SPIDER INFESTATION TOO BIG TO MANAGE?

Eliminating Spider And The Threats They Pose

So How Do We Control Spiders?

Understanding that direct means of treatment are ineffective, makes us investigate their needs and habits to develop the treatment plan. Knowing that spiders generally reproduce based on available food resources (they don’t want to give birth to tons of competition when food is scarce) and that they usually rely on trapping or ambushing their prey, means that control is achieved by attacking their food supply rather than them directly.

Using repellents to eliminate the residual food supply immediately surrounding the home, combined with dusting down their webs with regularity will cause them not to breed. This cuts off the population from the bottom and since they don’t have anything to eat. They will then seek to relocate or succumb to starvation.

They spend their entire lives killing insects and prevent destructive pest insects from literally overrunning the planet.

They are also one of several links in the food chain of most eco systems being eaten by many birds, reptiles and small mammals. However, all that being said they are rather frightening to look at. They are generally regarded as a pest themselves and our Independent Pest Solutions technicians are often charged with the task of discouraging their presence.

Many factors prevent the direct treatment of spiders for control. They walk on the tips of their tarsus (claws at the ends of their legs) and do not drag along the ground so they are not in contact with a surface to be exposed to insecticide. Ants and wasps groom themselves to cleanse their antenna, rodents clean their fur which can aid in exposure and ingestion of a pesticide, but spiders do not. They do not consume whole prey like others do, they inject venom and literally liquefy their prey before slurping them up. So again, transfer of pesticide is minimal if at all.

Spider FAQs

I don’t care about the spiders outside, can you just spray something inside to keep the spiders out?

Unless you have a major ant or fly infestation from a food source inside, the spiders are wandering in by accident or chasing the structural warmth since they are cold-blooded.
Interior treatments for spider control are largely ineffective compared to the exterior treatments that will impact their food supply.

What’s the best way to prevent spiders?

Keeping the grass and foliage trimmed back from the house will deter most of the spiders’ presence due to a lack or harborage. If you add in regular applications of a repellent insecticide to further eliminate their food supply and dusting down the eaves to remove their webs, you can get control of the spider population. Just understand that it did not get that bad overnight and will not get that much better overnight it does take a little time.

Why can’t you just spray for spiders?

Spiders have little claws on the ends of their feet like walking on high heels. They do not groom themselves, do not communicate with a colony the way ants do, nor do they forage like many other pests. Thus, the mode of action on most insecticides will have little impact on them unless they were sprayed directly. Spiders are better controlled by modifying their environment.
