Most people have strong opinions about spiders—and make an active effort to stay clear of them. However, there is a difference between ignoring the presence of one or two eight-legged arachnids in your home and an infestation. Therefore, consider the following reasons to call for pest control.

When to Call Pest Control About a Spider Infestation

1. Persistent Spider Webs & Cobwebs

Do you find spider webs and cobwebs throughout your home—in doorways, on ceilings, under furniture, and in other dark and cluttered spaces? Spiders can produce these elaborate structures in an hour, making it difficult to clean up after their messes—especially if they choose an out-of-reach location. Their presence can make your home less appealing to both yourself and guests.

2. Spider Bites

Spiderman is misleading: spider bites don’t lead to superpowers, but they can cause discomfort and, in some cases, life-threatening complications for you and your beloved pets. Black widows and brown recluses are infamous for their dangerous bites. Other species might just leave you with an itchy, red reminder of their presence. Spiders are difficult to catch and hard to spot, so leave it to the professionals to exterminate your problem. 

3. Pest Prevention

Unlike other bugs and rodents, spiders are known to do some good for your home by trapping unwanted pests. However, there are limits to their usefulness. While addressing your spider problem, a pest control professional might find evidence, in the spiders’ webs, of other infestations, so that they can treat these as well. You’ll sleep better knowing you’ve confronted all threats to your home.
