How To Prevent Spider Infestations In Hanover Homes

Spiders enter Hanover homes primarily in search of food, which comes in the form of other pests like flies, gnats, and cockroaches. They will also enter a home if the conditions are right and there’s an ample water supply. In order to avoid spider infestations, try the following tips:

• Check gutters, roofs, and downspouts for leaks regularly and fix them if they prevent a problem. 
• Don’t allow condensation from air conditioning units to collect outside of the home. 
• Remove all lawn trimmings, leaf piles, and other debris from the yard. 
• Be sure to have properly fitting doors by applying weatherstripping if necessary. 
• Replace torn window screens and leave windows open judiciously. 
• Inside, rectify leaky faucets, bathtubs, showerheads, and pipes. 
• Practice good hygiene by vacuuming, disinfecting, and cleaning on a regular basis. 
• Store leftovers and pantry items in containers with locking lids. 
• Contact a pest control expert for consistent protection from spiders and their prey.

Are Scorpions In Hanover Dangerous?

Scorpions are a pest that’s unique to Hanover and other areas with similar climates. With their oblong body shape and distinctive front pincers, scorpions of any species are hard to miss. They thrive in areas of local properties that are heavy with mulch, brush, yard debris, and rock piles, as they wait around to attack their prey. Sometimes a scorpion sting will only incite a mild allergic reaction; however, that depends on the individual. Some of the side effects of a scorpion sting are swelling of the eyes, lips, and face, muscle aches, and fever. If a species is on the more dangerous side, then some of the effects they might have include paralysis, cardiac troubles, convulsions, and difficulty breathing. In the more severe cases, these risks happen because the scorpion’s venom is of a particular neurotoxin that is very harmful to an individual’s system. The most dangerous species that lives in the Hanover area is the Arizona bark scorpion.
