Spiders
There’s a reason spiders are a common motif among Halloween decorations: these eight-legged pests are terrifying to encounter. Certain spiders—such as the black widow or the brown recluse—can inflict a venomous bite on unsuspecting people and their pets. However, nonvenomous spiders may also pose a risk. Some species of spiders may bite, causing minor irritation and, in extreme cases, a serious allergic reaction.

Our pest management technicians offer a 12-step comprehensive program, specially designed to tackle infestations on commercial and residential properties in Palatka, Green Cove Springs, Middleburg, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Starke, and Jacksonville.

Signs Of A Spider Infestation
- Spider Webs: Spiders weave webs to trap their prey. If you suspect that you have a spider problem in your home, check any corners, eaves, crawl spaces, or furniture corners for delicate, barely visible web formations.
- Egg Sacs: Spiders lay tiny, silk-wrapped sacs that can contain hundreds of eggs. If you spot these sacs throughout your household, this means that spiders are actively reproducing on your property. Sweep up, vacuum, and carefully dispose of any egg sacs you find.
Spider Prevention Methods
One of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce spider populations indoors is to take preventative measures. If possible, remove any clutter found on the floors. Spiders may be attracted to the dark areas underneath newspapers, magazines, and laundry. Routine clutter removal can deter spiders from hiding in these spaces. Additionally, keep food tightly sealed. Properly stored food will eliminate ants, roaches, and other small insects from your home—leaving spiders without a potential food source.
Thoroughly inspect window screens, doorways, cracks and crevices for possible entry sites. If possible, seal these gaps with caulking, or apply a fine mesh screen to areas you suspect a spider could enter from.
