With Good Riddance Pest Control
Despite appearances, spiders are not insects, but are classified as arachnida. Large offices or apartment buildings often attract a variety of spiders and have reported heavy infestation. This is a result of lights in the large windows which attract nocturnal "night" insects upon which spiders feed.
With a rich food supply, spiders multiply very rapidly. Young spiders of some species disperse by means of a technique known as ballooning.
Spiders also multiply in large numbers along waterways, and cottages, homes or buildings close to rivers and lakes are often heavily infested. The large numbers of aquatic insects such as caddis flies and midges attract and support various spider species.
Remember, spiders are beneficial insects but enough is enough. If a serious situation develops, a residual insecticide can be applied to harbourage areas such as corners, eaves, windowsills and frames, and door frames. Many people don't realize that spiders must be listed on the product label in order to use the pesticide product for their control. Over usage of pesticides can harm the person applying and the environment.
Knowing this, Mr. Hebert applies a pyrethroid insecticide (permethium) which is legally labeled by the MOE. He also sprays with the most common of the motorized sprayers that use a pump which is power driven by a battery. Please contact Mr. Hebert for a free estimate, call 499-1668 or office 476-1698.
