Pest Pros React: Spiders and spiderlings in your home

Voiceover: Oh my god.

Joe: Those little spiders, they don't stay little for long.

Hey, I'm Joe with Terminix. Let me show you what's going on here. You see all those little spiderlings right there? That mama just laid dozens of baby spiders from that one little egg sack. They're not a very social insect. They don't hang out together; they're just spreading around your house.

Once those babies hatch, they're everywhere: walls, windows, ceilings. They're going to hide, and that's what they're going to do. If it is venomous, those babies are too. Just because they are babies doesn't mean they can't bite you and make you sick.

Here's why your bedroom is spider paradise. Spiders come indoors for three things: shelter, warmth, and food. If you have flies, mosquitoes, or ants, you have spider food. You know, spiders are active when you're sleeping. That's exactly why it's a nightmare. You want to know what to do to get rid of this?

Vacuum. Clean your house. Vacuum like crazy. Once you're done doing the vacuuming, it's important that those little baby spiders are removed out of your house immediately. Some people empty their vacuum inside of their home. No, don't do that. You want to take that outside away from the home. Then the second thing: reduce your nooks and crannies, man. Don't have a bunch of little nooks and crannies that bugs can kind of hide in.

Finally—little drum roll—if you have a lot of bugs in your house, get rid of those, too. That's part of your spider problem. If you're sharing a bed with a spider, give us a call. I don't know about you, but I don't want a whole bunch of spiders where, you know, I lay my head.
