How to Identify Spiders

Spiders rank right up there among the top human phobias. Though considered a beneficial “bug,” they are still creepy. If you have a spider infestation in your home, you surely want to get rid of them.

Few spiders in the Long Island and New York area are harmful to people. They play an important role in keeping insect populations in check. No spiders in our area have deadly venom, but the bites of some, such as Wolf Spiders, can be extremely painful. Getting rid of spiders and their unsightly webs is a common reason to call in an exterminator.

THE SIGNS OF Spiders

A large spider population in your structure is a red flag that you probably have other insect problems. Since spiders primarily eat insects, this food source must be prevalent. The chain of other pests that serve as spider food must be eliminated in order to impact your spider infestation. That is why it makes sense to call a professional and get a complete inspection. You will not only get rid of spiders but the insects they feed on and eliminate points of entry and conditions that support infestation.

THE RISKS OF Spiders

Spider infestations can be a risk on Long Island, NY, as these pests are attracted to warm, dark areas and can enter homes through small cracks and crevices. If left unchecked, a spider infestation can become a nuisance and pose a number of risks.
