How Can You Prevent Future Spider Infestations?

After our expert team at United Pest Solutions eliminates the current spider infestation in your home, it's important to take steps to prevent future infestations. Here are some tips to keep spiders away:

  • Seal cracks and crevices: Spiders can enter your home through even the smallest openings. Seal cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and windows to prevent them from getting in.
  • Remove clutter: Spiders love to hide in cluttered areas, so keep your home clean and organized to eliminate potential hiding spots.
  • Regularly clean: Dust and vacuum regularly to remove spider webs, eggs, and prey insects that attract spiders.
  • Outdoor maintenance: Trim bushes and trees near your home, keep outdoor lights off or use yellow sodium vapor lights, and remove debris from around your home to deter spiders from getting close.
  • Professional pest control: Consider scheduling regular pest control services to prevent future spider infestations and keep your home spider-free.

By following these preventative measures, you can keep your home free from spiders and enjoy a pest-free environment for you and your family.

Types of Spiders in Seattle

Seattle is home to a variety of spider species, most of which are harmless. However, some can cause concern due to their appearance or venomous bites. Here are a few common types of spiders you may encounter in the Seattle area:

Hobo Spider

  • Appearance: Brown with a pale stripe down the middle of its body and a herringbone pattern on its abdomen.
  • Concern: Known for their bite, though their danger has been debated. They are often found in basements and other dark, undisturbed areas.

Giant House Spider

  • Appearance: Large, brown spiders with long legs and a hairy appearance.
  • Concern: Despite their intimidating size, they are generally harmless and actually help control other insect populations.

Yellow Sac Spider

  • Appearance: Pale yellow or light green with a sac-like appearance.
  • Concern: They can deliver a mildly venomous bite, which may cause itching or discomfort.

Black Widow Spider

  • Appearance: Shiny black with a distinctive red hourglass shape on the underside of its abdomen.
  • Concern: Venomous and potentially dangerous. Bites can cause severe pain and other symptoms. Thankfully, they are not common in Seattle.

Orb-Weaver Spider

  • Appearance: Various colors, with large, round abdomens and long legs. Known for spinning intricate circular webs.
  • Concern: Completely harmless to humans, they are often spotted outdoors in gardens or near light sources.

Wolf Spider

  • Appearance: Brown, gray, or black with a robust, hairy body. Known for their excellent hunting skills rather than web-building.
  • Concern: While they may look scary, wolf spiders are not aggressive and their bites are rare and mild.

Common House Spider

  • Appearance: Small, brown, or gray spiders with round abdomens.
  • Concern: Harmless, these spiders are frequently found in homes and usually go unnoticed unless disturbed.

While most spiders in Seattle are beneficial in controlling other pests, it's important to be cautious with species like the Black Widow or Hobo Spider. If you're concerned about spider activity in your home, professional pest control can help identify and manage potential threats.
