Spider Control FAQ's

  • Do spiders infest homes?

    Spiders do not infest like insects but may establish harborage areas indoors.

  • Will spider treatments eliminate webs?

    Treatments reduce spider populations and web-building activity over time.

  • Why do I have spiders if I do not see insects?

    Spiders often indicate hidden insect activity that provides a food source.

  • How do spiders spin webs?

    Spiders produce silk from spinnerets at the end of their abdomen. They use different types of silk threads to anchor, build, and strengthen webs for catching prey or protecting themselves.

  • What are the different types of spiders?

    There are tens of thousands of spider species worldwide, including common house spiders, orb-weavers that build large circular webs, ground-welling wolf spiders, and larger species like tarantulas.

  • Are spiders dangerous?

    Most spiders are harmless to people and help control insects. A few species have medically significant bites, so suspicious bites or severe reactions should be evaluated by a medical professional.

  • How can I get rid of spiders?

    Reduce clutter and insects they feed on, vacuum up webs and egg sacs, seal cracks around doors and windows, and use spider‚Äëlabeled products carefully where needed. For heavy activity, professional treatment is recommended.

  • What do spiders eat?

    Most spiders feed on insects and other small arthropods, which makes them natural pest controllers. Larger species may occasionally prey on small vertebrates.

Spiders may be unwelcome guests in your home, but here at Aruza we’re somewhat of the arachnid aficionados and pest control experts, we’re here to assure you that these creatures, while possibly a bit unnerving, are generally harmless. 

However, if your house is starting to look like a cave from an Indiana Jones film, it may be time to consider taking action.

Arachnids – the family to which spiders belong – come with a standard eight-leg package and no antennae. With more than 45,000 known species, spiders are as diverse as they are ubiquitous. As predators, they help control insect populations by including them in their daily menu. Most spiders are opportunistic hunters, building webs that trap unsuspecting prey that may crawl or fly into them. In fact, certain species of spiders such as the black widow have curiously strong webs; in terms of weight, their webs are actually stronger than steel.

  •  

While they may have a superhero and a few horror movies to their name, spiders are usually more of a nuisance than a nightmare. They can fill your house with cobwebs and give you an occasional jump scare, but most species pose little to no threat to humans. Only a select few have venom potent enough to cause harm. Fortunately, bites from these spiders are incredibly rare and don’t always contain venom – these are known as dry bites. 

The good news for you though is that even if you are envenomated, hospitals and doctors are well equipped to deal with dangerous spider bites and you’re usually discharged feeling well in no time.

Identify the Spider: With thousands of spider species, knowing what you’re dealing with can significantly help inform (and prepare) your removal strategy.‍

  • Block Entry Points: Think of spiders as unwanted guests sneaking in through the back door. Locate any potential access points, like small cracks and gaps, and seal them with caulk or weather stripping. But bear in mind, they could very easily sneak in when you open a door or window.
  • Eliminate Food Sources: Spiders, like us, need food. So, maintaining a clean environment with no accessible food sources such as pet food, crumbs, or trash can discourage spiders from taking up residence.
  • Set Spider Traps: Depending on your arachnid intruder’s species, various traps are available. Make sure you’re choosing the right tool for the job.‍
  • Call in the Experts: If there’s enough spider silk in your home to set up a clothing factory, it may be time to call a professional exterminator. While there are some in-store products that can treat spiders, it’s best to call the professionals as these chemicals may be harmful to you and your loved ones. A professional will best help you to determine the severity and solution of the infestation.
