It’s time to tell those spiders it’s not their home anymore.
How to Identify Spiders In Your Home
If you’ve started spotting eight-legged intruders skittering across your floors or lurking in dim corners, chances are you’re dealing with a spider problem. While most spiders prefer to stay out of sight, they can quickly make themselves at home in basements, attics, and other low-traffic areas.
Unlike insects that rely on nests, many spiders create webs to trap prey, while others actively roam in search of food, making them harder to track down. Here’s what to watch for if you suspect a spider infestation is creeping into your home:
If you spot these signs, it’s important to take action quickly, as leaving an infestation unchecked could lead to a bigger problem. Keep your spaces clean, reduce clutter, and seal off entry points to help prevent these stealthy predators from making themselves at home.

Spider FAQ: Common Concerns and Expert Answers
Dealing with spiders can be unsettling, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. We’ve gathered answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about wolf spiders, their habits, and how we effectively handle their removal.
We’re here to clear up any confusion and help you take the best steps toward a spider-free home!
Spiders tend to prefer dark, undisturbed areas like basements, garages, and attics, where they can hunt and hide without disturbance. They often hide in cracks, corners, and behind furniture, especially if there is minimal foot traffic. You may also find them in the corners of walls and ceilings, particularly near windows and doors.
One of the clearest signs of a spider infestation is spotting multiple spiders throughout your home, particularly in quiet, dark spaces like basements, attics, and closets. You might also see egg sacs, which often appear as small, round, silken bundles tucked away in corners, under furniture, or along baseboards.
An uptick in other pests, such as flies, ants, or beetles, can also signal a growing spider population since these pests serve as a food source. Seeing webs in corners, sudden spider activity at night, or an unusual number of skittering legs when you turn on a light can all point to an infestation.
Our team begins by thoroughly inspecting your home to locate areas where spiders are likely hiding. We identify their entry points, potential nesting sites, and any other contributing factors that might be attracting them.
Our treatment process includes applying safe, eco-friendly methods that target both the spiders and their habitats. Afterward, we offer advice on preventative measures, like sealing cracks and reducing outdoor lighting, to guarantee that spiders don’t return.
Typically, it takes our team 1-2 visits to fully remove a spider problem. The first visit involves a detailed inspection and treatment, while follow-up treatments guarantee we’ve addressed all the hidden spots and any remaining spiders.
After treatment, the results are usually visible within a few days as spiders begin to disappear. However, if there’s a larger infestation, it might take a little longer, and we’re always happy to schedule additional visits to make sure that your home is fully pest-free.
If you continue to see spiders after our treatment, don’t worry! It’s possible that some spiders may still be lingering, and we’ll happily return for a follow-up visit to address any remaining issues. We may also need to inspect for any new entry points or conditions that could be attracting them.
Our team is committed to your peace of mind and will work with you to make sure your home stays spider-free. Feel free to contact us, and we’ll take immediate action to resolve any concerns.
