Why Spiders Keep Coming Back and How to Stop Them

Spiders creeping back into your home despite your best efforts to keep them out? You're not alone! These eight-legged invaders seem to have a knack for finding their way inside, and understanding why can help you take the right steps to keep them at bay.

In a recent article for Tom's Guide, pest control experts, including our very own Joshua Malik, CEO of Joshua Tree Experts, shared valuable insights on why spiders keep showing up and what you can do about it. From clutter to messy backyards, these experts explain the factors that attract spiders and offer practical solutions to prevent them from making themselves at home.

Here are the top reasons why spiders may be invading your space:

• Other Bugs: Spiders are drawn in by their favorite meal—other insects! If you have an abundance of bugs in your home, you're creating a spider buffet.

• Clutter: Spiders love clutter because it provides the perfect hiding spots. Keeping things tidy and reducing clutter will make your home less appealing to them.

• Messy Backyard: Untrimmed landscaping, leaf litter, and wood piles near your house can create ideal spots for spiders to hide and thrive. Keeping your outdoor spaces clean and well-maintained is key.

Joshua emphasizes the importance of keeping your landscaping tidy and sealing cracks in your home to reduce spider activity. His expert advice, along with other tips from industry leaders, will help you prevent spiders from becoming permanent residents.
