Trouble in Your Dark Corners: Do You have a Spider Infestation?

Spiders naturally live outdoors, but if it's inhospitable out there because of the weather etc, they look for shelter, and that might mean your home. Once inside they will seek out little out-of-the-way spots in corners, under furniture and so on. You are more likely to see a web than the spider that spun it, but if there is a web, its creator must be around somewhere.

If you find a spider from time to time in your home, you may think nothing of it. But if it starts to become a regular occurrence, it's time to do something about it, because you may have a spider infestation.

What is a Spider Infestation?

It basically means the spider population is out of control, and it can happen very quickly. When a female spider lays a pouch of eggs, that may contain as many as 25. When these hatch and a new generation appears, they will start the process all over again. Another female, another 25 eggs. 25 x 25 = 625 and so on into the thousands and beyond. Clearly this cannot be allowed to continue and the only effective way to stop it is to engage a professional firm. We at Dentec Pest Management can rectify the situation for you.

We are a family firm of 25 years' standing and our mission is to rid this region's homes of pests of all kinds, from spiders and termites to rodents, fleas and bed bugs. The thing about spiders is not just that they give people the heebie-jeebies, but some of them are downright dangerous, capable of biting people and injecting venom which, depending on the kind of spider, can be very painful and cause medical issues - resulting in the need for red back spider pest control.

Is There a Spider Infestation in the Building You're Buying?

If you're thinking of buying a property, you may be getting a structural survey done to see if the place is in good condition. It can make sense to extend that thing to pests and book an inspection to see if there is a spider infestation(or any other kind of pest problem - we can give it a thorough going-over). This is important not only if this is living accommodation but for business premises too. No business wants visitors to be unsettled by seeing spiders around the place, let alone someone being bitten by a dangerous one. Spiders are not known as dirty creatures in the way that cockroaches are (and we can deal with them, too), but they do suggest the place hasn't been thoroughly cleaned. It doesn't create a good impression.
