The vast majority of spiders in our region are harmless and even beneficial, feeding on other insects. Still, no one wants webs in the corners or spiders in the basement — and a spider problem usually means there are plenty of other insects for them to eat.
Effective spider control treats both the spiders and the insect prey that draws them, along with removing webs and egg sacs from eaves, corners, and storage areas.
How to identify
- Eight legs and two body segments
- Common house spiders, cellar spiders, and orb weavers
- Webs in corners, eaves, basements, and garages
Signs of an infestation
- Cobwebs in corners, doorways, and eaves
- Egg sacs tucked into sheltered spots
- Spiders concentrated near lights and insect activity
Risks & concerns

- A few (e.g., certain recluse/widow spiders) can bite
- Indicate an underlying insect food source
How we treat spiders
We perform a thorough treatment, remove webs and egg sacs, and reduce the insect prey base with an exterior barrier so spiders have less reason to stay.
Frequently asked questions
Spiders follow their food — other insects. A spider problem almost always signals an existing insect population, so effective control treats both the spiders and the prey base with an exterior barrier.
The vast majority of spiders found indoors in our area are harmless. With our world being so connected through shipping it is possible to have spiders from other parts of the country turn up in a package but this is relatively rare.
