WHY MANAGE SPIDERS IN YOUR HOME?

Noticing more spiders or webs in quiet corners of your home? This could signal that spider activity is increasing. While most spiders are harmless, some, like black widows and wolf spiders—common in Iowa—can be a risk to family and pets, making spider pest control a smart choice.

These spiders often hide in dark spaces and around your yard, which is why proactive spider control is essential to keep your home a safe and comfortable place.

1. Take Back Your Space

Don’t let spiders make you feel uneasy in your own home. With professional spider control, you can prevent them from settling into your basement, garage, and outdoor sheds, helping you keep these spaces yours to enjoy.

2. Reduce Startling Encounters

Even non-venomous spiders can be unsettling when they show up inside. Tackling spider populations early helps minimize these surprises, ensuring your home stays comfortable and spider-free.

3. Keep Pets Safe

Wolf spiders may bite when provoked, posing a risk to pets. Professional spider management protects your family and pets from uncomfortable bites and the anxiety of unexpected spider encounters.

    Our service goes beyond treating the current issue. We also share practical tips, like clearing out cluttered areas and storing firewood away from the home, to prevent spiders from returning and settling back in.

    Every property is different, and so are its pest control needs. Whether you’re dealing with a few unwanted visitors or a larger spider problem, our team customizes a solution that works for you, providing reliable, long-lasting spider control tailored to your space.

Additional Tips for Spider Prevention:

    When moving stored items, especially in cluttered spaces like basements or sheds, wear gloves and long sleeves. This not only shields you from unexpected spider encounters but also helps prevent bites in case spiders are nesting in these areas.

    Some insurance policies may cover costs related to pest removal, including cleaning up after certain pests and replacing insulation. However, be aware that sealing entry points, which is key to preventing spiders and other pests, is typically not covered.

HOW TO SPOT SPIDER ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Spiders can be sneaky, but catching the signs early helps you stay ahead of them. Here’s what to watch for around your home:

1. Webs in Hidden Areas

Look for webs in quiet spots like basements, attics, and storage spaces. Web-building spiders prefer undisturbed areas where there’s minimal activity.

2. Spiders Crawling Indoors

Seeing spiders on floors, walls, or ceilings? Spiders like wolf spiders are active hunters, especially at night, and their presence can indicate an indoor breeding site.

3. Spider Egg Sacs

Check for small, round egg sacs in corners or under furniture. Each sac may contain dozens of eggs, signaling a potential spider infestation if left unchecked.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Bites

  • Contamination of Property

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again.

I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.
