Spider Control: Keep Your Home Safe and Spider-Free

What Are Spiders?

Spiders are arachnids with eight legs, closely related to insects. While most spiders are harmless, some species like the black widow and brown recluse can pose health risks due to their venomous bites.

Common Types of Spiders Found in Homes

• Black Widow Spiders: Glossy black with a red hourglass shape; venomous and dangerous.
• Brown Recluse Spiders: Light brown with a violin-shaped marking; venomous and potentially harmful.
• House Spiders: Small, brown or gray; harmless but can be a nuisance.
• Wolf Spiders: Large, hairy, and aggressive but not highly dangerous.
• Jumping Spiders: Small, colorful, and harmless.

Signs of a Spider Infestation

• Webs in corners, basements, attics, and furniture crevices.
• Visible spiders in less-frequented areas.
• Egg sacs containing hundreds of spiderlings.
• Bites on skin, especially from venomous species.

Why You Should Control Spiders in Your Home

• Health Risks: Venomous bites can cause severe reactions.
• Unsightly Webs: Webs make your home look neglected.
• Nuisance & Anxiety: Many people fear spiders.
• Prey for Other Pests: Spider presence often means other insects are also present.
