Spiders are a bother for several reasons. They can create a health hazard even if they aren’t poisonous, as their webs collect dirt and bacteria. They’re pros at finding hidden and small spaces, so it’s extra tricky to remove them. Although most spider bites aren’t harmful, nobody wants pests crawling around their home. Your local team at Mosquito Squad® Plus can help you eliminate spiders so you and your family can enjoy life without unwanted company. We’ll treat your yard to deter spiders before they consider infiltrating the house. There are a few steps you can take to keep them out, too!
The goliath spider is the world’s biggest spider. Its legs can span up to 12 inches long, and its fangs can grow up to an inch! It hunts larger prey like frogs, mice, snakes, and birds.
Spiders play a role in controlling insect populations in a range of environments. There are over 52,000 species of spiders, and they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.
The most common spiders found in and around homes in the US include the American house spider, grass spider, and brown recluse. Learn about common types of spiders:
American house spiders are small and gray or brown, with a round abdomen and faint white markings. They are often mistaken for young black widows due to their shape. They make messy, tangled webs in corners of basements, garages, and ceilings. Although they can be a bother, house spiders are harmless.
Grass spiders are brown with dark stripes running along their body. They build funnel-shaped webs, commonly in grass. They are fast-moving, which makes them great hunters. When insects wander into their webs, grass spiders quickly dart out from the center of the funnel to capture them.
True to the name, the brown recluse is light to dark brown and skilled at staying out of sight. It thrives in warm, dry, and undisturbed areas like attics, closets, and wood piles. This spider is nocturnal and often hides in crevices during the day. The brown recluse is infamous for its venomous bite. However, while it may cause nausea or pain, a bite rarely causes a severe reaction.

Wolf spiders are large, hairy, and brown or gray with patterns that help them blend into their surroundings. Unlike web-building spiders, they actively hunt prey on the ground, often in grass, leaf litter, or around homes. Because they are hunters, they prefer gardens, fields, wooded areas, and other spaces with hiding spots.
Cellar spiders, often called "daddy long legs," are pale with thin, long legs and small bodies. They are harmless, slow-moving, and common in homes throughout the US, where they build webs in basements and other quiet spaces.
