Spider Control
Why You Need Spider Control
Spiders are a common year-round household pest that forms webs around lamp posts, in doorways and dark spaces like basements, attics or ductwork. They are often found behind shrubs, under boards or along the siding of houses. Many species can survive months without food or water. In the home, spiders usually spread from the attic and crawl spaces to the rest of the house.
Some spiders, such as brown recluse and black widows, are not only a nuisance, but they also have a venomous bite. Spider Control is essential to keeping your family and your home safe.
Spotting Venomous Spiders

Black Widow
Black widows are typically identified by a black body with an orange or red hourglass on the bottom of the abdomen, but some have only a red stripe, pair of dots or no markings at all. Their bite is potentially neurotoxic to humans, causing severe muscle pain or spasms. However, the name “widow” is inspired by a strain of the female species that devours the male spider after mating.

Brown Recluse
