The removal of spiderwebs from exterior surfaces of structures and landscapes is a common maintenance task. These webs, often found in corners, under eaves, and near light fixtures, are spun by spiders to trap insects for food. Their presence can detract from the aesthetic appearance of a building. As an example, accumulated webs on a porch railing can make a home appear neglected.
Maintaining a web-free exterior offers several benefits. Beyond improved curb appeal, eliminating webs reduces the spider population in the immediate vicinity. This, in turn, minimizes the potential for spiders to enter the interior of the structure. Historically, keeping outdoor areas clean has been a sign of diligence and property pride.
