If you feel like every time you turn around you encounter another cobweb, you’re not alone. Pest control companies are fielding an increased number of calls for spider infestations. While these creatures commonly enter homes in small numbers, you may have more and more making themselves comfortable in your living quarters. Select Pest Control has been specializing in spider, bedbug, and termite control for over 30 years in Cincinnati, OH.

Below they share three reasons homes may be seeing more spiders:

• Increased Insect Populations: Like any other creature, spiders need a steady food supply to survive. Experts claim insect populations have increased this year; this gives spiders a robust food source.
• Inclement Weather Conditions: In addition to the increased insect populations, this year has seen intense rains. Spiders have little interest in staying outside during inclement weather and will take shelter in the nearest possible structure. With the current elevation in precipitation and temperature, spiders are heading indoors in droves. 
• Excess Amount of Openings: Finally, homeowners are failing to identify access points for critters. Leaving screens open to let a breeze in or failing to patch even the smallest of cracks in your structure gives spiders a welcome mat to enter your home. Taking the time to close screens and addressing any openings will dramatically reduce the problem.
