Spiders are a bother for several reasons. They can create a health hazard even if they aren’t poisonous, as their webs collect dirt and bacteria. They’re pros at finding hidden and small spaces, so it’s extra tricky to remove them. Although most spider bites aren’t harmful, nobody wants pests crawling around their home. Your local team at Mosquito Squad Plus® can help you eliminate spiders so you and your family can enjoy life without unwanted company. We’ll treat your yard to deter spiders before they consider infiltrating the house. There are a few steps you can take to keep them out, too! 

Fun Fact About Spiders 🕷️🕸️

The goliath spider is the world’s biggest spider. Its legs can span up to 12 inches long, and its fangs can grow up to an inch! It hunts larger prey like frogs, mice, snakes, and birds.

Commonly Found Spiders

Spiders play a role in controlling insect populations in a range of environments. There are over 52,000 species of spiders, and they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.

The most common spiders found in and around homes in the US include the American house spider, grass spider, and brown recluse. Learn about common types of spiders:

American House Spider

American house spiders are small and gray or brown, with a round abdomen and faint white markings. They are often mistaken for young black widows due to their shape. They make messy, tangled webs in corners of basements, garages, and ceilings. Although they can be a bother, house spiders are harmless.

Grass Spider

Grass spiders are brown with dark stripes running along their body. They build funnel-shaped webs, commonly in grass. They are fast-moving, which makes them great hunters. When insects wander into their webs, grass spiders quickly dart out from the center of the funnel to capture them.

Brown Recluse

True to the name, the brown recluse is light to dark brown and skilled at staying out of sight. It thrives in warm, dry, and undisturbed areas like attics, closets, and wood piles. This spider is nocturnal and often hides in crevices during the day. The brown recluse is infamous for its venomous bite. However, while it may cause nausea or pain, a bite rarely causes a severe reaction.

Wolf Spider

Wolf spiders are large, hairy, and brown or gray with patterns that help them blend into their surroundings. Unlike web-building spiders, they actively hunt prey on the ground, often in grass, leaf litter, or around homes. Because they are hunters, they prefer gardens, fields, wooded areas, and other spaces with hiding spots.

Cellar Spider

Cellar spiders, often called "daddy long legs," are pale with thin, long legs and small bodies. They are harmless, slow-moving, and common in homes throughout the US, where they build webs in basements and other quiet spaces.

Tips to Control Spiders

Spiders are commonly found in homes and gardens when they have plenty of other pests to feed on.

Here are some ways to try deterring them from your space:

  • Regularly dust to remove webs, egg sacs, and hiding spots.
  • Close gaps around doors, windows, and vents with weather stripping or caulk.
  • In entry points and corners, spray diluted solutions with scents like peppermint oil, vinegar, and citrus.
  • Store firewood, rocks, and compost bins away from the house.
  • Install screens on windows, vents, and doors.
  • Get a professional spider control spray treatment like our reliable Home Shield service.

How Our Professional Spider Spray Treatment Works

Just because spiders help control other pests doesn’t mean you need to share your space with them. An abundance of spiders may also be a sign of other pest problems! Our Home Shield service is the best option for controlling spiders and pests that attract them, such as ants, gnats, and more.  

We use our barrier spray in areas outside where common spiders thrive and breed. To create a thorough treatment plan, we also survey your yard for areas where spiders may enter your home, such as shrubbery near the siding or cracks in the foundation. The treatment kills pests on contact and helps deter them for up to 21 days.

Say Good Riddance to Spiders Around Your Home!

If you’re having trouble with spiders outside and some are even getting inside, the pros at your local Mosquito Squad Plus® can help with reliable spider treatment. We provide quality and reliable spider pest control services; it’s our guarantee!

Frequently Asked Questions

What attracts spiders in the house?

Spiders are attracted to damp or dark areas, such as basements or gutters. Spiders may also enter homes through windows and doors with gaps or damaged screens. Outdoor spider infestation often leads to spiders inside as they search for more food and territory. So, if you’re having spider problems outdoors, it’s essential to get help from The Squad® as early as possible.

Are spiders dangerous?

Although most spiders don’t pose any danger to people, some species can deliver venomous bites that cause serious health issues. The most common venomous spiders in the US are the brown recluse and the black widow. These spiders can be dangerous and should be eliminated by pest control professionals rather than untrained individuals. Luckily, most spiders won’t bite unless they feel trapped or in danger.

Why do I have so many spiders in my house?

Spiders are opportunistic predators and are likely to build many webs around your home if there is prey for them to feed on. Therefore, if you also have other bugs in your home, you’re likely to have spiders.
