| Sweeping away webs and trapping a spider under a glass jar to carry it outside are simple ways to remove one. | Health Canada: spiders |
| Although centipedes have poisonous glands and may bite, their venom is not poisonous to humans or pets, and the type found in Canadian homes typically does not have the jaw strength required to pierce the skin easily. So the reason to treat them isn't personal safety. | Centipedes in Your Basement? Here's What They're Actually Telling You |
| Think of it as a simple chain: property conditions attract insects, insects become a food source, and spiders follow the food source. Once prey is available in a spot, a spider has a reason to stay there. | Why Spiders Are Inside Your Home (And What They're Actually Following) |

Detached homes and exterior walls in Newcastle

Frequently asked questions: Newcastle
Does Clarington regulate pests on private property?
Buildings must be kept free of rodents, vermin, insects and the presence of their nests, droppings and chew holes at all times, and extermination must follow the Pesticides Act with the owner responsible unless the lease says otherwise.
What can I spray around the house to keep spiders out?
The exterior barrier around the foundation, doors, windows and entry points reduces what gets in, and interior treatment is used only where the inspection shows it is needed.
Are there natural ways to deter spiders?
Removing webs and egg sacs and cutting back vegetation against the house help, though they rarely clear an established problem. Dusting into wall voids and cracks, plus an exterior barrier, is what reaches the spiders you cannot see.
