The Ehrlich spider treatment process

Our pest control teams across the U.S. follow an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to spider control. Rather than just treating what's visible, we target the conditions that attract spiders in the first place: insect activity, clutter, moisture, and easy entry points. Our spider removal service follows a clear, three-step process to help protect what matters most to you.

Step 1: Inspection

We start with a thorough inspection.

 

  • Identify the spider species present
  • Locate webs, egg sacs, and key hiding spots
  • Assess the scale of the infestation
  • Pinpoint what's attracting spiders to your property, including insect activity and entry points

Step 2: Treatment

Our treatments are tailored to your circumstances.

 

  • Residual liquid treatments to cracks, crevices, and entry points
  • Residual dust to ceiling voids, crawlspaces, and undisturbed areas
  • Passive monitors and traps in high-activity zones
  • Web and egg sac removal
  • Minor gap sealing to help prevent re-entry

Step 3: Prevention

We help reduce the risk of spiders coming back.

  • Advice on reducing insect activity — the primary food source for spiders
  • Recommendations to eliminate attractants
  • Ongoing monitoring as part of your service agreement
  • Follow-up visits if spider activity persists

 

For businesses dealing with persistent spider activity (particularly in warehouses, storage facilities, or food-handling environments), our commercial spider control services are tailored to your operation and compliance needs.

Why is professional spider control important?

Most spiders are harmless, but high numbers indoors are often a sign of a broader pest problem. Venomous species like the black widow and brown recluse can also pose a genuine risk, particularly to children and pets. Professional treatment helps address both the spiders and the conditions drawing them in.

For businesses, visible spider activity can affect customer confidence and raise compliance concerns in regulated environments. Our commercial pest control services are designed to help keep your operation running without disruption.

Our residential pest control plans, PestFree365 and PestFree365+, offer year-round coverage from common household pests, including spiders.¹ 

PestFree365+ also covers black widow and brown recluse spiders, which may require more specialized treatment.²

Seeing spiders?

Some spider activity is normal, and while they’re a bit scary, they play a role in controlling other insects. But when numbers start to climb, or you spot a species that poses a greater risk, it's time to act. Common signs that you may need professional spider removal include:

  • Frequent sightings around windows, ceilings, and corners
  • Clusters of webs or multiple egg sacs in undisturbed areas
  • Seeing venomous species such as the black widow or brown recluse
  • A noticeable increase in other insect activity (a key food source for spiders)
  • Repeated infestations despite regular cleaning or DIY attempts at spider control

If any of these sound familiar, get in touch with us today. Our spider control services are available for both homes and businesses across the East Coast.

Frequently asked questions

Spiders are drawn indoors by the presence of other insects, which are their primary food source. Warmth, clutter, and dark, undisturbed spaces like basements, garages, and closets also make ideal hiding spots.

Most house spiders are harmless and pose little threat to people. However, venomous species like the black widow and brown recluse can be found in homes across the U.S., and their bites can cause serious reactions.

House spiders can bite, but they rarely do so unless they feel threatened. For most people, a bite causes only minor irritation. If you experience severe symptoms following a spider bite, consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Our technicians start with a thorough inspection to identify species, entry points, and conditions encouraging activity. Treatment typically includes targeted applications to key areas, web removal, and recommendations to address the underlying pest activity drawing spiders in. For ongoing protection, our PestFree365+ plan helps keep spiders and other pests at bay year-round.

The cost of spider exterminators depends on a few factors, including the size of your property, the severity of the infestation, and the treatment required. The best way to get an accurate picture is to book a free inspection with us. One of our technicians will assess the situation and provide a tailored recommendation.

A high number of spiders usually points to an abundance of other insects in or around your home. Spiders go where the food is.

Factors like poor sealing around doors and windows, outdoor lighting that attracts insects, and cluttered storage areas can all contribute. A professional spider treatment can help address both the spiders and the conditions making your home so inviting.
