Spider Inspection & Removal

Spiders are beneficial due to their role as predators of insects; however, they are still a nuisance pest as many people fear or dislike spiders because of their appearance and speed of travel. Common spider species found in the northwest are unlikely to cause any life-threatening bites but some species like the black widow are prevalent in certain areas of the state. For most people it is not the bite but merely the presence of spiders that initiate the calls for service!

• Inspection – A thorough inspection will determine the level of activity. Based on the findings, your technician will create a tailored treatment plan and make recommendations for preventative measures.

• Treatment – A typical plan will include treatment of the interior baseboards and placement of glue boards to quickly eliminate spiders and general pests that act as a food source for spiders inside the home. Outside treatment consists of knocking down webs, crushing egg sacs, and the treatment of window and door frames, eaves, and foundation to help reduce activity around the home.
• Follow up – Treatment for spiders can reduce activity by 70 – 80 percent. However, due to the biology of spiders, regular follow-up treatments are recommended to protect the home against future infestations.
