If you notice a spider infestation in your house, you need an expert pest control company to solve the problem. 24-7 Animal & Pest Control in Saint Louis, MO, offers the following tips to help you determine what type of spider is invading your home. Then, their team will devise a safe and effective strategy to remove these bugs for good.

Here are three ways to tell what type of spiders are invading your home:

  • pest-controlExamine The Color: There are several varieties of common household spiders. In fact, some are so common that they are referred to as American House Spiders. Most are brown but they can also be red, gray, and black. These common spiders are what most people find in their homes, and, although they may be unpleasant, they are also harmless.
  • Determine If They Are Male Or Female: Female spiders are larger than males. The female may be 5 to 8 millimeters whereas the male may only be 4 millimeters. The females will lay up to 250 eggs at one time in a brown silk sack. Common male and female house spiders will mate numerous times and cohabitate. That is not the case with other species of spiders.
  • Search For Cobwebs: The common house spider will make webs in their search for prey. Look for signs of webs in windows, light fixtures, doorways, and ceiling corners.

If you notice spiders living in your home, contact 24-7 Animal & Pest Control immediately. Invest in their Traditional Quarterly services where they will lay down a few non-toxic glue traps as an initial round of pest control. These exterminators will place them where you’ve previously seen spiders and then examine the remains to determine the type of spider and the best course of pest control action for your home.
