Entries of house must be sealed

Spiders enter in a house in search of prey. It enters through cracks and openings in walls, doors or windows. These cracks and openings must be found out and tightly sealed with cementing material.

Lights attracting insects must be switched off

Insects are food for spiders. Lights shining out attract insects and insects attract spiders. If the source to attract spider food is cut off, spiders will also not be interested to visit the house.

Vegetation to be restricted

Vegetation, mainly trees and shrubs are excellent hiding places for spiders. These are their habitat of choice. If spider problem is serious, all vegetation must be removed from perimeter of house to a distance. This will take spiders away.

House must be cleaned regularly

Clean household does not allow spiders or any insect to hide anywhere. Proper cleaning of food leftovers prevent insects being attracted to it and that in turn does not tempt the spiders to chase these insects to eat them. 

Spider webs must be cleaned religiously

Spider webs are homes of spiders. They live there. They breed there. They leave their egg sacs full of eggs in the house. These must be cleaned and destroyed in regular intervals. This throws the spiders away from the house.

Insecticides must be used

Every corner of the house must be sprayed with conventional pesticide periodically. This kills existing spiders and their eggs and prevents new spiders to enter. This is a very good precautionary measure.

House hold measures may be adopted

Many house hold agents act as strong spider repellents. Vinegar, lemon, eucalyptus oil is very strong spider repellents. These can be kept in open jars around the house to keep spiders away. Peppermint scent also works very effectively. Smell of tobacco is also not liked by spiders.
