| What the guides say | Guide |
|---|---|
| Yellow outdoor bulbs attract fewer insects than white ones, which gives spiders less to feed on near the house. | Health Canada: spiders |
| 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 |
| Many night-flying insects are drawn to artificial light through a reflex called the dorsal light response, where they orient their backs toward the brightest light source and end up circling it instead of navigating past it. That concentration of insects is exactly why webs keep showing up in the same few spots: | Why Spiders Are Inside Your Home (And What They're Actually Following) |

Frequently asked questions: Scugog
Does Scugog regulate pests on private property?
Every property must be maintained so as to be free from rodents and conditions that may promote an infestation at all times.
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.
