How Professional Pest Control Can Help With Spider Infestations

10 months ago 29

DIY pest control can be ineffective, not to mention dangerous. If spiders have taken over your home, learn how a pest control service can assist you.

Spiders are one of nature's most effective pest controllers. They keep pests like mosquitoes, flies and even mice from becoming too numerous. Unfortunately, spiders can themselves become household pests when they infest homes in large numbers.


DIY pest control can be ineffective, not to mention dangerous, especially when dealing with venomous spiders. If spiders have taken over your home, a pest control service can assist you in many useful ways.


Species identification


Australia is home to about  2000 species of spider . Fortunately, only a handful of those species are venomous. The venomous spiders that you don't want in and around your home or building are:

?

Redback spiders White-tailed spiders


Many other species of spider can infest homes too when the conditions are right, such as:


Brown house spiders Black house spiders Daddy long legs spiders Huntsman spiders Wolf spiders


Sometimes, spider species can be difficult to tell apart. This is the primary reason to hire a professional pest control service when dealing with a spider problem. A pest control service can help you to avoid a potential bite from a venomous spider.


Spider removal


Spider removal can be difficult and messy. This is especially true when the spider you need to remove is fast-moving. Fast-moving spiders like huntsman spiders, wolf spiders and white-tailed spiders can escape and move into other areas of your home. A pest control service that specializes in spider removal has the tools and experience to deal with fast-moving spiders.


Entry point identification and removal


A pest control professional will seek to determine how spiders are getting into your home or building too. With an inspection of your home's walls, roof space, windows and doors, professionals can identify probable entry points.


Identification of causal factors


You need to know why spiders have taken an interest in your home or building. Spiders will gravitate toward buildings with:


A plentiful food source (insects) Shelter (clutter and seldom used rooms) Plentiful entry points An environment safe for breeding


If you remove the spider-friendly conditions from your home, spiders will be less likely to invade. A pest control professional can find out why spiders choose to enter your home. If the cause of your spider problem is insects, a professional can deal with the insect problem. A pest control professional can also give you advice on how to avoid attracting spiders in future.


Preventative treatment for high-risk areas


Once your spider problem is eradicated, you need to prevent spiders from returning. One way to do this is with preventative treatment. For instance, a pest control professional can treat areas where redback spiders build their webs, such as:


Bin handles Furniture Garden tools Barbecue grills Letterboxes


With regular preventative treatment, such as spray application, you can keep spiders away from your yard and home.


Professional advice on living alongside spiders


You can't eradicate spiders from around your home entirely. But you can learn to live alongside them without attracting them to your home or encountering them on a regular basis. A professional can give you advice on how to live safely and comfortably with spiders.
