Mesa Spider Control

While some pests, such as cockroaches, are completely unwelcome to humans, spiders do have a more beneficial purpose in getting rid of overpopulated insect species, from flies to gnats. However, even though spiders do have an important purpose outdoors, nobody wants an infestation of these eight-legged creatures filling the house with cobwebs. Not only are spiders messy critters, but the bites of certain species can create serious health issues.

If you are noticing a few too many spiders in your house, it is important to take action right away. Spiders are prolific producers, and you may have thousands of baby spiders spinning webs in your house. When you have a spider infestation on your hands, reach out to Defense Pest Control as soon as possible. Our devoted professionals can offer effective Mesa spider control to ensure that your house stays spider free all year round.

Identifying Common Spiders in Your Home

To identify the type of spider issue you are dealing with, it is important to know some of the most common kinds of species that could be lurking within your house.

In Arizona homes, our experts have found that owners especially deal with the following types of spiders:

• Common House Spider – Even though a bite from these kinds of spiders does not cause much of a health risk, house spiders are known for being some of the messiest creatures around. If you notice that windowsills, picture frames, ceiling corners, appliances, and furniture are filled with webs, you likely have a house spider infestation.
• Black Widow – Black Widows are known for being especially harmful to humans. The bite of these spiders can often cause extensive illnesses and pain, particularly if the victim is an elderly person or a child.
• Brown Recluses – Although Brown Recluses are not usually known for causing fatalities, unless the victim has an allergy, the bite of these spiders is extremely severe and leads to excruciating ulcers.

How Can I Prevent Spiders From Entering My Home?

Here are some tips to help prevent spiders from entering your home:

• Seal Cracks and Gaps: Use caulk to seal cracks in your walls, foundation, and around windows and doors.
• Install Screens: Ensure that all windows and doors have tight-fitting screens without holes.
• Keep Your Home Clean: Regularly vacuum and dust to remove webs, eggs, and potential food sources.
• Remove Clutter: Keep areas like basements, attics, and garages organized and free of clutter where spiders can hide.
• Use Natural Repellents: Spray essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, or tea tree oil around entry points and corners.
• Turn Off Outdoor Lights: Outdoor lights can attract insects, which in turn attract spiders. Turn off unnecessary lights or use yellow sodium vapor lights.
• Trim Vegetation: Keep bushes, trees, and plants trimmed away from your house to reduce the number of spiders that find their way inside.
• Store Food Properly: Keep food, especially sweet items, sealed to prevent attracting insects that spiders prey on.
• Use Sticky Traps: Place sticky traps in areas where spiders are commonly seen.
• Regular Pest Control: Consider periodic professional pest control treatments to keep spiders and other insects at bay.
