Have you ever rushed out early on a cold spring morning, jumped into your car, shut the door and come face to face with a spider inside the car with you?
There are about a dozen common spider species you can find on Long Island. The spiders we find in our outdoor environment are very beneficial, but once they come into our home environment we can get very uneasy. Most house spiders consume a variety of insects. They like to nest in areas where they can find their food – flying insects. You may find spiders in cabinets, basements, garages or any dark area of your home. If your house has a spider infestation then most likely those spiders have a prevalent food source – lots of pests and insects. Treating those pests and insects will help control the spider infestation.
Tips:
We recommend cleaning those areas with a vacuum and disposing of the bag. Also any type of lighting may attract flying insects, so check those areas for webs also. We also recommend consulting with a professional to treat your house to keep household insects to a minimum so the spiders will not have any food to eat.
Although most common house spiders are harmless to humans, some can bite. If you think you have been bitten by a spider consult your physician. A black widow or brown recluse spider bite could give you physical problems and skin irritations.
