• Spider Eggs

  Spiders lay eggs within a silken egg sac that is often ball-shaped and either hidden in a web, affixed to a surface, or carried by the female.

• Spider Web

  All spiders produce silk, which is secreted as a liquid through the spinnerets and hardens on air contact. Spiders use silk for a variety of purposes. The simplest method of controlling spider infestation is to reduce the pest population (other insects) inside the home so they seek a more dependable food supply outside the home.

• Getting Rid of Spiders

  

  Control of spiders is best achieved by following an approach that involves multiple tactics, such as preventive measures, exclusion, sanitation, and chemicals applied to targeted sites. Treatment around the inside (i.e. baseboards, window sills, door frames lower level cupboards) and outside perimeter is necessary. Trimming back bushes and shrubs from the house will help to reduce insect activity around your home.

• Treating Spider Bites

  To prevent spider bites you can try the following: Shake out your clothes and shoes, inspect your bed and linen before use, tape the edges of cardboard boxes to prevent spider entry, and don't stack wood against your house, as this will allow the spiders access.
