Spiders
Araneae spp.
How to Identify
– Look for webs in corners and under eaves.
– Check woodpiles, sheds, and stacked boxes for spiders.
– Notice long legs and small bodies in low light.
– See egg sacs tucked in quiet storage areas.
Health Risks
Most US house spiders are harmless to humans; medically significant species include the black widow (Latrodectus spp.) with neurotoxic venom and the brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa) with necrotic venom; bites from these species require prompt medical attention.
Most Boise spiders do no harm. Black widows live in woodpiles and need care.
Our Treatment Method
Reduce prey insect populations (spiders follow food); residual perimeter and interior spray to contact and deter; web removal to discourage harborage; sticky traps for monitoring.
We cut the bugs that feed spiders first. Then we remove webs and treat hiding spots.
Prevention Tips
– Seal cracks, gaps, and utility penetrations to block entry from outside.
– Reduce clutter in basements, garages, and storage areas where spiders hide.
– Shake out shoes, gloves, and clothing stored in low-traffic areas before wearing.
– Install yellow or sodium vapor exterior lighting to reduce flying insect attraction.
– Wear gloves when working in woodpiles, sheds, or other undisturbed spaces.
– Turn off bright porch lights at night near doors.
– Keep basements dry and store boxes on shelves.
– Move woodpiles away from the house wall.
– Wear gloves when you handle old boxes or brush.
