Spider Control: Houston Exterminator
Many of us would much rather avoid having to deal with spider extermination. Unfortunately, many arachnids choose to make our homes their own. When we come across these 8-legged creatures, it can send a shiver up our spines. It may even signal danger if we have venomous varieties on our property. When looking for help with pest control services in Houston, homeowners know they can trust ABC Home & Commercial Services. ABC's proven spider exterminator experts give our customers peace of mind so they won't have to worry about future close encounters with these common household intruders.
Is Spider Control Necessary?
In their natural habitat, spiders are largely beneficial. They can eat pesky insects such as roaches, aphids, mosquitoes, moths and earwigs, although homeowners cannot count on these creatures for comprehensive pest control since they cannot make much of a dent if there is an actual infestation. While typically not aggressive, a spider can bite when threatened, which can put people at risk when they accidentally stumble upon one when getting something out of the attic, cleaning out a closet or working in the garage.
Black Widow
Brown Recluse
While every spider is technically venomous, there are two species of poisonous spiders here in Houston: the black widow and the brown recluse. Many homeowners cannot identify which type of spider they have come across. The markings can be subtle, making it difficult for a homeowner to distinguish a harmless variety from a harmful one. For peace of mind, enlist the help of spider pest control professionals. Our spider exterminators at ABC can determine whether the spider species on your property is dangerous and let you know if there are any additional pest problems.
What To Expect From ABC Spider Control Experts
ABC Home & Commercial offers free inspections to learn more about your home and any pest control issues. At the end of our pest control inspection, we will provide you with a specialized treatment plan for your spider problem. Once we receive your approval on our pest extermination plan, we will put your first appointment on the schedule.
You can expect your spider pest control professional to:
- Ask you questions about spider activity on your property
- Conduct an initial assessment to see where these pests are hiding and locate potential entry points
- Take note of any structural issues or other unique factors that could make your property more appealing to spiders and other pests.
- If necessary, identify which species of spider is on your property
- Address any of your questions or concerns regarding our pest control protocol
ABC takes a full-property approach to spider control. We start by applying preventative products to your home’s interior and exterior. Since spiders prefer to hide in hard-to-reach places, it may take us a few hours to treat your property entirely. Sometimes, we ask that our customers take their pets elsewhere during that service call to allow treatment products to dry thoroughly.
Prevent Future Spider Infestations
While spiders prefer to stay out of our way, these creatures are standard fixtures in our homes and yards. Spiders prefer to stay in hard-to-reach spots or in more protected areas that are tucked away. To prevent future issues, we may seal up any entry points that spiders and other pests could use to enter your home. Additionally, ABC offers an ongoing pest monitoring program that provides protection from spiders and a variety of other common household invaders on an ongoing basis.
To make your property less attractive to spiders, we generally recommend that homeowners do the following:
- Regularly sweep and vacuum
- Pick up and put away any clutter
- Keep food in tightly sealed containers
- Use airtight storage bins instead of cardboard boxes for storing old items
- Seal up any potential entry points any pests could use to gain access to your home
- Move any vegetation so that it is not touching the exterior of your home
- Practice preventative pest control to minimize the food sources available to a spider
ABC offers an ongoing preventative service for the treatment of spiders. Contact a Houston extermination spider control specialist for a free consultation and a customized treatment plan.

I've had pest control treatments for years, but the level of attention to detail Kevin provided was truly unmatched. He thoroughly treated my attic, exterior windows, and around the home.
