Besides being scary, spiders can at times be dangerous. Knowing which spiders are safe to handle and which ones are not takes a bit of education about your home environment and types of spiders in your area. Unlike other pests, often times spiders can be removed without the need for chemicals. Nevertheless, a qualified professional is often the best resource for understanding the scope of the problem and the best
solution. While the occasional spider is your home is part of home ownership, if you notice an increasing number of spiders in your home, you may want to take action with one or more of the following steps.
Vacuum up both spiders and cobwebs. Spiders die instantly when vacuumed, because their bodies are too fragile to survive the suction.
Since spiders eat flies, you’re less likely to have a spider problem if you don’t have a fly problem. Keep mesh on windows, and install screen doors.
Lay traps throughout your home, which will kill other types of pests as well. Just make sure the traps are out of reach of pets and children.

Use yellow lights or sodium vapor lights instead of traditional outdoor lighting, which will cut detract flies and other insects.
If you notice just one spider, you don’t need to go to great lengths. Just kill the spider with a shoe or other sturdy object, or capture it in a jar and put it outside.
