Common Spiders We Find During Pest Control Inspections
Understanding the different types of spiders in Virginia can help you identify potential threats in your home:
The American House Spider: Scary But Non-Lethal
The spiny-legged and mostly common American House Spider are scary to some, but non-lethal if bitten. The webs created by American House Spiders are classic and messy webs like your parents used to make with cotton on the porch for Halloween. It is commonly known as the cobweb. The American House Spider has long, skinny legs and hairs on the back of their ankles. They are skilled hunters with the ability to kill their insect victims with merely one bite. Though they rarely pay any mind to humans, they are sometimes mistaken for their close cousin, the Black Widow.
Black Widow: One of The Most Dangerous Spider Bites
The Black Widow is indeed found in your area of Virginia, but like to stay hidden in dark places. They are often found in wood piles, stacks of cinder blocks, or even crawl spaces. These spiders unlike the common American House Spider prefer to be behind the scenes, and also spin their webs out of site. The Black Widow is a concern if a human is bitten. We suggest you immediately seek medical attention if you believe you or a loved one have been bitten by a Black Widow. If you can, try to take the body of the spider with you where a medical professional can determine the type of spider so they know how to treat you.
Brown Recluse Spiders: Extremely Dangerous Spiders
Brown recluse spiders, also known as violin spiders, are venomous arachnids that are typically found in the southern and central United States. They are approximately the size of a quarter and have a distinct violin-shaped marking on their back. Their venom can cause severe skin necrosis, or tissue death, and in rare cases, can even lead to death. At Bug Busters Pest Control, we understand the danger that brown recluse spiders pose and take their control very seriously.
Important Warning About Dangerous Spiders
Teach your children about the distinguishing mark of the Black Widow, as the RED markings on its body will help to quickly identify them. As always though, make sure that your children know that if they want to play in areas of your yard that are good hiding spots, they may be introduced to the Black Widow without even wanting to meet one. If you suspect a brown recluse or black widow bite, seek medical attention immediately.
Our Professional Spider Control Process
Our team of trained and experienced exterminators will thoroughly address your spider problem with our comprehensive approach:
Complete Inspection
We thoroughly inspect your property to identify existing spider infestations, the species present, and potential entry points that need to be addressed.
Customized Treatment
Based on our findings, we develop a targeted treatment plan for your specific spider issues, using spider-specific treatments that are effective yet environmentally responsible.
Exclusion Methods
We seal up cracks, gaps, and openings in your home's exterior to prevent spiders from entering, focusing on common entry points around windows, doors, and utility penetrations.
Follow-up & Prevention
We offer ongoing maintenance programs to ensure continued protection from spiders, with regular inspections and treatments to prevent new infestations from developing.
Signs of a Spider Infestation
Early detection of spider activity can help prevent extensive infestations. Watch for these common indicators:
- Excessive Webs: An unusual number of spider webs in corners, ceilings, basements, or other undisturbed areas.
- Spider Sightings: Regularly seeing spiders inside your home, especially during daytime.
- Egg Sacs: Small silk sacs that contain dozens or hundreds of spider eggs.
- Shed Skins: Spiders shed their exoskeletons as they grow, leaving behind translucent shells.
- Insects: An increase in other insects may attract more spiders as they seek food.
- Bites: Unexplained bites on family members, especially overnight.
- Dark Corners: Notice spiders primarily in undisturbed, dark areas like basements, attics, or crawl spaces.
Professional Tip
To help reduce spider populations on your property, keep vegetation trimmed away from your home's foundation, remove clutter where spiders can hide, install screens on windows and doors, seal external cracks and openings, and reduce exterior lighting that attracts insects (which in turn attracts spiders). Regular cleaning, especially dusting and vacuuming webs, can also help discourage spiders from settling in your home.
