More on spiders for Brooklin homeowners
- Quick tip: If you're catching more than one centipede a week in the same room, don't just kill it, check under sinks, near floor drains, and around the sump pit for standing moisture. That's almost always where the real activity is. (Centipedes in Your Basement? Here's What They're Actually Telling You)
- Sweeping away webs and trapping a spider under a glass jar to carry it outside are simple ways to remove one. (Health Canada: spiders)
- Centipedes congregate where there are large amounts of insects and seek out dark, damp places with plenty of small crevices and cracks, like basements, garages, and mulched gardens. They are following prey, silverfish, drain flies, ants, spiders, and other small insects that are already living inside the structure. (Centipedes in Your Basement?

Frequently asked questions: Brooklin
Does Whitby regulate pests on private property?
Every owner of a dwelling unit must keep it free of rodents and injurious insects and free from conditions that may encourage infestation.
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.
