SPIDER CONTROL
Woodland | Davis | Dixon | Winters
Spider Control
Spiders are a very common pest in our area, especially in garages, sheds, basements, and around the outside of the home. Webs on the eaves, in corners, and around windows and doors come back quickly if only the webs are removed — the spiders and their food source are still there.
Our spider control service starts with an inspection of the interior and exterior of your home. We identify the species, remove webs and egg sacs, and treat the places spiders live and hunt: eaves, window frames, garage corners, door thresholds, block and stone walls, and the base of the structure.
Spider Prevention
If spiders are an ongoing problem at your property, you should consider our ongoing spider prevention service. This starts with a thorough inspection of your property, including the exterior, interior, garage, attic, and crawl space.
Once that is done, we will provide you with a written plan for prevention. The plan will list the areas and conditions found by the inspector and the steps to correct them — removing webs and clutter, sealing entry points, trimming vegetation away from the house, reducing the insects spiders feed on, and scheduled exterior treatments as needed.
Our residential pest control is available as monthly, bi-monthly, and one-time treatments. Spiders come back each season, so many customers choose recurring service.
Most Common Spiders In Our Area
The most common spiders in our area are Black Widow Spiders, Common House Spiders, Cellar Spiders, and Wolf Spiders.
Black Widow Spiders
Black widow spiders are shiny black with a red hourglass marking underneath the female's abdomen. They build messy webs low and out of sight: in garage corners, meter boxes, woodpiles, block walls, and outdoor furniture. The black widow is the primary dangerous species in our region, but it is not aggressive and usually bites only when threatened or disturbed. Because their venom is potent, black widows should be addressed quickly, especially in homes with children or pets.
Common House Spiders
Common house spiders are typically brown or gray with various markings and patterns on their bodies. They build messy, tangle webs in corners, along ceilings, and near windows, closets, and eaves. They are frequently found in homes, particularly in basements, attics, and garages. In most cases, seeing a common house spider is a nuisance, not a danger.
Cellar Spiders
Cellar spiders, also called Daddy Long Legs, are probably the most common indoor spider in our area. They have long legs and small bodies, and spin cobwebby, hammock-like webs in basements, crawl spaces, and garages. Contrary to urban myth, these spiders are completely harmless to humans.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders are large, fast hunters that do not build webs to catch prey. They wander on the ground, especially in the fall, and can come inside through open doors, garages, and ground-floor entry points. Their size and speed can be startling, but they are generally a nuisance pest, not a dangerous one.
