Spider Control and Removal

Spiders are easily recognized by their eight legs, their habit of climbing walls, and their ability to spin webs. They often take up residence in unwanted places like cluttered storage closets, garages, or attics. You’ll commonly find them on ceilings, light fixtures, and window frames.

While most spiders are harmless, a few species can bite humans, usually when accidentally disturbed, like when putting on clothes or shoes where a spider has hidden. Controlling a spider problem on your own can be challenging, and DIY methods don’t always work. That’s when it’s best to call in professionals. At ASM Pest Control, our experienced technicians have dealt with a wide range of spider species and know how to keep them under control.

We are proud of our consistent success in controlling spider populations. Our team treats your property so that spiders remain outside in garden areas, preventing them from entering your home. We offer reliable and safe spider removal solutions to protect your household. Trust our process, and we’ll take care of the rest.

How to tell if there is a spider infestation?

One major sign of having a spider infestation is an excessive amount of spider webs on your property. In order to increase the chances of somehow capturing prey, spiders will try to construct their webs outdoors. Spider webs differ in size and form depending on the species. Some have the shape of an orb, while others resemble funnels.

Spider excrement can have the appearance of a tiny splash of paint or ink since it usually consists of sticky liquids. Spider droppings can be seen on furniture, walls, and floors. Even though the excrement is poisonous, these surfaces may become stained by it.
