Spider control

When to get spider control

• When you're seeing many spiders indoors or in garages, basements, or sheds.
• When you have venomous species (e.g., black widow, brown recluse) in your region and want to reduce risk.
• When webs and egg sacs are a recurring problem and you want a lasting reduction.
• When you want perimeter or ongoing treatment to prevent spiders from entering.

Why spider control matters

While most spiders are beneficial, venomous species can pose a risk to family and pets. Even non-venomous spiders can be a nuisance and indicate other pest issues (spiders feed on insects). Professional spider control addresses hiding spots, reduces prey insects, and can include exclusion so you see fewer spiders and feel more comfortable in your home.

What to expect from spider control

• An assessment of where spiders are most active—indoors and/or outdoors.
• Removal of visible webs and egg sacs and treatment of cracks, corners, and other harborage areas.
• Interior and/or perimeter treatment with products that reduce spiders and their prey.
• Recommendations for sealing entry points and reducing clutter to make the area less attractive to spiders.

Common questions about spider control

Are the spiders in my home dangerous?

Most household spiders are not dangerous to humans. In the U.S., black widows and brown recluses are the main species of concern in certain regions. Your technician can help identify species and focus treatment on problem areas.

Will one treatment get rid of all spiders?

Spiders can recolonize from outside. One treatment can greatly reduce numbers; ongoing or periodic service helps keep them down. Sealing entry points and reducing other pests (their food source) also helps.

Is spider treatment safe for my family?

Licensed providers use products according to label directions. You'll get instructions on re-entry times and any precautions. Many treatments are applied in cracks and corners with minimal exposure to people and pets.
