|---|---|
| Most companies spray the baseboards and leave. The wall voids are never touched, egg sacs are never located, and the insects the spiders were feeding on are never addressed, so two weeks later you're back to square one. | Spiders in Your Home? Here's Why Spraying Baseboards Never Fixes It (An Ontario Exterminator Explains) |
| Spiders do not spread disease to people. | Health Canada: spiders |
| The chain is simple: light attracts insects, insects become prey, and spiders position themselves where the hunting is good. If the same window or light fixture keeps producing webs, it's telling you that location consistently produces insects, not that the spider has any particular interest in your siding or trim. | Why Spiders Are Inside Your Home (And What They're Actually Following) |

Prevention: Reducing Spiders Without a Full Treatment in Aurora
Before you call anyone, work through this part of Spiders in Your Home? Here's Why Spraying Baseboards Never Fixes It (An Ontario Exterminator Explains), adapted for Aurora homes.
- Seal gaps around foundation vents, window frames, and utility penetrations, spiders exploit anything wider than a few millimetres.
- Switch exterior lighting to warm/yellow bulbs; white and blue-toned lights attract far more flying insects, which in turn attract spiders.
- Vacuum corners, closets, and window tracks every 2-3 weeks to remove egg sacs before they hatch.
- Keep firewood and dense vegetation at least 12-18 inches off the foundation wall.
Named parks near the centre of Aurora include Civic Square Park, Taylor Park and Aurora Community Arboretum, and spiders that live in green space can reach nearby homes along fences, gardens and tree lines.
Frequently asked questions: Aurora
Does Aurora regulate pests on private property?
Buildings on any property must be kept free of infestation of rodents, vermin and insects at all times.
Why do I keep finding new spiders after cleaning?
Spiders follow the insects they eat, so reducing what gets in matters as much as removing webs. Monitors show whether activity continues.
Do spiders come in more at certain times of year?
Health Canada says spiders look for warm places in the fall, and that is when more are seen indoors.
