The cleaning is key! I cant tell you how many homes I treat that the main problem is that they don't clean often enough. Clean regularly will help keep the critters and pest away.

I have been looking for something for spiders, I had no idea. These are all great ideas that can be organic AND non-toxic. In our house, the number one culprit is ticks, carried by wild bunnies that eat our garden. Here is an article about the bunny problem. Natural Rabbit Repellent

It is also imperative that you keep wood piles away from your home. They will hold moisture and become home to many pests.

Also, ensure wood chips do not make direct contact with your foundation.

I used Boric Acid powder when i lived on campus, never had a roach or water bug, though neighbors did. I did not put it where it was accessible by my son, who was a toddler, and instead put it behind the stove and behind the refrigerator only.

We had severe ant problems this summer, from the drought. The only thing I found to get rid of them, Sevin dust, which is for use on edible veggies in your garden. Do not know if it is toxic to humans, but I never saw any more ants.

I am sure that you will be able to find a company that will do a one shot deal, but expect to sign an acknowledgement that there is no warranty expressed or implied. In the end, someone will take your money and provide the service you want. The only person that you are cheating is yourself, because the pests are almost sure to return in short order.

I loved the detailed prevention tips, Stefanie and I will apply it on my daily life, as I don't want to use the synthetic pest control too often!

One thing living in New York City is that there aren't many bugs. But we see some of the hugest roaches out there.

Dusting and vacuuiming is a tip I should adhere to more often!

For ants, I had also heard that you can use chalk on the ground. For example, if you have a dog food dish outside, drawing a circle of chalk around the dish keeps the ants from crossing and out of the food. I bet the dog will like that more than cayenne pepper!
