WHY CONTROL SPIDERS?

Seeing more spiders around your home or webs in quiet corners? While most spiders are harmless, species like black widows and wolf spiders—both common in Iowa—can pose real risks to your family and pets with their venomous bites.

These spiders prefer hidden spaces indoors and outdoors. Effective spider pest control keeps your home safe and free from these potential threats.

1. Take Back Your Space

Spiders shouldn’t make you feel uncomfortable in your home. With professional pest control, you can remove them and stop them from taking over areas like basements, garages, and sheds.

2. Avoid Unwelcome Surprises

Even non-venomous spiders can be unsettling when found indoors. Early intervention helps keep your home spider-free, giving you peace of mind.

3. Protect Your Pets

Wolf spiders, though not aggressive, can bite if disturbed. Professional spider control helps protect your pets from bites and other discomforts.

Spider Control Services

Our spider control services go beyond eliminating visible spiders. We offer targeted treatments designed to stop spiders at the source and prevent them from coming back.

  • Targeted Spider Elimination:

    Our process starts with removing the food sources that attract spiders—reducing the insects they feed on and treating areas where spiders are most likely to hide, like basements, sheds, and cluttered spaces. This method delivers lasting results by cutting off their resources.

  • Prevention for the Future:

    Spider control is about more than just elimination. We help you prevent future infestations by advising on ways to keep your home less inviting to spiders—like clearing out clutter, sealing cracks, and keeping firewood away from your house.

  • Tailored Solutions for Your Home:

    No two homes are the same, and neither are spider problems. Our services are customized to your specific situation, whether you’re dealing with a small spider issue or a larger spider infestation. We make sure to create a plan that offers long-term control for your peace of mind.

Additional Tips for Spider Prevention:

  • 1

    Wear Protective Gear: When handling stored items in cluttered areas like basements or sheds, wear gloves and long sleeves to avoid unwanted spider encounters.

  • 2

    Check Your Insurance: While property insurance may cover the removal of certain pests, like bats, and cleaning up any damage, it often doesn’t include sealing entry points, which is key to preventing spiders from entering.

HOW TO SPOT SPIDER ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Spiders can be hard to spot, but catching early signs of their presence helps manage them effectively. Keep an eye out for these indicators:

1. Webs in Hidden Areas

Check for webs in dark, undisturbed spaces like basements, attics, or storage rooms. Spiders build webs where there’s little movement and fewer disturbances.

2. Spiders Crawling Indoors

Seeing spiders on walls or floors, especially in dimly lit areas, can be a sign they’re breeding. Wolf spiders, active hunters, are often spotted at night.

3. Spider Egg Sacs

Watch for egg sacs in corners, under furniture, or in storage spaces. These sacs can hold dozens of eggs, signaling potential infestations if not addressed.

MAIN ISSUES

  • Bites

  • Contamination of Property

Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful- I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).

She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
