Spider Control Tips For the Home Owner
By Mike Brandenburg
One of my favorite pests. I say that tongue and cheek because as the Orkin Man, I truly made 80% of my living selling the ability to drive spiders away. Yes, I know there are some truly nasty spiders in different parts of the country. Realistically speaking though, a spider is a spider. In most cases, they are just like you and I. Looking for a bite to eat and a place to stay dry. I have never run into or heard stories of anything like the movie "Arachnid" where the spider has a brain and is out to kill off the human race. Most of these guys are just looking to eke out the next day without getting stepped on.
Prevention: As with all pests, the best prevention is home maintenance. While I am in the habit of looking around my home at least twice a month, many homeowners may never actually inspect their home. With spiders, this is especially a good habit to get into because of their webbing. When you do your routine walk around, and walk through (inside), take a long handled broom.
Check the eaves as well as the foundation outside and look up in the corners of the interior walls. You are looking for any signs of spider webs. If you have followed some of my instructions from Landscaping this should only take a couple of minutes. If you find webs, brush them away with the broom. If you find spiders... your choice... squish or get a paper plate, scoop them up and let them go in another part of the yard. Believe it or not, that is about all you can do. I used to have customers ask me, "will they ever come back?".
The answer is yes. Spiders, while they are not as cute as we would like them, live on this planet just like we do, and as I said before, are just looking to keep fed and dry. Spiders are also very beneficial to our eco-system. They are a major predator of mosquitoes and other flying insects. Here is the "fly in the ointment" if you will... by reducing the number of spiders around your home, you will find an increased number of pesky flying insects: gnats, flies, mosquitoes, etc. If you follow this advice, you will have less spiders!

A Natural Spider Repellent to Use in Your Home
By: Reuben Rock
Spiders are common pests that for the most part are harmless. They are really good for gardens, but people don't like having them in their homes or on their patios. Because they know that the spiders are merely a nuisance, they search for natural spider repellent that will keep them at bay without causing harm to the spiders themselves. Since spiders love dust, they will start to build their webs in areas where there is dust, such as in a corner of the ceiling in a room. One method of effective spider control is to dust all areas of your home on a weekly basis, which means doing a sweep of the ceilings and the light fixtures.
You will find a lot of spiders on the railings of your porch or patio during the warm summer months. One of the natural repellents for spiders that has been used for decades is the lowly osage hedgeball. It grows on the hedgeapple tree and many supermarkets have them in the produce section as insect repellents for the home. You can place them in cupboards or outdoors without having to lay them in a dish or container. As they age they do not leave any residue or odor and are safe for children and pets because they are not poisonous.
Another natural way of doing spider control in and around your home is to mix vinegar and coconut oil and spray the area. There is also a recipe you can use to create the perfect natural repellent for spiders if they are posing a problem for you. The ingredients are:
1 quart of water
5 tablespoons of liquid natural soap
1 ounce of neem oil
A few drops of either lavender or tea tree oil
Mix all these ingredients together in a spray bottle and spray the area where you have spiders. This will not harm the spiders at all and will drive them away. This is because spiders have sensors in their legs and they do not stay in an area treated with this mixture. No one really knows why, but obviously they do not like the taste or the smell.
