A spider infestation can leave you feeling uncomfortable in your own home. If you are afraid of spiders and worry about the consequences of an infestation, it can be unnerving to realize that you have an infestation. Even if you are not afraid of spiders, you still do not want to have to live with these pests inside your home. The first step in dealing with a spider infestation is to figure out if you actually have an infestation. If you see spiders inside your home, notice spider webs around the house, or confirm an infestation through a professional inspection, then you have a spider infestation that needs to be addressed.
See spiders in your home
Seeing spiders in your home is a simple way to determine if you have an infestation. Does see one spider mean that you have a full infestation? The short answer is, probably. Spiders will stay out of sight and away from people as much as possible. If you see a spider out in the open it either means that you have a widespread infestation or that the spider is being bold because it is mating season. Either way, if you have spotted spiders inside your home, it is a good indication that you have a spider infestation.
Notice spider webs around the house
Seeing a spider is not the only evidence that points to the presence of these pests inside your home. Many types of spiders also leave evidence of their presence in the form of webs. Spider webs are often found in corners, under pieces of furniture, and in other areas that are not disturbed regularly. Spider webs are a common sight in homes throughout California. If you notice spider webs around your house it is a sign that you have a spider infestation or that you once had one. Spider webs can stick around long after the spiders are gone so it is important to use another method to confirm that you have a current and active infestation.
Confirm an infestation through a professional inspection
The best way to determine if you have a spider infestation in your house is through a professional inspection. A spider control pro will have the training and experience needed to identify the signs of a spider infestation and seek out the areas where they are most likely to be. Once you confirm that you have a spider infestation with a professional inspection, you can schedule treatment.
