(Newswire.net — November 29, 2016) — If pests are cause for alarm, spiders are a code red. These creatures, while crucial to balancing certain ecosystems, are extremely dangerous guests to have in your hotel. Your well-kept lodging is no place for these eight-legged creatures. So here are a few ways to help prevent spiders from wanting to stop in and tips to deal with them if they have already decided to camp out in your establishment.
How to Prevent an Arachnid Invasion
Spiders, as you will find out, are extremely difficult to kill in mass. They are not as likely to come in contact with or ingest pesticides as other kinds of pests. This is why it is extremely important for you to know how to keep them out. Even if you are currently in a spider eviction situation, knowing how to keep them out will save you future headaches. Here are three ways to indicate to your resident arachnids that they are not welcome ever again.
1. Spiders love food. So naturally, if your establishment is dealing with any kind of insect/pest problem, it is most likely going to attract spiders. Keeping other pest problems in check will reduce the number of spiders that want to dine at your hotel.
2. Several kinds of spiders are attracted to dark crevices and small spaces. If there are even minor repairs or modifications that can be made to your establishment, it can make a difference.
3. Strong scents are helpful when trying to warn spiders against coming any closer. Eucalyptus is one of many that are helpful and aromatic repellents.
What to do Once You’ve Seen them Around
Whether it is a team of spiders or a couple here and there, seeing a spider is never a good thing for hotel owners. Here are three ways to deal with your unwelcome guests.
1. Call a professional like UltraPro Pest Protection. Spiders are not something to play around with, particularly if you have a lot of them. Use your best judgement and remember that an injured customer or a health code violation fine is far more expensive than consulting pest control expert. Make sure to know your limits.
2. Sticky traps are useful, but you have to be sure that you place them in a location that is heavy in spider traffic. Remember that it is only helpful if the spider gets caught in it, so pick your sticky trap locations strategically. This includes making sure that they are not located in any area that would cause a hazard for any of your guests.
3. Sprays are really only helpful if they come in direct contact with your eight-legged pests. If you are familiar with where they are coming in and out of, this method can be an effective one. Simply spraying a surface typically won’t get the job done. The body of a spider is held above surfaces by it’s long legs, so it doesn’t really come in contact with the pesticide. This is really only an option if you have only noticed a couple of spiders. Make sure that the pesticides you spray don’t come in contact with anything that could harm a guest.
Your top priority in maintaining the reputation of your establishment is getting and keeping pests out. If you are struggling with a spider problem, it is in your best interest to consult pest control specialists like UltraPro Pest Protection right away. Do your very best to address your pest problem early and to take the proper steps to keep them out once you’ve gotten them out. A spider might be good for the environment, but they are catastrophic for your economy if they colonize your hotel. Make sure that you deal with the problem
