The autumn of the year brings with it cool, crisp air, blushing autumn leaves, bonfires, and football games. However, what autumn also brings with it is spiders trying to crawl into and set up house in your own home. For some reason, the number of spiders tends to increase in the fall of the year. Male spiders will try to make their way into your home looking for a female to mate with. This means you may find one in your kitchen sink, on your window, or even on your pillow if you aren’t careful. Calling in reputable Elk Grove pest control is one way to stop the arachnids from invading. There are also ways to ward off spiders in the fall of the year, however, read on below to find out how.
Keep Your Home Clean and Uncluttered
The first line of defense against spiders is to keep your home clean. Bits of food that you leave lying around will attract roaches and ants; those things attract spiders to eat them. Make sure that any spiders you find, you vacuum their webs and their eggs up and dispose of them as well. You can also call in Elk Grove pest control to treat the home if you have seen any signs of spiders.
Move Plants and Debris from the Side of Your Home
Spiders enjoy hiding inside plants, vegetation and other debris that might be stacked up on the side of your home. In the summer that’s not so bad. However, in the autumn of the year, the spider might decide to move into your home before it gets cold.
These are just a couple of ways that you can ward off spiders in the autumn months. For more information, and to treat your home, contact the professionals at Apex Pest Control Inc. today.
