Spiders - Pest Control In Holland, MI

How To Identify Spiders

Spiders are one of the easiest pests to identify within your home. Typically, webs appear near hard-to-reach corners of homes. Spiders like to be left alone, so you’ll often find them in darker, low-traffic areas that you may not often look to, such as cupboards, basements, and attics. As mentioned, like humans, spiders don’t like the cold, and they begin to seek warmer areas as the winter months begin. If you have other insects making a home within your house, spiders may also seek these insects for food.

Damage Caused By Spiders

While spiders typically do not cause structural damage to the home, there are a few ways they can cause harm, whether apparent or not. As most people know, when spiders feel threatened, they will often bite humans. Depending on the type of spider, this can lead to swelling, or in the worst cases, death. Some types of spiders can be harmful for plants by deterring bugs that would otherwise pollinate them. Last but not least, we usually don’t encounter most spiders in our home. In spring, spiders often begin to mate, and prefer to lay their eggs within warm areas, which can lead to worse spider infestations that can become far more obvious later on.

How Empire Pest Control Tackles A Spider Infestation

Typically, spider treatment can be approached from indoors and outdoors. Wherever the problem starts, it’s a good idea to evaluate the problem from both angles. An indoor treatment can help eliminate spiders that have already entered the property, while both can be helpful in keeping them out altogether. We typically use chemical treatments along with a thorough search into less-often noticed areas to control or remove the pests from the property.
