Spider protection in the home: how to keep uninvited guests away
Why do spiders come into the house at all?
Spiders are not pests that deliberately come into the house in search of food. They usually just seek shelter from the cold. However, some spider species also prefer the inside of buildings because they find safe retreats and a stable climate there. So if you want to get rid of spiders, you should make sure that there is no reason for the animals to take up residence in your home.
Prevention tips: How to prevent spiders from entering your home
- Automatic sprayer with EcoHome Spray
The automatic sprayer with EcoHome Spray not only keeps flies, mosquitoes and other flying insects away, but also spiders.
- Seal windows and doors
Spiders often find their way into the house through small cracks and gaps in windows, doors or walls. Seal such gaps to make access more difficult. Fly screens on windows and doors are also an effective barrier.
- Minimize light sources
Although spiders themselves are not attracted to light, insects that serve as spider food are. Therefore, draw the curtains in the evening or leave the light off near the window to keep insects out. - Clean regularly
A clean household acts as a deterrent to spiders. Regular vacuuming - especially in corners, under furniture and along walls - removes cobwebs and makes the environment less attractive to spiders. Dusting windowsills, picture frames and other surfaces also helps to drive spiders away.
Conclusion: The best protection is prevention
Regular cleaning and sealing is the best way to keep spiders out of your home permanently. In combination with natural repellents such as vinegar, citrus scent or lavender, you can ensure that spiders do not feel comfortable in your home and do not want to move in in the first place. While spiders are beneficial and keep many other insects at bay, if you don't want them in your home, these tips will help create a natural barrier and keep the little eight-legged creatures at bay.
