Spider Control in Hampton Roads

Spiders can be both fascinating and frightening, but when they invade your home or business, they become a serious concern. In Hampton Roads, the warm, humid climate creates an ideal environment for a variety of spider species. While most are harmless, some can pose risks to your health and comfort. Our professional spider control services are designed to eliminate infestations, prevent their return, and give you peace of mind.

Common Spiders in Hampton Roads

Black Widow Spiders

Recognizable by their shiny black bodies and red hourglass markings, black widows are venomous and potentially dangerous. Their bites can cause severe reactions, making professional control essential.

Brown Recluse Spiders

These reclusive spiders are light brown with a distinct violin-shaped marking on their backs. Brown recluse bites can lead to serious skin reactions and require prompt medical attention.

House Spiders

Common in homes throughout Hampton Roads, house spiders are usually harmless but can be a nuisance when they spin webs in corners, ceilings, and other areas of your property.

Wolf Spiders

Wolf spiders are larger and more robust, often mistaken for tarantulas. While not dangerous, their size and quick movements can alarm homeowners.

Orb-Weaver Spiders

Known for their intricate, circular webs, orb-weavers are typically found in gardens and outdoor areas. While they help control insect populations, their large webs can become an annoyance.

Signs of a Spider Infestation

• Frequent Webs: Seeing spider webs in corners, basements, attics, or outdoor spaces is a clear sign of spider activity.
• Sightings: Spotting spiders indoors, especially larger or venomous species, indicates a growing population.
• Egg Sacs: Spider egg sacs, often found in secluded areas, can hatch dozens of new spiders if not removed.
• Increased Insect Activity: A higher number of insects in your home can attract spiders seeking food sources.

How Our Spider Control Services Work

Comprehensive Inspection

Our team begins by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify spider species, activity levels, and entry points. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan to your specific needs.

Targeted Treatments

We use safe, effective treatments to eliminate spiders at their source. Our methods include:

• Web Removal: Removing existing webs to reduce spider activity and discourage new web-building.
• Insect Control: Reducing the spider’s food supply by addressing underlying insect infestations.
• Barrier Treatments: Applying treatments around windows, doors, and other entry points to prevent spiders from entering.

Prevention Strategies

To minimize the chance of future infestations, we provide guidance on:

• Sealing cracks and crevices where spiders may enter.
• Reducing clutter in basements, attics, and garages.
• Managing outdoor lighting to avoid attracting insects that spiders prey on.
