Baby spiders in the house...

what to do? We use natural pesticides outside only to control our container garden. Normally a spider in the house would be put outside (or caught by a cat), but I've now found 5 or 6 tiny baby spiders in the last couple days. I'm concerned about how many more there may be. What would you recommend to get this under control before they become big spiders?

Re: Baby spiders in the house...

  • I vacuum all the corners of the attic early in spring and again later on, if necessary, which is a bit tragic for them, but it keeps them out of my house.

  • I'm arachnophobic, so I'd move, at least to a hotel until DH called an exterminator.

    lol - the kitties are out exterminators normally, but they don't notice teeny tiny spiders

  • We get a lot of baby spiders too.  I just kill them all one by one.  I have given up on a complete spider free house.  We kill them as we see them.

    LOL @ preferring to live with chemicals than spiders! I'd move IF an exterminator came, for good!

    Vacuuming around the house frequently should do away with the problem, as in using the attachment in corners and crevices.
