Year-Round Spider Control Solutions from Mosquito Squad
Think spiders only show up during a certain part of the year? Think again. Around here, spiders find reasons to sneak into homes all year long. From escaping the scorching summer sun to finding warmth when winter hits, these persistent pests are surprisingly resourceful.
At Mosquito Squad of Oklahoma City, we know how frustrating it is to see spiders roaming across your floors or popping up in corners. We hear it all the time: "Why are there so many spiders in my house?" The truth is, there’s no single answer – but there is a dependable solution. A consistent spider control plan, tailored to the seasons, can make a big difference in keeping your space more comfortable.
Spring & Summer: Seeking Shade and a Snack
During Oklahoma's hot summers, spiders are just looking for a break from the heat. Your air-conditioned home makes an appealing hideout, especially if it comes with a buffet of bugs. Common house spiders, wolf spiders, and even jumping spiders often find their way indoors this time of year, setting up shop in quiet corners and along baseboards.
Outside, shady spots like patios, decks, and garden sheds offer prime real estate for web-building. Cutting back plants and clearing clutter can help, but to really stay ahead of spider activity, targeted treatments offer an added layer of defense.
Fall & Winter: Looking for Shelter
As temperatures start to dip, spiders begin looking for a warm place to ride out the cold. Unfortunately, that often means they’re moving in with you. Brown recluses and black widows in particular tend to hunker down in basements, attics, or behind storage boxes where they’re less likely to be disturbed.
Even if you’re not seeing them, it doesn’t mean they aren’t around. Some spiders lay egg sacs in fall that don’t hatch until spring, so what you don’t take care of now can come back to surprise you later. That’s why winter pest control is just as important as summertime service.
What Makes Spiders Feel at Home?
There are a few key factors that tend to draw spiders in and keep them around:
- A steady supply of other bugs (flies, beetles, ants, etc.)
- Quiet, cluttered places like garages and storage areas
- Cardboard boxes, stacks of paper, or other hiding spots
- Cracks around windows, doors, and siding
- Damp basements, leaky faucets, or humid spaces
Tackling these issues, along with professional pest control, can make a big impact.
