Spiders are common household creatures that eat small pests. When there are too many spiders in or around your home, though, they can cause problems, from an increased risk of being bitten to the inconvenience and nervousness they can cause. Below are the top four signs that you need spider control services for your home.

How to Tell Your Home Needs Spider Control Services

1. Noticing the Presence of Webs & Egg Sacs

While the occasional cobweb is unavoidable, if you begin seeing active spider webs with spiders in them throughout your home, you likely need to invest in spider control services. Egg sacs are another sign that you may be headed towards a spider infestation. Even if it’s only one and it’s outside your home, egg sacs can spill multiple baby spiders that will then be searching for a new place to stay. If they’re near your house, it could end up being infiltrated by several of them.

2. Seeing Baby Spiders Throughout Your Home

Similarly, seeing baby spiders around or in your home signals an impending spider problem. Since egg sacs hold more than one baby, seeing even a single baby spider means there are likely several more nearby. For them to be in your house when they’re small, it means that you had an egg sac hatch in or near your home, which indicates that spiders have been there for a while. Baby spiders also grow up to have babies of their own, multiplying the issue.

3. Finding Spiders Frequently

It’s not uncommon or worrisome to find one spider here or there throughout the time you spend in your home but finding spiders frequently – more than once a month – means that they’re finding ways into and could be reproducing in your home. This indicates that there could be even more spiders lurking around that you haven’t seen, so the problem could be worse than you might think.

4. Getting Bitten

One of the surest signs that you need an exterminator or residential pest control technician to service your house is being bitten. While not all spiders are venomous, bites can still cause adverse reactions, such as itching, swelling, redness, and pain. If you notice that you’ve been bitten by a spider, it could mean there’s an infestation inside your home, possibly in the room where you were bitten. Have an exterminator come out to treat your house and check for an infestation.
