, wheel barrels, and toys not being used because species like black widows prefer to build their webs in low ground places.
  5. Keep your home decluttered to eliminate harborage areas for pests and make it easier to clean up food debris.
  6. Knockdown webs regularly to deter spiders from living on your property. 

Remember, these tips help prevent spiders but won't help you eliminate an active problem. Here's what the experts at Patriot Pest Management recommend for ways to get rid of spiders.
