Protecting Your Home from Common Spiders During End-of-Summer Heat

As late summer temperatures soar in Langley, Aldergrove, and surrounding communities, you may start noticing an uptick in spider activity inside and around your home. While spiders play a vital role in local ecosystems by keeping other pests at bay, most homeowners prefer not to share their living spaces with these eight-legged critters. At Armoured Pest Control, we understand the discomfort spiders can cause and offer effective, eco-friendly spider treatment services tailored to the unique needs of BC homeowners.

Why Do Spiders Invade Homes in Late Summer?

Langley and Aldergrove experience some of the warmest weather of the year as summer draws to a close. This rise in temperature often coincides with an explosion in insect populations—spiders’ favorite food source. As the heat drives other insects indoors, spiders often follow, seeking shelter and abundant prey. Homes and businesses with easy access points, such as small cracks, open doors, and unscreened windows, can quickly become the ideal refuge for common BC spiders.

Most Common Spiders Found in Langley and Aldergrove

Residents in the Fraser Valley typically encounter these spider species during the summer transition:

- House Spiders: Known for their wispy webs in corners and garages.

- Wolf Spiders: Larger and fast-moving, found near baseboards and under furniture.

- Cellar Spiders (Daddy Long-Legs): Often in damp basements or crawl spaces.

- Garden Spiders: Found outside but may enter homes searching for prey.

While most local spiders are harmless, their webs and presence can become a nuisance for families and businesses alike.

DIY Tips to Prevent Spiders During Hot Weather

To minimize spider activity in your Langley or Aldergrove home, take these proactive steps:

- Seal all gaps, cracks, and openings in windows, doors, and foundations to block entry points.

- Regularly dust and vacuum common spider hotspots, like window sills, ceiling corners, basements, and garages.

- Remove clutter—spiders love to hide among piles of clothes, boxes, and storage bins.

- Use outdoor lighting wisely, as bright lights attract the insects that spiders prey on.

- Maintain trimmed hedges, bushes, and grass around your property, reducing outdoor harborage areas.

- Install or repair window and door screens to keep spiders and their prey outdoors.
