All About Black Widow Spiders and Pest Control

Black widow spiders are recluses. They do not like to interact with people. They hide in crevices and cracks around your home, and only come out when they need to. Black widow spiders are also very careful with their venom. They only use it when they feel like they’re being attacked.

The problem, however, is that – because black widows are so good at hiding – you may not realize you’re attacking one. You may pick up a board with your bare hands or put your fingers behind a floorboard and accidentally come close to squishing one, causing these spiders to feel like you’re attacking them. Kids are especially prone to this, as they are less likely to take precautions, and children are also the most likely to be hurt by their bites.

That is why pest control is so important. With professional pest control for black widows (and other pests), you can be more confident that black widow spiders are not making a home out of your property. With the right treatment programs, we can prevent black widow spiders from getting indoors, decrease the outdoor population, and make sure that you and your family are safe.

We do this through:

• Eliminating Existing Spiders – If you have or suspect black widows, our treatment plans use carefully formulated pesticides to eliminate spiders that are currently on your property. We’ll spray them around where these pests hide, especially dark areas like basements
• Creating a Protective Barrier – We then use other treatments that are long lasting to create a protective barrier that these pests struggle to cross. Those that do try to get into your home and come into contact with the barrier will eventually die off, reducing the chances of them living on your property.
• Evaluating Hiding Spots – Black widow spiders are not only indoor pests, but outdoor ones as well. It is not possible to guarantee prevention of all outdoor spiders, but what we can do is find areas that they are likely to hide and discuss tips like removal of excess wood, moving things off the siding, and more, all of which should decrease black widow populations and risk.

No pest control is 100% effective, especially with spiders, as they are able to crawl on walls in ways that help them avoid some pest treatments. So we’ll also discuss with you additional options that are designed to help keep your family safe, and what you can do to reduce your risk – such as sealing up holes and blacking access to your property.
