Two of the most recognizable spiders found in Nevada include the “jumping” spider and the gigantic giant crab spider. Some venomous spiders are also seen, including the wolf spider, the brown recluse spider, and the black widow. Individuals are encouraged to avoid having direct contact with spiders and contact pest extermination professionals for assistance when needed.
We’ve put together some suggestions on how to keep spiders from getting into your home, to begin with:
1. Examine the property's exterior to detect any potential entry points, such as around the seals of windows and doors, and apply weatherstripping or caulk to fill them.
2. Place barriers over chimney, vents, and utility line pass-through spaces to help prevent spider entry.
3. Inspect bags, boxes, and other containers that you retrieve from garages or outdoor locations for the presence of spiders before bringing them inside.
4. Consider installing special bulbs in outdoor light fixtures that emit a color that is much less attractive to insects.
5. Keep vegetation and debris trimmed back away from the property’s exterior.
6. Promptly remove any spider webs that you notice to discourage them from remaining in the area.
Many property owners react nonchalantly when they notice the presence of spiders or other similar pests. One problem associated with these types of responses is that spiders will migrate toward settings and environments where they have access to prey; therefore, your property might be housing various other types of insects when you regularly notice spiders indoors.
Other property owners make the mistake of attempting to take matters into their own hands by visiting local home improvement stores or internet retailers to acquire do-it-yourself treatment options such as traps, baiting stations, and aerosol sprays. Many of these products are touted as being a fast and easy way to eradicate pests. In reality, many of these overhyped mass-marketed options result in mediocre and short-term results that prolong the presence of pests and create further frustration.
Promptly contacting a local pest control professional is the best response when spiders and other pests intrude to ensure the problem is safely and completely eliminated.
