Q: Why is my house full of spiders?

• <div><p>If your house is full of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-attracts-spiders.htm">things that attract spiders</a>, you&rsquo;re more likely to have a population explosion. When you have lots of cracks leading to warm, secure spots in your home, why wouldn&rsquo;t they want to come in? Especially if your home has plenty of other meal-ticket insects, like flies, roaches, and fleas. Sealing up obvious cracks and gaps and keeping your house bug-free makes it a less appealing place for spiders.</p></div>

Q: How do you deter bugs in your home?

• <div><p>One way to keep pests away is with good housekeeping. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-ants.htm">Keep ants away</a> with a clean kitchen.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Experts have mixed opinions about spraying spiders. A recent study found that chestnut and peppermint oil have a repelling effect on some spider species, but were ineffective at repelling others. You should consult with an expert exterminator to find out what works best to repel the spiders living in and around your home.

These are the signs of bed bugs to look out for:

Blood or rust-colored stains on mattresses, fabrics, or upholstery
Dark spots of excrement that look like dots from a fine-tipped permanent marker
Tiny eggshells and yellowish shed skins

Exterminators use residual insecticides in either liquid or powder form to kill scorpions. These insecticides are applied directly to visible scorpions and their common hideouts and entryways in a home to kill them and prevent future infestation. Exterminators will also use diatomaceous earth at entryways to slowly kill scorpions that enter a home later.
