From seeing a web tucked away in the corner of your bedroom to finding a spider running across your kitchen floor, these eight-legged guests can cause far more anxiety than their size would suggest. Homeowners tend to grab household sprays or try a DIY method they found online, cringing for a miracle solution.
We get it, spider problems can be frustrating to deal with on your own, but removing them without the right expertise and equipment usually results in half a job and spiders coming back over and over again. However, a professional exterminator in Eagle ensures that spiders are entirely removed and do not become regular visitors inside your home, keeping spiders at bay for a long time in the long run.
Why Is Spider Removal On Your Own a Bad Idea?
- Limited Knowledge of Spider Species
Of course, the bulk of homeowners cannot tell the difference between harmless house spiders and almost deadlier species. Without the ability to identify threats, you have a risk of either using an inappropriate treatment method or underestimating a serious and immediately lethal threat.
- Incomplete Treatment Approaches
Most DIY solutions only take care of the spiders we see; however, they do not address the root issue. When treating themselves with these products, research shows that around 78% of infestations will return within three months.
- Safety Concerns with Chemical Products
Synthetic pesticides available at retail stores are usually not safe for family members and household pets. When misused, people might expose themselves to the toxic agents without benefiting from them.
- Missing Hidden Breeding Areas
Spiders make homes in hard-to-reach places like wall voids, attic spaces, and basement crevices. Amateur removal efforts rarely target these vital breeding and nesting sites.
- Inadequate Prevention Measures
In order to fight them effectively, you need to know how they get into our houses and where they get their food. Studies have shown that 65% of DIY solutions are ineffective because they do not consider the environmental factors that attract spiders to homes.
Risk of Spiders In Homes
- Poisonous Bites: Some spider species have bites that induce strong reactions, affecting the skin, systemic cascade of side effects, or a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
- Allergic Reactions: Although spider bites are most commonly associated with venom, even bites from non-venomous spiders can cause a reaction in people who are sensitive to them, including swelling, itching, and breathing difficulties
- Secondary Infections: If spider bite wounds are not treated, they can become infected and lead to other health problems that may need a doctor’s intervention
- Psychological Effects: Millions pass through life with arachnophobia, which brings anxiety and stress into homes and often keeps them up at night.
- Structural Damage: Where there are swarms of spiders, there are often other pests, as spiders consume insects, which means that their prey could be chewing away at the house’s framework.
- Web Buildup: Large spider webs lead to unsanitary conditions and visual issues, especially in food preparation or storage areas
