Pest Protection for Your Home
We all love Phoenix weather. Unfortunately, the fantastic year-round warm weather is not just good for us but for many pests too, and among them, black widow spiders.

Causes
Black widow spiders thrive in damp and dark spaces around buildings and homes where they can be hidden from homeowners’ view. Inside homes, they prefer to build their webs in closets, basements, and garages. They prefer nesting low to the ground, thus find their homes around building’s foundations, in crevices near the floor, along perimeter block walls, in corners, and around the base of plants.
Signs of Infestation
Spiders are best known for their webs, and therefore, the most obvious sign of a black widow infestation is the presence of their webs in your home or property. Also, if you come across a silken sac, which holds their eggs, that should tell you that a black widow infestation is underway.

Prevention
Black widow spiders rarely live in people’s houses as they enjoy undisturbed places. You will, therefore, mostly find them outdoors in woodpiles, garages, yards, and so on. People who work outside should hence be more cautious about these spiders.
Here are a few expert tips to prevent a black widow infestation: Ensure that your doors are properly built and have intact weather stripping to prevent the spiders from entering your house. In commercial environments, slide door sweeps to the bottom of exterior doors to keep away the spiders.
Clear outdoor habitats of the black widow spider by getting rid of garbage piles, wood, and rocks or transferring them a safe distance from the home.
Ensure proper maintenance and trimming of your landscaping, leaving a space of at least 6 inches from your building or home. Shake out all blankets, clothing, and shoes before use if they have been in store for a long while. Use proper protective gear while cleaning outdoor piles to avoid black widow spider bites as they are aggressive when disturbed.
