What keeps the spiders and bugs away?

[Simslover92]

I haven't had a spider or roach problem since I first moved in my apartment almost 4 years ago. We do have pest control come into our apartments now periodically but that's just been this year and a little of last year.

Before they were not coming so what keeps them away? Clean house?

you can have the cleanest place ever... and the bugs are still going to invite themselves into your house, spiders will follow...

bugs are not into "dirty" lol

both of them need more than just food, they also look for places to nest, to stay, they like humidity, light, plants... crevices, darkness and such

so... I guess that, if there's a pest or infestation, then poison is the answer but if they're just a little few bugs and spiders here and there... it will be a whole lot more work

Definitely a clean house will help a lot. Spiders will be difficult to keep out because they like warm and dry places but they aren't so bad. They catch bugs for you. The roadents definitely love dirty places and remains of food behind refrigerators and cabinets

Spiders keep the bugs away, by eating them. I learned that from "Arachnophobia". :-)

Have a well-maintained clean house, and you will rarely see bugs or spiders.
