Afraid of those little red spiders that you saw in your house last night? The fear is obvious. These pests are just so terrorizing. but do you know what’s even worse? The spider’s nest. Now why these are worse, shall be discussed in a bit. But before we get there, let us tell you something. Control My Pest is always here to help you. We are IPM compliant, nature-loving pest control company. Plus, we wont charge you a fortune. Isnt that wonderful? We know, we are the best.
With that said, lets get back to the topic. In this blog, we shall be discussing what are spider nests and how to get rid of them. and at the end, we shall be looking at the last resort. ( it’s a surprise for you). So, read the blog till the end to find out. Lets get into it:
These nests are usually found in dark and secluded places, as these places are least likely to be disturbed. Spiders use the silk they spin to make these nests. And the same also severs as sacs to store the eggs. Apart from this, they also are temporary stands while waiting for pray or resting.
Nevertheless, in the United States of America, there are a bunch of known spiders who invade properties and build their nests. A few of these are, as mentioned below: the Sac Spider, little red spider, Orb Weaver Spider, Hobo Spiders, Funnelweb spiders, and cobweb spiders.
If you want to read more about the common spiders found in the USA, we suggest you read “What are different types of house spiders?”.
Getting back to the topic, each spider species has some variation in its nest. This is to say that each species has its way of weaving webs. The same can be noticed when you look at these nests closely.
Moving on, if these spiders’ nests aren’t handled correctly. It can cause an even worse infestation problem. let us explain how.
You see, one of the main purposes these nests serve is acting as a sac for holding eggs. And as we know it, on average a spider can lay as much as 1000 eggs. So, what this means is that these eggs will be laying safe and secure until they hatch. When they do hatch, the infestation will become worse.
“Worse” may be an underestimation of the situation. Nevertheless, now that you know how serious these can be. We shall be discussing how to get rid of them in the next section.
Furthermore, these are DIY, thus you won’t need to spend loads of money or get some special equipment. With that said, lets see what these methods are:
First on our list is of course the Spidercide. And why not. This is something that is specially developed to kill spiders. Spidercide is one of the easiest and most effective methods to get rid of spider nests.
The best part is, they can be easily found at any supermarket or convince store. Once you have your hand one of these, all you need to do is spray it over the affected area. And it will help you get rid of those eight-legged monsters.
Moreover, you should pay special attention to the sidings, crevices, cracks, holes, and those gaps on your walls. These places are most likely to contain little red spider’s nests. This should be enough to get rid of these pests.
2. Vacuum Cleaner
If you can’t get your hand on Spidercide or even insecticide, there is yet another easy way to deal with these pests. It is known as Vacuum Cleaner. Now, you can use your vacuum in two different ways. You can either use it as a preventive tool and can use it as a DIY quick solution. Let us discuss both, turn by turn:
Some of the first options, namely a preventive measure works as such: use your vacuum cleaner like you always do. Yead, you read that right. Use the cleaner to suck up all the dirt, crumbs, dust, grime, and anything else that doesn’t below there. How this helps is that these are the things that attract those spiders to your house. and if you eliminate the same. You have won.
Moving on, lets see how the second one works. The DIY quick solution is even easier than the last one. You see, all you have to do is put the straight mouth on your vacuum and lengthen the tube as much as possible. now, point it towards all the webs and nests, and it will suck them up. Like we said before, pay special attention to those sidings, crevices, cracks, holes, and those gaps on your walls.
With this, we are done. Your vacuum has helped you temporarily deal with these nasty spiders.
3. Duster
What did people use, before Vacuums were invented? You are right, they used dusters. So, for some reason why can’t use your vacuum cleaner to fight these pests, take the old town road, and grab a duster.
Take a soft duster, and get to work. As we know, these things can reach all those secluded places in corners, cracks, and gaps. While this can quite tiring, it will get the work done. After all, DIYs don’t cost money, but they do cost something right?
When everything else fails, it’s time to activate the last option. You see, these methods are good and well. But something nothing works. It isn’t your mistake, it isn’t anyone else’s. This is how things are. But there has to be a solution, right?
