Spider Control
Nobody likes uninvited spiders in their home, especially potentially harmful ones.
If your home has problems with these eight-legged pests or if you don’t want to take a chance on ever encountering one, InsectaShield® protection with Bug Zero will set your mind at ease.
Knowing the different species of spiders is not exactly common knowledge.
They can be found in different sizes, colors, and shapes making it difficult to identify the specific species they are. In the case that you are able to identify your pesky intruder, do you know its behavior and diet? Below is some additional spider information.
The 7 most common house spiders

Where do they come from?
One of the first questions our spider exterminators ask when you start noticing any pests is, “where are they coming from?” Spiders normally make their way into homes through cracks, windows, air vents, doors, garages, or any other opening they may find. They can even find those small holes where your cables or pipes connect to your house. Spiders can also be found on clothing, or other items brought in from outside.
What is their behavior and diet?
Spiders follow where their food source goes. That’s why when you start seeing other insects, spiders are normally not too far behind, and a spider pest control expert should be called. As they migrate inside, following their food source, they find either a wet or dry, dark area to hide depending on the type of spider. Ones that prefer a moist space find basements, bathrooms, or crawl spaces to hide. Spiders that prefer drier spaces look for air vents, attics, and room corners.
How can I get rid of house spiders?
DIY methods are largely ineffective. For elimination and consistent prevention, hiring a spider exterminator is your best option.
