Common Reasons for Spider Infestations

Spiders enter homes for three primary reasons: food, shelter, and warmth. Understanding what attracts them to your property is the first step in effective, long-term control. By identifying these factors, you can help make your home a less inviting environment for these eight-legged pests and their prey.

• Abundant Food Source: Spiders are predators. The presence of other common household insects like flies, ants, crickets, or silverfish provides an ample food supply, making your home an attractive hunting ground for them.
• Available Entry Points: Spiders can slip through the tiniest cracks and gaps in your home's foundation, torn window screens, and openings around utility lines. An unsealed home offers an open invitation for them to move in.
• Ample Shelter and Harborage: Cluttered areas in basements, attics, and garages provide ideal, undisturbed places for spiders to hide, build webs, and lay their eggs. Cardboard boxes, woodpiles, and general storage are common hiding spots.
• Exterior Lighting: Outdoor lights attract a wide variety of flying insects at night. These insects then become a convenient buffet for spiders, encouraging them to build webs near your doors, windows, and porch lights.
• Seasonal Changes: As temperatures drop in the fall, spiders and other pests actively seek warmth and shelter indoors to survive the winter. This often leads to a noticeable increase in spider activity inside your house.

While managing these factors can help reduce their numbers, a persistent spider problem often requires a professional approach. A targeted treatment plan can address the current infestation and create a protective barrier to keep them out for good.

Our Proven Spider Control Process

At Parkway Pest Services, we employ a systematic process developed over 80 years of experience and refined by our in-house entomologists. We don't just eliminate the spiders you see; we target the source of the infestation and implement preventative measures to ensure your home remains protected from future invasions.

• Comprehensive Home Inspection: Our certified technician will start by inspecting your home’s interior and exterior to identify spider species, locate nesting areas, and find potential entry points that spiders are using to get inside.
• Targeted Interior Treatment: We carefully apply safe, effective treatments to cracks, crevices, and other common hiding spots where spiders lurk. Our methods are designed to be responsible for use around your family and pets.
• Exterior Barrier Application: Our primary goal is prevention. We create a protective barrier around your home’s foundation and perimeter. This treatment prevents new spiders and other pests from entering, effectively stopping infestations before they begin.
• Web Removal Service: As part of our comprehensive service, we remove accessible spider webs from the exterior of your home, instantly improving its appearance and removing the tell-tale signs of an active or past infestation.
• Expert Recommendations for Prevention: We provide you with professional advice on long-term prevention, such as sealing entry points and managing exterior lighting, to help make your property less attractive to spiders.

Our goal is a spider-free environment for you and your family. By combining thorough inspection, targeted treatment, and preventative strategies, the Parkway Pest Services team provides a complete solution for your spider control needs.

DIY vs. Professional Spider Treatments

Over-the-counter spider sprays typically only work on direct contact and have no lasting effect. A professional service uses residual products that create a protective barrier, controlling spiders that cross it long after the initial treatment and preventing new spiders from establishing themselves inside your home.

Identifying the specific spider species is key to effective control, especially when dealing with potentially harmful varieties. Trained technicians can correctly identify the spiders in your home and understand their habits, allowing them to apply the most appropriate and effective treatment strategy for that particular species.

A true spider solution addresses the reason they are there in the first place. Professionals can identify and help manage the other insect populations that spiders are feeding on. This integrated approach solves the root cause of the infestation, offering a much more permanent and comprehensive solution.
