Tips for Control
|
| Regular removal of cellar spiders with a vacuum, brush or broom helps limit the numbers of spiders. Other steps may be helpful, including: |
 |
Sealing cracks and holes in the building's exterior. |
|
Installing tight-fitting screens in foundation and attic vents. |
|
Using yellow bug light bulbs in exterior light fixtures to attract fewer of the flying insects on which the spiders feed. |
|
Keeping garage doors and commercial overhead doors closed to exclude flying insects that serve as spiders food. |
| In cases involving considerable numbers of spiders or when control efforts are needed in crawl spaces, a professional company such as Diamond Pest Control should be consulted. |
