Spider control: fewer webs, fewer surprises

Most spiders around Atlanta homes are harmless predators. Control targets the medically important species and the insects that attract spiders.

Most spiders are harmless, but black widow removal and keeping webs off your eaves and garage are common reasons to call.

Call if you notice:

  • Black widows in the garage, shed or crawl space
  • Webs keep returning on eaves and windows
  • Spiders in kids’ rooms or basements

Which spiders matter

Black widows (shiny black with a red hourglass underneath) hide in woodpiles, meter boxes, crawl spaces and garages. Brown recluse spiders are uncommon in metro Atlanta compared with states to the west, and many suspected recluse sightings turn out to be other spiders. Spider identification.

Control approach

  1. Reduce prey

    Exterior lights draw insects. Switching to warm-spectrum or yellow bulbs reduces the insects spiders feed on.

  2. Remove webs and egg sacs

    Eaves, window frames, garages.

  3. Treat harborage

    Labeled treatments in crawl spaces, voids and exterior cracks.

  4. Declutter

    Boxes, woodpiles and debris near the foundation.

How it works

  1. Call

    Tell us what you’re seeing, where, and for how long. Photos help.

  2. Inspection

    A technician checks the house, crawl space or basement, attic access and yard, and finds the source, not just the symptoms.

  3. Your plan

    You get the treatment options that fit your home, what each involves, and the factors that set the cost, before any work starts.

  4. Treatment & follow-up

    Targeted treatment, practical fixes you can make, and follow-up visits where the pest needs them.

Frequently asked questions

Are wolf spiders dangerous?

Wolf spiders are large and fast but not considered medically significant. They usually wander in from outdoors.

Should I get rid of every spider?

No. Most spiders eat insects and are harmless. Focus on black widows in garages, sheds and crawl spaces, and on heavy webbing around doors and eaves.

What should I do if I think a black widow bit me?

Seek medical care, especially if pain spreads or you feel unwell. In the US you can call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for advice.
