It’s safe to say that most spider injuries are caused by tripping over furniture while trying to run away from them. That’s not to say they can’t bite, just not nearly as often as claimed.
While many species have venom, most spiders are harmless and are crucial in controlling insect populations. They’re like nature’s tiny pest control experts, quietly keeping our homes and gardens free from bugs.
But nobody wants to share a room with them or clean up after them.
The vacuum cleaner is your best first line of defense for the occasional spider.
Outdoors, keeping plants and insect harborage, like leaf litter, away from your home’s foundation will reduce the number of insects available for spiders to eat. Additionally, taking control of light sources around your home can dramatically reduce the number of flying insects attracted to your home and, hence, the number of spiders in your home.
Your technician will submit a written report with observations and recommendations that will help prevent future infestations and guide you on steps to get the best performance from your service. Depending on the conditions, your technician will recommend a combination of trapping, baiting, and repairs to keep animals from returning.
We will monitor performance whether you choose to address the immediate infestation or opt for our inclusive Flagship pest prevention to confirm that the program is effective. We back this service for 90 days
