Finding one spider web on your porch may seem like no big deal. After all, how much harm can one web do, right? But where there’s one web, more will follow.
There are several reasons why you might want to consider spider control in your home, including:
- Some Spiders Are Venomous. While some spiders are harmless to humans, others certainly are not. Venomous spiders, like the black widow, can inflict extremely painful and medically significant bites. Their venom may require urgent medical treatment, especially for children. Even non-venomous spider bites can provoke allergic reactions in some individuals or cause infections.
- They Can Contaminate Your Food and Water. Beyond their bite risk, out-of-control spider populations contaminate your home in other ways. They crawl across kitchen counters and appliances where you prep food, leaving traces of themselves behind. They also drink from bathroom sinks and set up webs above tubs you bathe in. Spider remnants can end up on surfaces, in your meals, and on your body. Gross!
- Too Many Spider Webs are Messy. It’s not just contamination concerns, though – it’s the mess of the webbing, too. Minus adequate spider control, these critters reproduce rapidly, and their uncontrolled populations leave silky webs dusting entire rooms. Wall corners, windows, light fixtures, and doorways become clogged with thick webbing as spiders take over your home. The thought of your hair brushing up against that sticky web in the doorway is enough to send shudders down your spine.
