3 Simple Tips to Keep Spiders Away
Keeping spiders away starts with making your home less attractive to them. Fortunately, there are several easy steps you can take to discourage spider activity around your property.
Here are a few simple tips.
- Address Other Pest Problems: Spiders feed on insects and other small pests, so a steady supply of prey can attract them to your property. Reducing the insects they rely on for food can help make your home less appealing to spiders.
- Seal Cracks and Potential Entry Points: Spiders can enter your home through small cracks and gaps around windows, doors, foundations, utility lines, and other openings. Sealing these potential entry points can help keep unwanted spiders outside where they belong.
- Reduce Excess Moisture: Damp areas and excess moisture can attract insects that spiders feed on. Repairing leaks, removing standing water, and addressing moisture problems around your property can help reduce the conditions that attract spiders.
If spiders continue appearing despite your prevention efforts, professional pest control can help identify the underlying conditions contributing to the problem.
How Our Spider Control Process Works
Recurring spiders can be frustrating, especially when you are not sure what is causing the problem. Our spider control process is designed to uncover the source, treat current activity, and help keep spiders from returning.
Here’s what the process includes:
- Inspection: Your Griffin Pest Solutions technician will thoroughly inspect your property for spider activity, webs, potential entry points, hiding spots, and other conditions that may be attracting spiders. We will also look for insects and other pests that could be providing a food source. This helps us determine the scope of the problem and identify the spider species present so we can recommend the right approach.
- Targeted Treatment: After identifying the factors contributing to the problem, we will select treatments based on our findings. We focus on areas where spiders are active or likely to hide, addressing both visible spiders and areas where additional activity may be present. Our treatments are tailored to the specific needs of your home or business.
- Long-Term Prevention: Eliminating existing spiders is only part of effective spider control. We will also identify ways to reduce the conditions that attract spiders and provide recommendations to help limit future activity around your property.
Our technicians can recommend ways to seal entry points, reduce moisture, eliminate hiding places, and address other conditions that may be encouraging spider activity. Combining professional treatment with these preventive measures can help keep your property less inviting to spiders.
Keeping Spiders Out of Your Commercial Property
Spider problems can be particularly difficult to manage in commercial properties, where large buildings often have numerous entrances, storage spaces, dark corners, and other areas where spiders can hide. Spider webs and sightings can create an unpleasant environment for employees, customers, tenants, and visitors.
Griffin Pest Solutions understands the spider species found throughout Michigan and can develop a control plan based on your facility’s specific needs. We will identify areas of activity and conditions contributing to the problem, then recommend targeted treatments and prevention measures to help keep spiders under control.

Are most spiders in Michigan dangerous?
Most spiders encountered around Michigan homes and businesses are not dangerous to people. However, there are a small number of species that can pose health concerns. If you are unsure what type of spider you have found, a pest professional can help identify it and determine whether treatment is necessary.
Why do I keep finding spiders in my house?
Spiders can enter homes for several reasons, including the search for food, shelter, and favorable conditions. If you are seeing them regularly, one or more of the following factors may be contributing to the problem:
- Food Sources: Spiders feed on insects and other small pests, so an abundance of prey can attract them to your home.
- Entry Points: Cracks, gaps, and openings around windows, doors, foundations, and utility lines can give spiders easy access indoors.
- Moisture: Damp areas, leaks, and excess moisture can attract insects that spiders rely on for food.
- Shelter: Clutter, storage areas, basements, garages, and other undisturbed spaces can provide spiders with places to hide.
- Undisturbed Areas: Spiders are more likely to establish themselves in quiet areas that receive little activity or disturbance.
Does seeing spider webs mean I have an infestation?
Not necessarily. A few webs around your property are normal, particularly outdoors. However, an increasing number of webs or webs appearing repeatedly in multiple areas can indicate that spider activity is more extensive and may warrant a professional inspection.
Where do spiders hide?
Spiders can hide in many areas around a home or business, especially places that are dark, quiet, and rarely disturbed. Depending on the species, you may find them in or around your property in areas such as:
- Basements and Crawl Spaces: These areas often provide the darkness and shelter spiders prefer.
- Garages and Storage Areas: Clutter and infrequently used spaces can give spiders plenty of places to hide.
- Corners and Crevices: Spiders may build webs in quiet corners, cracks, and other secluded areas.
- Windows and Doors: Gaps around windows, doors, and other openings can provide both shelter and entry points.
- Landscaping: Outdoor spiders commonly build webs in shrubs, plants, and other areas around your yard.
- Eaves and Structures: Spiders may also create webs around eaves, porches, sheds, and other sheltered parts of a property.
How can I keep spiders out of my home?
Start by reducing the conditions that attract them. Seal cracks and gaps around your home, repair moisture problems, reduce clutter in storage areas, and address other pest activity that may provide spiders with a food source. Professional pest control can help when spider activity continues despite these efforts.
