Should I Be Concerned About Spiders In My Plymouth Home?
Few people say, "Look at that cute little spider racing across my bathroom floor!" If you are like most people, you have a wad of toilet paper in your hand and are ready to dispatch that spider before you can even form that sentence. Spiders are not welcome guests in Plymouth homes! Sure, you may allow spiders to create webs so they can catch mosquitoes and other pests. And you may even tolerate seeing spiders living in your garage. But few people let them roam about in bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and other common areas. It is commonly understood that all spiders have fangs, and that all spiders use venom to subdue their prey. What you may not know is that some spiders can't bite you because their fangs are too weak, or that most spiders have venom that isn't strong enough to cause medical symptoms in humans. Today, we'll dig into this topic and shed some light on the risks of having spiders in your home. Once you know what you're up against, we'll look at naturally effective spider prevention tips that will help you keep common house spiders out of your home.

The Many Types Of Spiders You Can Find In Plymouth
We have quite a variety of spiders in Plymouth. Some have long legs and hang out in your garage or shed. Some are big and hairy and love to startle you by appearing in places you don't expect them. Most are web-making nuisances. If you have vegetation on your property, we're sure you've experienced the feel of having a web cling to your hand, arm, or face. It is unpleasant.
It would take pages of information to cover all types of house spiders that appear in Plymouth homes. Let's zero in on what matters most. Here are some characteristics of common spiders in our region.
- Outdoor aerial web builders capture flies and other flying pests. These hang out in landscaping, gardens, and other areas of vegetation. They typically have a painful bite, but they don't prefer to bite people. Some Plymouth residents keep these spiders around to help reduce mosquitoes.
- Ground web builders are hunter spiders that use their webs to guard themselves as they retreat. These spiders move about in your yard or home and use their acute eyesight to track prey and spring on their prey to subdue them. They'll help with the control of creepy crawling pests.
- Indoor spiders are unique. They don't prefer to live outside and offspring that hatch indoors may not survive if you capture them and put them outdoors. These spiders live mostly in wall voids and keep out of sight unless an indoor insect infestation flares up. As ants, carpet beetles, clothing moths, and other unwanted pests attempt to get inside your home, these indoor spiders help to stop them.
Isn't it great having spiders? Is it actually a good thing to have spiders living inside your home or creating webs on your exterior and in zones of vegetation on your property? Let's take a look at the bigger picture.

Why A Spider Infestation In Your Home Can Be Problematic
Sure, spiders are beneficial critters. They eat other pests. While that can seem like a good reason to keep them around, we recommend that you don't. Not only are spiders not nearly as effective at controlling pests as human pest control professionals, but those spiders also present problems of their own.
- Spiders are not a welcome sight. They are creepy bugs that crawl around in your home and make you feel uncomfortable.
- Most spiders bite. The results of a spider bite vary depending on what species of spider bites you. Some spider bites feel like a pinprick. Some feel like a bee sting.
- Venomous spiders are a threat. If black widow or brown recluse spiders find their way into your home or establish themselves near your home, they pose a risk. These two have potent venom capable of making you sick and causing health concerns.
- Spiders reproduce. There are few things as disturbing as finding a wall covered in tiny baby spiders. It is also disturbing to stumble upon a female wolf spider carrying dozens of tiny spiders on her back.
When you see spider activity in your home, consider contacting Combat Pest Control for spider pest control in Plymouth. We can arrest spider activity indoors and provide exterior protection to prevent spiders from continually entering your home from the outside.

This is our third year with them. We first called because of ants in the house. I couldn't stop them. Combat did the job and we are ant-free. Combat responds quickly to an ant in the kitchen and wasps and bees nests. Thank you Combat !
