Noticed more spiders in your home? Pest control expert reveals the one unchecked spot they love to hide in this fall
Pest control expert reveals this unchecked spot that spiders love to hide in this fall — and how to banish them.
Spiders are appearing more frequently inside homes this fall, likely due to their peak mating season. Pest control expert Mosh Latifi advises checking commonly overlooked spots for these pests, particularly outdoor porch lighting. The expert suggests turning off porch lights, as they attract moths and insects, providing an ideal food source for spiders.
Latifi also recommends cleaning cobwebs, vacuuming hidden corners, and decluttering spaces to discourage spider infestations. Another suggestion is to use white vinegar-soaked cotton balls or peppermint oil sprays in spider-prone areas, as spiders dislike the strong, acidic smell.
