SPIDERS

Spider Facts:

Fall is peak season for many spider species.

  • One female spider can live 3 years and they produce 6-21 Silken egg sacs, each containing 185-464 eggs during their lifetime.
  • Something all 45,000 species of spiders have in common is that they all spin silk.
  • One spider can produce up to seven different types, each used for a different purpose such as spinning webs or capturing prey.
  • Jumping spiders can jump up to 50x their own length.
How can I tell if a spider is poisonous?

Generally speaking, the most common types of poisonous spiders you’ll encounter are the brown recluse and black widow. The black widow is clearly recognizable from the large red hourglass-shaped marking visible on their abdomen. The brown recluse can be slightly more difficult to identify, but it’s certainly possible to do. Look for violin-shaped marking on top of the thorax, as this is their most distinguishing feature. If you encounter a spider in your home that you believe is poisonous, exercise extreme caution. Consider contacting Absolute Pest Control for expert assistance.

How do I keep spiders out of my home?

There are some simple steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of spiders entering your home. First, be sure that your home is thoroughly sealed. Go around the outside of your home and check that windows, doors, and other points of entry are caulked, and weather stripped. Next, check the exterior and interior of your home for spider webs. If you find webs in your garage, in your basement, or crawlspace, use a vacuum to remove them.

Our specialists can help you identify an infestation before it gets out of hand and rid your house of spiders. Contact us and learn how our Pest Shield Prevention Program can help eliminate spiders from your home.

Travis did a great job on my property today! He was very friendly and listened carefully to the additional things I was asking him. He sprayed inside the house and the perimeter, deck, shed and under the eaves, as well as laying several mouse baits. I used Absolute for the first time last year and was extremely happy with their service, professionalism, and the friendly technicians they have. I will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone who needs a great pest control company.

Aaron and his associate did a quick and efficient disposable of a large bees’ nest in our attic. It was difficult to reach, but they got it out. Aaron took the time to explain a bit about infestation and how to combat it. He was thorough and knowledgeable. We will be using future services.
