With so many types of spider control methods out there, how do you choose? We try to make it easy. From Pest Control Companies to Spider Control Sprays to the most effective and Safe Spider Traps, just read on!
After all, we want to keep our family safe. We will wrap with an overview of spider traps to control spiders without the spending a fortune on professional exterminators or pesticide poisons.

Pest Exterminators?

You could use an Spider Exterminator. Professional exterminators control spiders with poisons and insecticides sprays and will guarantee their work. While on the surface the results meet your desire for spider population control, you need to ask a few questions:

• Is there a monthly contract?
• How safe are the pesticides?
• Will poisons hurt my children or pets?

Do it yourself Spider Control Sprays

Of course you can reduce the cost of spider control by finding pesticides in the home improvement or hardware store or online. When choosing this path you will need to be VERY careful, pesticides can be dangerous, but at the same time what you and I can buy are far less potent than the pest control comapny.

When you do apply the spider killer, be aware of areas where it's not the best idea to spray pesticides (like food storage areas, cabinets, or office environments). You are solely responsible for damage you may cause, and that means to your pets and family. So think carefully before deciding to go with do-it-yourself pesticides.

Spider Traps - What makes them work best?

The final choice in spider control is also the safest! Spider glue traps are the gold standard safe way to get rid of spiders.

In some cases when you point out to a pest control company that you have pets, and children they may actually use the same spider traps that we are describing here! But they will still charge you the same!

Glue based spider traps typically use no poisons and but you should confirm the bait is food based and not poison based.

There are a variety of spider traps on the market, some that cost over $2.95 each and have chemicals that you can't even find listed. We want to point out some simple facts about spider traps and what makes them effective!

First consider the size of a spider trap. Larger traps do not make better traps! Why? because spider glue traps use glue to trap the spider, the total size of the trap does not matter because after the first step the spider is trapped! This means that the size of the edge of the trap is important.

Second don't by very expensive traps, because spiders don't wander very far, so 1 trap with 3 inches of edge stationed in the living room is not as good as 6 traps smaller traps with 3 inches of edge stationed on the doorways and long walls for the same price!! You end up with 6 times more converage for the same price!!

Lastly, the bait, while important (always choose a food based attractant like the catchmaster spider traps) is not as critical as the number of traps and where they are placed!

Choosing Spider Traps

There are several traps on the market, some proven and others may not even be effective. We explore the price vs quality and help you choose the best solution for the price in "Choosing Spider Traps".
