Most Spiders Are Harmless
Most spiders that you will find in your home are house spiders, which is a certain type of spider that specializes in living in indoor environments. Most spiders, including the house spider, are harmless; that being said, here in Colorado, you do have to watch out for black widow and brown recluse spiders, which are extremely poisonous.
Watch For Spider Hatchlings
Spiders lay hundreds of eggs in an egg sac. When these hatch in the spring, your home can be overrun with spiders. In this instance, it’s time to call for pest control services.
Be Wary Of Spider Entry Points
Spiders are extremely small creatures and can shrink their bodies to fit into tiny spaces. Common entry points for spiders include screens in windows, vents, and unsealed cracks in doorways, as well as crevices.
Clean Up Around Your Home
Spiders love to be left alone, which is why they like unused piles of wood and other items around your home to live in. These places tend to attract black widows and brown recluses, too. Remove these items in order to eliminate spiders and help prevent them from entering your Colorado Springs home.
