Spider Control and Web Removal

Spider Control

Spiders follow their food. A property with a lot of spiders usually has a lot of flying insects, and the exterior lighting is often part of the reason.

The great majority of spiders found in Pennsylvania homes are harmless to people, which does not make them pleasant to live with. What tends to surprise people is that the spider population is a symptom: spiders settle where there is prey, so a porch that collects moths every evening will keep producing webs no matter how often they are cleared.

That is why the treatment looks at the insects as much as the spiders. Exterior lighting that draws flying insects to a doorway, damp basement corners, cluttered garage storage and unscreened vents all contribute. Changing what attracts the prey often does more for a recurring web problem than repeated spraying of the webs themselves.

The visit covers the harborage areas: eaves and soffits, porch ceilings, window wells, garage corners, basement sills and crawl space entries. Webs and egg sacs are removed as part of the work, because leaving egg sacs in place is the fastest route back to where you started.
