Our Approach to Spider Control in Maryland, D.C., and Virgina Homes
Getting rid of spiders is precisely what our pest control experts are trained to do. Whether you have spiders in the basement, in the kitchen, or your bathroom, the key to a spider-free home is finding and eliminating the food sources.
Spiders are attracted to any spaces that provide them with food, especially lots of insects that can be trapped in webs or chased down. They prefer areas that are rarely cleaned or otherwise disturbed, which is why dark basements, attics, garages, and outbuildings so often are homes to spiders.
In order to keep your home free of spiders it’s crucial to have a regular pest service that keeps both insects and spiders controlled. Pests problems won’t be solved overnight, and eliminating just one pest will increase the activity of other intruders.
When you hire one of our spiders exterminators, you get a high-quality individual who has been trained in the biology of spiders, who will come to your home armed with all the supplies necessary to get the job done right. He or she will talk with you about your spider problem, provide a thorough inspection, and begin treatments right away.
How We Do It
Initial Inspection
We will perform a detailed inspection of the environment surrounding your home or business to identify the type of spider, paying special attention to those places where they use to find food sources like small flies, mosquitoes, and other invertebrate insects.
Dewebbing and Treatment
Once our pest experts have identified spider activity, they will remove all the spider nests found and seal those cracks and holes through which spiders pass.
Follow up Treatment
We know the best way to control running and jumping spiders at home is to reduce their food sources around the house. Spiders eat insects, so we will help you eliminate these insect populations in your home, to keep spiders away from your property.

Common Spiders Found in Maryland, Virginia and DC
Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia are home to a variety of different species of spiders. The most notable spiders to be found in Baltimore, Washington DC, Alexandria, and throughout our region include:
Black Widow
They are roughly ½ inch in length, appearing oily black in color, and include any number of defining reddish marks. They’re generally found outdoors, preferring dark, undisturbed corners in basement window wells, barns, garages, and other structures. Although rarely resulting in death, the black widow bite is venomous.
Brown Recluse Spider
The brown recluse body is about 1/3rd of an inch in length with long, shiny, smooth legs. The top, front of this spider is marked with a dark brown, violin-shaped design. They prefer to live in quiet, undisturbed places and bites usually occur when humans accidentally contact with them while cleaning out under beds, in beds, in garages or while rummaging through boxes of old clothing.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders are large, hairy spiders that can grow to nearly an inch in length. These spiders live solitary lives, but do not sit quietly in webs waiting for their prey. Wolf spiders are often feared by humans (due to their great size) but they seldom bite and are not considered dangerous.
