Along Came A Spider: 4 Signs You're Dealing With A Spider Infestation
If you hate spiders, now's the time to start inspecting your home for them. During the winter, spiders usually hide away where it's warm. However, once the weather warms up, they come out of hiding and start looking for places to take up residency. If you only have a couple of spiders around your home, you might not see them. If you have an infestation, you're going to know it.
You'll be seeing tell-tale signs all over your house. When you're dealing with a spider infestation, you need to contact an exterminator right away. Here are four signs that will tell you it's time to get professional help with your spider problem.
1. You're Running Into Spider Webs
If you can usually walk around your home and your yard without running into spider webs, but now you're running into them all over the place, you've probably got a spider infestation on your hands. It's a good idea to assume that each spider web is occupied by a spider. If you've got spider webs all over your home, it's time to call an exterminator.
2. You're Finding Egg Sacs
It's not uncommon to find an egg sac here or there in your home or yard. However, if you're finding egg sacs throughout the yard, and in your garage, it's a good indication that you're in the midst of a spider infestation. If you're finding egg sacs in the yard, and in the garage, you should start inspecting the inside of your home. If you find egg sacs in the house, you need an exterminator.
3. You're Seeing More Spiders
Spiders don't usually like to be out and about around people. They prefer to stay safely hidden away in the darkest corners of the house. If you're starting to see more spiders in your home, and you see them scatter when you turn the lights on in the garage or storage sheds, you've got an infestation on your hands. It's time for professional pest control services.
4. Your Neighbors Have an Infestation
If you haven't started seeing anything out of the ordinary, you might not be out of the woods just yet. Talk to your neighbors about any pest problems they've been experiencing. If your neighbors are experiencing a spider infestation, it's a smart idea to have your home treated for the pests as well. Spiders will move when they feel threatened. If your neighbors are dealing with a spider infestation, and they've begun treatment, you may end up an infestation of your own.
