Spider Wars: How To Win The Battle Against Arachnids In Sanger

Spiders are very common visitors to Sanger properties. They come in search of food, someplace to escape outside conditions, and moisture. While some of these spiders are nuisance species, some of them can be far more detrimental to a person’s well-being. There are relatively harmless species such as the cellar spider and wolf spider, but there are also dangerous ones such as the black widow. It’s imperative that property owners understand what attracts these pests and how they can best limit their exposure to them.

Spider Identification: How To Recognize Different Species

There are several different types of spiders in the Sanger area, but they’re not all the same. Here are some of the most common types and how to identify them:

Brown recluse spider: The name of this spider is very telling for two reasons: it aptly describes its coloring and its actions. The brown recluse is usually a light shade of brown and its abdomen may be stamped with a violin shape, but the exact style varies from spider to spider. The brown recluse spider usually stays outside and lives amidst yard debris and in the nooks of back decks. They will get drawn inside of homes if there is the promise of food, which comes in the form of different bugs. They prefer to be left alone but will deliver a venomous bite if they feel threatened.
Wolf spider: While the wolf spider might seem scary due to its large size, they are mostly considered a nuisance pest. They are covered in brown fuzz and usually enter properties stalking prey. If you are bitten by a wolf spider, it would likely only be painful and not serious.
Black widow spider: The black widow is perhaps one of the most notable species of spiders due to the folklore that their name brings. The females are a glossy black coloring and have a red hourglass on their abdomen while the males have red and white markings on their sides. The female is noted for waiting in her web until prey walks by, when she injects her venom to paralyze them. These spiders will hide in sheds, basements, and other quiet areas, but if they get disrupted, they may bite people.
American house spider: This very small spider can be easy to miss because of its size. The American house spider is the most common nuisance spider in the area and, like many other spiders, it is drawn into properties because of the promise of food. Its coloring can vary but may consist of yellows and grays.

Spider Problems: Why You Don't Want These Arachnids In Your Home

If there’s one pest that you want to keep out of your Sanger home, it’s spiders. While there are other problematic pests, spiders come with a host of their own significant issues. Some of the reasons why you don’t want spiders hanging around your home include:

Other potential pest problems: If you see spiders in your home, it’s often a strong indication that there are other pests present. Spiders eat pests like cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants, and flies. These pests come with their own health issues and other sorts of problems that you’ll want to avoid. Similarly, if you see any of these pests in your home, you should note that spiders might be on their way.
Health risks: There are some spiders that have venomous bites, like the brown recluse and black widow. While these spiders don’t actively seek human attention, if you do bother them or they feel threatened, they may deliver a venomous bite. Their bites can lead to difficulty breathing, nausea, muscle cramps, pain, and more.
Discomfort: Even if spiders are not a threat to your health, they may make your living spaces uncomfortable. They can create lots of webs that are unsightly and the debris that they create can impact the quality of air around your home.

Preventing Spider Infestations: Practical Tips And Tricks

The spiders in Sanger are the type of pest that slip into properties often without getting noticed. They come in search of dank conditions as well as food, which is in the form of other pests. Some of the pests that spiders eat include mosquitoes, flies, ants, gnats, and cockroaches. In order to prevent spiders from becoming a problem, homeowners ought to try a multifaceted approach that includes eliminating factors that attract prey as well.

Here are a few tips to try:

Clean up landscaping: Spider activity usually starts in the yard, so try to reduce harborage areas and other hiding places. Prune hedges and trees often, keep lawns at a short height, and make sure that any firewood is stored neatly and at least 25 feet away from exterior walls.
Be mindful of garbage: Trash is home to lots of food sources that are ripe for the picking for the pests that spiders eat. It’s important to always line trash bins with bags, keep a lid on the garbage at all times, and aim to never miss trash collection. It may also be helpful to thoroughly clean out bins to remove food residue.
Stay ahead of leaks and moisture: If there are areas of the home that are damp or home to leaky pipes, spiders might be on their way. Not only do they require a water source for sustenance but they also prefer to live amidst these conditions. The same is true for the pests that they eat. Check plumbing routinely to ensure that there are no issues, shut off showers completely after using them, and keep gutters free-flowing.
Seal off entry points: To keep spiders out of the house, it’s important to tend to all of the areas that they could potentially use to gain access. To that end, keep window screens in good condition, implement door sweeps where they are needed, and affix weather stripping to loose-fitting doors. It’s also advisable to fill in the cracks of foundations with materials such as silicone-based caulk.
Seek professional help: Because spiders are such a complex pest problem, the services of a trusted pest expert are going to be very useful. They’ll be able to provide customers with a holistic approach to solving these problems and will address spiders, the pests that lure them, and other conducive conditions.
