As late summer transitions into autumn, many homeowners notice a rise in spider activity indoors. This increase is largely because spiders are seeking shelter from cooling outdoor temperatures, especially during their mating season. Fortunately, there are two straightforward and effective expert tips to help you keep these eight-legged visitors at bay.
First, maintain a clean and clutter-free home. Spiders love hiding in undisturbed areas such as piles of clothes, cardboard boxes, and dusty corners. Regular vacuuming and decluttering eliminate potential spider hideouts and remove webs and egg sacs, reducing their chances of settling inside.
Second, seal entry points around your home. Check windows, doors, and any cracks or gaps in walls and foundations, and use weatherstripping or caulk to close them off. This helps prevent spiders and other insects they prey on from entering, shrinking their available habitat.
