Spiders are usually harmless, typically minding their own business in the corners of your home and eating other insects. However, when you notice more spiders than usual or begin seeing certain types of spiders, your home may need professional spider control solutions.
If you’re not sure if your spider problem requires professional intervention, our team at Quality Control, Inc. is here to offer the advice and services you deserve. Below, we’ve listed a few questions that you should ask yourself before contacting a spider control professional. If you believe that you need assistance, we encourage you to give us a call for the prompt and effective solutions you need.
- What species are you dealing with? No one likes spider bites, but some spider bites are more serious than others. For example, the southeastern U.S. is home to two of the most dangerous spiders: the black widow and the brown recluse. The black widow has a red hourglass-shaped mark on its back, while the brown recluse has a dark violin-shaped mark on its back. Both are venomous and can be deadly, so you’ll want to call for spider control if you spot them.
- Is it an infestation? Small garden spiders are an example of spiders that shouldn’t worry you, but if there is an active infestation, then you will need professional spider control. If the population is large and you keep seeing tons of spiders around your home, regardless of the species, don’t hesitate to call.
- Are there lots of webs? You might not see many spiders, but if you see several new webs in or around your home, that’s a key sign you should call for spider control. You should also look out for egg sacs and let a professional deal with them.
