Keep Your Home Spider-Free

Outdoor spiders can be beneficial, but finding them inside is a different story. Spiders in the home can multiply quickly and leave webs throughout the house.

Even common household spiders can deliver painful bites, and dangerous species like the brown recluse can send you to the emergency room.

Our Spider Control Approach

Effective spider control takes more than spraying baseboards. Spiders walk on the tips of their legs, which limits contact with treated surfaces, so we target both the spiders and the insects that attract them.

Know your spider

Dangerous Spiders in Central Illinois

The two most dangerous spiders in Central Illinois homes are the brown recluse and the black widow. Anyone bitten by a spider should seek medical attention and try to bring the specimen for identification.

Brown recluse

Hides in dark, cluttered attics, garages, closets and storage boxes. Bites can develop into a deep ulcer within days.

Black widow

Less common indoors, but found in garages, sheds and woodpiles. Venom affects the nervous system.

Common house spiders

Usually harmless, but they multiply quickly and can still deliver painful bites.

We have had terminix come out to our house for the past few years to spray the exterior of our home to prevent insects. Not only has our house been insect free, but we have not have any issues with our service. Kyle Corbin has been a friendly and professional face for the company and we wouldn't want anyone else to service our property.

Spider Control FAQs

Yes. The brown recluse is found throughout Central Illinois and is one of the most medically significant spiders in the region. They prefer dark, undisturbed spaces like attics, closets, garages, and storage areas. A bite from a brown recluse can develop into a deep ulcer within days and requires medical attention.

Signs of a spider infestation include visible webs in corners, along ceilings, and in basements or garages. You may also notice egg sacs, shed skins, or see spiders regularly in living spaces. If you are seeing spiders frequently indoors, it often means there is also an insect population attracting them.

General pesticides sold over the counter are typically not effective against spiders. Spiders walk on the tips of their legs, minimizing contact with treated surfaces. Professional spider control uses targeted methods that address both the spiders and the insect prey that attracts them to your home.
