Spider season is coming. Why clean windows help discourage unwanted guests

Autumn means back-to-school, shorter evenings, and, let’s be honest, spiders. The annual scuttle indoors has begun. While there’s no magical way to banish them completely, clean windows and sills can make your home a less attractive hangout.

Why spiders love windows

• Dusty corners are prime spots for webs.
• Dead insects on sills = free food.
• Moisture build-up attracts flies, which attract spiders.

   

How cleaning helps

• Regular sill wipes remove cobweb foundations.
• Frame cleaning reduces mould and damp patches that attract insects.
• Professional cleans shift the tiny particles spiders use to anchor webs.

   

Think of it this way, spiders set up shop where the business is good. Keep windows clean and insect-free, and they’ll look elsewhere for a snack.
