Spider Control for Homes and Businesses

Spiders hide in quiet corners, eaves, basements and garages, and many leave webs behind. Every Liberty pest control plan covers spiders, and your Service Specialist clears spider webs as part of your visits.

How to identify

  • Eight legs and two body sections, with no antennae or wings.
  • Most house spiders are brown, gray or black and small to medium in size.
  • Many build webs in corners. Others hunt on the ground and don't use webs to catch prey.

Common spiders in our area

  • Common house spider

    Parasteatoda tepidariorum

    Look for
    A small spider, about 1/4 inch or less, with a round dirty-white to brown abdomen marked with gray chevrons and yellowish legs with darker rings.
    Where you'll find it
    Builds tangled cobwebs in room corners, window frames, basement joists and damp crawl spaces.
  • Long-bodied cellar spider

    Pholcus phalangioides

    Look for
    A pale tan spider with a long, narrow body and extremely long, thin legs.
    Where you'll find it
    Hangs upside down in loose, messy webs in basements, garages and other dark, quiet corners all year.
  • Wolf spiders

    Lycosidae (several species)

    Look for
    A hairy, dark brown spider that runs down its prey on the ground instead of spinning a web; females carry their egg sac with them.
    Where you'll find it
    Lives in grass and leaf litter and wanders indoors now and then, but doesn't settle in and stay.
  • Black widow spiders

    Latrodectus (several species)

    Look for
    A glossy black spider about 1/2 inch long with a round abdomen and red markings.
    Where you'll find it
    Hides in quiet outdoor spots like woodpiles, rock piles and dark corners of garages and sheds.

Signs you have them

  • Webs in corners, eaves, porch ceilings and window frames
  • Spiders in basements, garages and crawlspaces
  • Small round egg sacs tucked into webs

Where they're found

Spiders hide in quiet places like eaves, porch lights, basements, garages and crawlspaces, and in clutter and stored boxes.

How Liberty treats it

Covered by every plan
  1. Inspection

    When you choose a plan online, a local Service Advisor visits your home for free to confirm it's the right plan. On your first visit, your Service Specialist does a thorough inspection inside and outside to see how many spiders there are, where they're getting in and what draws them, like clutter, outdoor lights and the insects spiders feed on.

  2. Treatment

    • Web removalYour Service Specialist knocks down spider webs and wasp nests around eaves, porch ceilings and window frames.
    • Perimeter barrierOutside, they apply a perimeter barrier around your home's foundation for crawling insects, to help keep spiders and the insects they feed on outside.
    • Inside treatmentYour first visit always includes treatment inside where spiders hide, like basements and corners, and on later visits they treat inside only if it's needed and ask you first.
  3. Follow-up

    Your Service Specialist comes back every 3 months to inspect, clear webs and treat around your home, which helps keep spiders from settling back in. If covered pests show up between visits, just text us.

Your guys did a great job, and I sure appreciate it! Jaxon did a thorough inspection, quote, and patiently answered my many questions. Darrell and his working partner were punctual, efficient, and explained everything thoroughly! Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you all.

Locally owned and operated business that is everything we could have hoped for. Knowledgeable, professional, friendly, respectful and honest. They really make a difference. Bill and Trai made quick work while still having the old fashioned way of doing business. So pleased to be able to share Liberty’s name and help others leave the corporations behind. They do what they say and answer the phone when you call. The company name may be newer but the amount of experience with each employee we have met is not. Great wealth of skill and knowledge. Truly a blessing.

Gabe was very nice and professional. He did a great job! This was our first contract with Liberty so we had to pay the initial fee and set up an acct. for every 3 months for regular service. Everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them to others!

DIY prevention tips

  • Vacuum or sweep away webs and egg sacs regularly, especially in basements, closets and garages.
  • Cut down clutter in storage areas so spiders have fewer quiet places to hide.
  • Install door sweeps and keep window screens tight and in good repair.
  • Move firewood, stacked items and debris away from the foundation, and trim back shrubs and vines touching the house.
  • Use yellow bulbs at outside doors, since they draw fewer of the night-flying insects spiders feed on.

Common questions

Are spiders covered by my plan?

Yes. Spiders are covered by every plan.

Why do I have so many spiders in my house?

Spiders come inside looking for shelter and food. Homes with lots of insects, clutter or bright outdoor lights near the doors tend to see more spiders.

Are house spiders dangerous?

If you're worried about a bite, contact your doctor. We focus on finding and treating the spiders in your home.

How can I tell if a spider is a brown recluse?

Brown recluse spiders have a dark violin-shaped mark on the back and six eyes in three pairs. They aren't part of our plans, and brown recluse remediation starts with a free inspection.

How can I keep spiders out of my house?

Cut down on clutter, sweep away webs and seal gaps around windows and doors. Trim shrubs back from the house and use yellow bulbs in outdoor lights, which draw fewer insects.
