Sometimes they come out of the woodwork and sometimes they come right from under your lawn chair. Check under tables and lawn chairs for webbing as these are signs of Widow spiders. In addition to eliminating hiding spaces and food sources, traps will divert the insect’s attention away from you and your recreational activities.

There are many styles of traps, to serve the many styles of insects. There is not one pest control technique that works for all insects. Before spending any money on traps it’s important to understand the types of insects that inhabit the area. A fly trap is going to serve a different purpose compared to a roach trap. After setting up traps, a good idea is to schedule a routine spraying.
