Spider Problems Need More Than a Quick Spray
Spiders often become noticeable in basements, garages, closets, storage areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and other quiet areas. While some spiders are occasional nuisances, brown recluse concerns should be handled carefully with a plan that includes treatment and monitoring.
Kammermann’s Pest Control provides spider control services for homeowners and businesses, including brown recluse monitoring where appropriate.
Brown Recluse Monitoring Boards
Monitoring Boards Help Track Brown Recluse Activity
Brown recluse spiders are difficult because they tend to hide in quiet, undisturbed areas. Monitoring boards can help show where activity is occurring and whether the problem is improving over time.
This is one reason spider control should not be treated as a simple baseboard-only service. Monitoring, inspection, and prevention guidance can all play a role in reducing activity.
A consecutive monthly service may be necessary to effectively eliminate brown recluse spiders. The frequency of service may be adjusted based on the level of activity and the results of each treatment.
