• Keep a clean kitchen: Small crumbs and sticky spills attract other pests that spiders like to eat
• Change your outdoor lighting: Insects, otherwise known as spider food, are attracted to light so keep outdoor lighting away from your home and sweep webs off regularly
• Don’t hang a welcome sign for spiders: Seal any cracks or crevices in your foundation and around any wires or pipes, repair any torn screens, and install door sweeps
• Clean up outdoors: Keep debris, firewood and rocks cleaned up and away from your home, also remember to trim back any trees and shrubs that may be touching your house
• Do not provide comfy accommodations: Store items, such as blankets and old clothing, in plastic bins with tight fitting lids and do not use cardboard boxes, they are very easy to get into for spiders
