Spider Control

Three Steps to Better Spider Control

Since most spiders are ‘beneficial critters’, it is generally not necessary that you utilize spider repellents or insecticides for spider control. In fact, step #1 is easy, completely free and will usually take care of any spider problems that might occur in your home. If necessary, steps #2 and #3 will take care of more serious spider control problems:

1. Regularly clean your home and brush spider webs off the outside of your home with a broom or a vacuum. Remove spiders’ hiding spots when possible. In storage areas, place boxes on shelves above the floors and as far away from walls as possible.
   
2. Prevent spiders from coming inside your home by sealing the cracks of your home’s foundation as well as any gaps around windows and doors.
   
3. If a need for heavy spider extermination occurs, then you may choose to control them with the following spider control products that you can easily use yourself:

Recommended Products for Spiders:

1. Spray a liquid insecticide concentrate such as Suspend SC, Cyper WP or Demon WP around the perimeter of the building, and around windows and doors and other entry points. You can also spray inside along the baseboards and in the upper corners and bottom corners of walls. This is especially important in the garage and/or basement.

2. For heavier infestations dusting with an insecticide dust such as Delta Dust may also be needed. Dust in attics and under baseboards and in wall voids.
