Common Spiders Found in Houston

Houston's climate supports a wide variety of spider species, and while most are harmless, a few pose a significant danger to humans and pets. Being able to identify the spiders you are dealing with is the first step in understanding the risk and determining the need for professional intervention.

• Black Widow Spiders: Known for their shiny black bodies and the iconic red hourglass marking on the female's abdomen. They prefer dark, undisturbed areas like woodpiles, garages, and crawl spaces. A bite from a Black Widow is venomous and requires immediate medical attention.
• Brown Recluse Spiders: Identified by their uniform brown color and a darker, violin-shaped marking on their back. They are notoriously shy and hide in dark, secluded spots like closets, attics, and behind furniture. Their bite can cause severe necrotic skin lesions.
• Wolf Spiders: These large, hairy spiders are hunters and do not build webs to catch prey. They are often found on the ground level and can be alarming due to their size, but their bite is not considered medically significant to humans.
• Jumping Spiders: Small, agile spiders that are active during the day. They are known for their curious nature and excellent vision. While they can bite in defense, their venom is not harmful to people.
• Common House Spiders: These are the spiders most often responsible for the classic cobwebs you find in corners and windows. They are nuisance pests but pose no threat to your family.

If you suspect you have Black Widows or Brown Recluses, do not attempt to handle them. Contact a professional for safe identification and removal.

Our Approach to Spider Control

At Preventive Pest Control, we tackle spider infestations with a comprehensive strategy that goes beyond just spraying. We focus on eliminating the current population, removing their food source (other insects), and creating a barrier to prevent them from coming back into your Houston home.

Our proven spider control process includes these key steps:

• In-Depth Property Inspection: Our service begins when one of our expert technicians inspects your home's interior and exterior. We identify the types of spiders present, locate nesting areas, and determine how other pests may be attracting them to your property.
• Web Removal and De-Webbing: An important step in our process is the physical removal of webs, egg sacs, and spiders from the eaves, corners, and other areas around your home. This immediately improves your home's appearance and removes the next generation of spiders.
• Targeted Interior and Exterior Treatment: We apply targeted treatments to areas where spiders are active and likely to enter. Our Shield Protection system creates a powerful barrier around your home’s foundation, windows, and doorways to keep spiders and other pests out.
• Long-Term Prevention: Our team at Preventive Pest Control provides ongoing pest control that manages the insects and spiders that feed on it. By eliminating their food supply, we make your property a far less attractive place for spiders to live, ensuring long-lasting results.

This multi-faceted approach ensures we address every angle of your spider problem, delivering a solution you can count on.
