Tips For Limiting Entry and Avoiding Future Problems
- Don't leave outside lights on for long periods as this will attract flying insects, which in turn attract spiders
- Reduce lumber piles, bricks, and other outdoor hiding places to a minimum, particularly close to the home
- Brush down spider webs when they occur
- Destroy visible spider egg sacs
- Use an attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove webs and individual spiders from walls
- Single spiders can also be relocated by simply trapping them in a cup and then releasing them outside
