In this short monologue, a licensed pest control technician outlines a three‑step approach to keep spiders out of a home. First, he advises eliminating the spiders' primary food source by removing indoor insects, which can be done by cleaning and vacuuming. Second, he recommends physically removing existing spider webs and turning off porch lights, since lights attract insects that in turn draw spiders close to entry points. Finally, he acknowledges that these measures may not eliminate all spiders and suggests calling professional pest‑control services for a more thorough solution.

Here's how I'd prevent spiders coming into my home as a licensed pest control technician. First of all, you gotta remove all insects from inside your home. These are a spider's main food source. You want the spiders out, you've gotta remove them first. Go around the house and vacuum up any old spider webs. Keep the front porch light off. The spiders see the other insects attracted to the light. That'll have the spider set up shop inches from your door. You can do all these things and still have spiders around the house. If you really wanna get rid of them, it's best to call the pros.
