<h1>Ways to Keep House Spiders Out</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Eric Richmond.aspx'>Eric Richmond</a></strong><br /><p>Spiders look like something from a scary nightmare and for many people there really is nothing quite as terrifying as seeing a spider in your bathroom sink, on the floor, the wall, or even the ceiling – about ready to drop on you. Spiders are some of the creepiest of the creepy-crawly pest line-up. For many keeping spiders out of your home has to be your top priority. These tips from Ransford Pest Control can help. - Remember to eliminate dust and clutter wherever possible. Spiders are looking for a safe place to live and hide, and the fewer spaces you give them, the less likely you are to see them. Vacuum in those hidden spaces like under the couch and under the bed too. - Look outside your home to see what might attract spiders (and other pests) in. If you keep bushes and plants well-trimmed and away from the foundation of your home, mulch and stone at least an inch or two out from the foundation, cracks and holes sealed, and screens on both windows and doors tight, you will have fewer problems with spiders. - Humid homes seem to attract more spiders. If you can, install a dehumidifier in your home, and you will be far less likely to have a large spider population. Understanding Spiders Even if you follow all of these tips, you may still see a stray spider or two. While it is always a good idea to contact pest control professionals if you think you have an ongoing problem with spiders, understanding a bit more about them may help you decide how serious the problem is. Thousands of spider species exist around the globe. They all have eight legs and two distinct body segments. Most about four pairs of eyes. They all, however, produce an elastic like silk that is strong enough to spin webs, make egg sacs, and even line their dwellings. The actual shape of the web, though, depends on the type of spider. Spiders, unlike cockroaches, are not always together. If you see one spider, you are not automatically infested. Moreover, while there are a few notable exceptions, few of the spiders that you will find inside are actually dangerous. Learning which ones are most common in your area may help you decide if your spider problem is very serious. If you do think you have a serious spider problem, grabbing a can of this or that at the hardware store is going to do you very little good. Instead, your best bet is to call a pest control professional for help immediately. They will be able to identify the type of spider infestation and target it with the ideal solution, keeping chemicals to a minimum. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Article Source: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ransfordpc.com/2013/10/3-ways-to-keep-spiders-out-of-your-home/">Ransford Pest</a><p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Ways-to-Keep-House-Spiders-Out_285162.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Ways to Keep House Spiders Out_285162.aspx</a></p>
