Spider Control & Prevention Services
While most spiders are harmless, Virginia is home to venomous species including the Black Widow and Brown Recluse. Our spider control eliminates active spiders and prevents future populations.
What to Look For
Warning Signs of a Spider Problem
Abundant Webs
Multiple webs in corners, window frames, eaves, and garage areas — especially if new webs appear quickly after cleaning them down.
Egg Sacs
Round, papery white or brown sacs in web corners or hidden areas. A single egg sac can contain hundreds of spiderlings.
Frequent Sightings
Regularly seeing spiders throughout your home, especially in bedrooms, bathrooms, basements, or crawlspaces.
Black Widow Markings
Shiny black spider with a red hourglass marking on the underside. Found in garages, woodpiles, and dark sheltered areas.
Brown Recluse Features
Light to dark brown violin-shaped marking on the back, most active at night. Found in closets, attics, and under furniture.
Other Insect Infestations
Spiders follow their food source. A large spider population often indicates an underlying insect problem attracting them.
Our Process
Our Treatment Approach
Web Removal
We physically remove all existing webs and egg sacs inside and outside your home every visit — eliminating spiders and preventing eggs from hatching.
Residual Perimeter Treatment
Long-lasting residual insecticide applied along the exterior foundation, window frames, eaves, soffits, and entry points where spiders enter and hide.
Interior Treatment
We treat baseboards, corners, window frames, closets, basements, and crawlspaces — with special attention to garages and storage areas.
Harborage Reduction Advice
We identify conditions attracting spiders: exterior lighting, woodpile placement, mulch near the foundation, and clutter in storage areas.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions

Most house spiders in Virginia are harmless nuisance pests. However, Black Widows and Brown Recluses are present in Hampton Roads and do pose a risk. If you spot a spider you can't identify, it's safer to call us than to risk a bite.

Seal gaps around garage doors, keep the space organized, move woodpiles away from the home, and consider switching exterior lights to yellow bulbs which attract fewer insects. Our perimeter treatment also forms a barrier around garage doors.
