How to get rid of spiders: step by step
- Clear webs regularly with a broom or vacuum Knocking down webs, including egg sacs, on a regular schedule discourages spiders from resettling in the same corner.
- Reduce clutter in garages and sheds Stacked boxes, old furniture, and wood piles give spiders undisturbed places to build webs and lay egg sacs.
- Check gloves and shoes before wearing them Black widows commonly hide in garages and stored footwear, so a quick shake-out habit avoids a painful surprise.
- Address the insects spiders are feeding on Reducing ants, flies, and other small insects around the home removes the food source that draws spiders in.
- Seal gaps around exterior doors and vents Caulk and weatherstripping keep spiders from following their prey through the same small openings ants use.
