Living in Windsor, we see many families struggling with a common problem – keeping their homes free from spiders while making sure their pets stay safe. As someone who has worked in spider control for over 20 years here in Windsor-Essex, I want to share what really works for keeping both your home spider-free and your pets protected.
Why Windsor Homes Get More Spiders Than You Might Think
Our beautiful Windsor-Essex area has some unique features that make it perfect for spiders. We have lots of trees, we’re close to water, and our weather gives spiders exactly what they need to thrive. During spring and summer, many homeowners notice more spiders around their properties, especially in areas where their pets like to play.
Many of the homes I visit are near Lake St. Clair or the Detroit River. These waterfront properties often see more spiders than inland homes. The moisture and bugs near the water create an ideal environment for spiders to build their webs.
The Hidden Dangers of Store-Bought Spider Sprays
Many pet owners tell me they tried store-bought sprays before calling us. What they didn’t know is that these products can cause problems for their pets. I’ve seen cases where dogs and cats got sick from licking areas treated with harsh chemicals. This is why using safe, professional treatments matters so much.
Here’s what can go wrong with store-bought treatments:
- The sprays can leave harmful residues where pets walk
- Some products make pets feel sick if they breathe them in
- DIY treatments often need to be applied more often, increasing risk to pets
- Many store products don’t tell you they’re dangerous for pets
What Makes Professional Spider Control Different
In my years of experience, I’ve learned that good spider control is about more than just spraying. At Perfect Solutions, we look at your whole property. We think about where your pets spend their time. We plan our treatments around your pet’s schedule and habits.
Our Pet-Safe Approach Includes:
- Special treatments that won’t harm pets after they dry
- Careful application in areas where pets can’t reach
- Planning treatments when pets are out of the house
- Regular checks to make sure everything stays safe
Understanding Your Pet’s Space
Every home is different, and every pet has different habits. Before we start any treatment, we take time to learn about your pets:
- Where do they like to play?
- Do they have favorite sleeping spots?
- Which parts of the yard do they use most?
- Are there areas they can be kept away from during treatment?
Seasonal Spider Prevention That Works
Living in Windsor means dealing with different spider problems throughout the year. Here’s what we’ve learned works best:
Spring Prevention
During spring, spiders start becoming more active. This is when we focus on:
- Treating areas where spiders might build nests
- Checking entry points around your home
- Setting up safe barriers before spider populations grow
Summer Protection
Summer brings peak spider activity. Our summer treatments include:
- Regular checks of outdoor pet areas
- Touch-up treatments as needed
- Extra attention to decks and patios where pets hang out
Fall Preparation
As weather cools, spiders try to move indoors. We help by:
- Sealing entry points
- Treating outdoor perimeters
- Protecting indoor spaces safely
Making Your Yard Safe for Pets
Your yard should be a safe place for your pets to play. We make this happen by:
- Using treatments that are safe for grass and plants
- Focusing on areas where spiders usually build webs
- Creating invisible barriers that keep spiders away
- Making sure pet toys and play areas stay protected
