How to Keep Spiders out Your House
Spiders are carnivores. They’re not here for your leftovers; they’re here for the real pests: ants, flies, moths, and earwigs. If you have a bug problem, you have a spider magnet.
Keep your kitchen counters crumb-free. Take out the trash regularly. And for the love of all that is holy, don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight. That’s basically a bug rave, and spiders are the bouncers.
Consider a bug zapper near doors or sticky traps in corners to monitor what’s crawling around. Fewer snacks for spiders = fewer spiders. Math doesn’t lie.
Light Strategy: Turn Off the Welcome Mat
Outdoor lights near doors are spider nightclubs. Bugs flock to them, and spiders flock to the bugs. Switch to yellow or sodium vapor bulbs—they’re less attractive to insects.
Even better, install motion-sensor lights that only turn on when you actually need them. Spiders hate surprises almost as much as you do. Keep it dark, keep it boring.
