Keep Spiders Out! Trusted Spider Control
Ventura County is home to various spider species, including black widows, orb-weavers, false widows, and tarantulas. Black widows often hide in garages and woodpiles, while false widows and tarantulas can be found around homes and yards. Orb-weavers spin large webs that can be a nuisance near entryways. While spiders help control insect populations, infestations can quickly become overwhelming. If you're noticing too many spiders around your home, our team knows how to safely remove them and prevent them from coming back. Contact us today for expert spider control and peace of mind!
How to Prevent Spider Infestations
​
Spider infestations are often caused by a combination of factors. Areas with an abundance of insects like flies and ants provide an ideal food source, attracting spiders. Poorly sealed entry points, such as cracks, gaps, or unsealed windows and doors, allow them to easily get inside. Cluttered spaces also offer excellent hiding spots, while overgrown vegetation around the home can act as a bridge for spiders to enter. Damp environments, like basements or bathrooms, are especially inviting for spiders seeking moisture. Additionally, seasonal changes, especially during colder months, can drive spiders indoors in search of warmth, leading to a higher risk of infestations.
​
Here’s a list to help prevent spider infestations:
-
Seal cracks, gaps, and entry points around your home or business.
-
Keep areas clutter-free to eliminate hiding spots.
-
Regularly dust and vacuum, removing any webs.
-
Reduce outdoor lighting to minimize insects that attract spiders.
-
Trim vegetation away from buildings and structures.
-
Store firewood away from your home or business.
-
Consider professional pest control services for long-term protection.
