Spiders are without any doubt one of the most feared pests in the world. The fear of spiders is so much that it is ranked as one of the top phobias in the U.S.

Although spiders are shown as deadly creatures in Hollywood horror movies, these little critters are not as bad as the movies make them sound. Yet the fear that the movies have instilled in our heads isn’t going to go away, not any time soon.

More than that, it is actually a very good idea to keep spider population check at your home, especially if you’re in Texas where spiders are the most commonly found house pests.

These little crawlers often provide protection against other pests, but if they are in large quantities, they can cause your food to go bad in the kitchen and pose various other threats, especially if you are dealing with a nasty species.

If you don’t like spiders invading your home, just like any of us, use these preventative measures.

Seal any cracks you find around your home

The most common places from where spiders come into your home are cracks. These cracks can appear anywhere in your home ranging from broken windows, doors, walls, or cracks in the siding.

If you can get your home inspected by professionals, which would be the perfect thing to do. But if you cannot for some reason, then, by all means, try to seal these cracks as soon as possible using whatever material you can get your hands on.

Keep your basement and attic clean

Spiders love secluded areas where they can live in peace and build a web so they can catch prey and live happily without any interference by humans. But this also means that they get to breed here and bring in more of their friends to start a complete infestation.

To make sure that doesn’t happen, keep your attic and basement clean and clutter free. When you’re cleaning these areas, you will naturally get rid of places where spiders can make a home. This will easily cause them to leave the area and find somewhere else to live.

Check stuff being brought from outside

If you bring a lot of things to your home every day because of your work requirement or for whatever reason you have, try and look for any signs of spiders on these things. Make sure that spiders don’t come to your home uninvited this way.
