Spiders do not have a habit of biting humans unless their webs or nests are disturbed. Humans are not the spiders’ food source as spiders primarily feed on other insects. The venom in spider bites is not normally fatal in humans. However, some individuals can have a mild or severe reaction when bitten because they may be hypersensitive. In either case, Truly Nolen is at your disposal if you are considering professional spider control services for your home or property.

Discovering A Spider Infestation In Your Home

The problem with spotting spiders in your home frequently and in large numbers is the fact that they are indicative of a more serious insect infestation in your residence. They will typically find shelter in undisturbed and well-protected areas of your home like under patio furniture, in bookcase voids, vaulted ceiling corners, in eaves and any other space they feel safe. Some prefer moist and dark areas, others are attracted to warm and dry areas. Their presence can be detected by visual inspection and they can be found in Canadian homes year-round.
