🍂 Did You Know Spiders Migrate Too? 🕷️
While birds fly south to escape the cold, spiders have their own fall migration — right into your home! We have the top 3 reasons why spiders seek shelter indoors during fall and learn easy tips to prevent them from taking over your space.
-#1 Following the Food: As temperatures drop in the fall, many pests, including spiders, migrate indoors in search of food. Spiders follow other pests into homes, as their prey also seeks warmth and shelter. If you're noticing more spiders, it could indicate other pests are already in your home.
- #2 Seeking Shelter and Warmth: Spiders seek warmth and shelter as temperatures drop, entering homes through tiny cracks and crevices. Gaps as small as 1/8th of an inch can allow spiders and other pests inside. Sealing entry points like broken screens and gaps under doors helps, but complete exclusion is difficult, so combining prevention with pest control is key.
-#3 Pests Are Left Unchecked and Allowed to Migrate: Unchecked pests can lead to major infestations, including spiders in the fall. When prevention steps aren't taken during summer, pests move indoors as temperatures drop. Setting up a barrier treatment around your home can help stop them from entering, reducing spider activity by eliminating their food sources and shelter opportunities.
