What a technician typically checks

A technician typically identifies the spiders, finds where they are hiding, and also looks at the insects they feed on, because fewer prey insects means fewer spiders.

Before the visit

Vacuum webs and egg sacs, reduce clutter in storage areas, and shake out shoes and gloves stored in garages. If you are bitten and feel unwell, seek medical care.

Frequently asked questions

Are house spiders dangerous?

Most are not. Black widows and brown recluses can be medically significant, so have unfamiliar spiders identified.

Why do spiders come indoors in fall?

Many male spiders wander looking for mates in late summer and fall, and some move toward shelter as it cools.

Does spider control also treat other insects?

Often yes, since reducing the insects spiders eat is part of controlling them.
