As temperatures begin to warm up, it’s common to start noticing more spider activity around homes.
While spiders are often seen as the problem, they’re usually a sign of something else going on.
Spiders follow food.
As insect activity increases in the spring, spiders begin to show up in areas where food is available. This often includes:
• around exterior lighting
• along siding and eaves
• near entry points
• inside garages and basements
In many cases, the presence of spiders indicates that other insects are active in and around the structure.
Because of this, focusing only on spiders doesn’t usually address the root of the issue.
Effective control comes from reducing the underlying insect activity and maintaining a consistent exterior treatment around the home.
As overall pest pressure increases through the season, spider activity often follows the same pattern.
