Spider Control in Greenville, SC

Are you creeped out by spiders living in your home? While spiders usually prefer to keep to themselves and not hurt people, too many in your home can be a problem. It can be good to have a spider or two hanging around to help control other pest populations, but if you have an infestation, Mosquito Squad can keep those creepy crawly spiders out of your home in Greenville, SC!

Why Do Spiders End Up Indoors?

Most people have happened upon a spider or two in their home. While they aren't looking to hurt you, they are looking for a tasty meal and a place to live. Spiders will jump on any opportunity to chow down or find a cozy spot to spin a web, and our homes often provide both. As the weather gets colder, you might notice more spiders hiding out in the dark corners of your home, under furniture, and behind shelves, especially in areas that don't see high foot traffic. They can enter your home through gaps around doors, windows, siding, and foundations that you may not even notice.

Are Spiders Dangerous?

Over 40 species of spiders are found in South Carolina. Luckily, most of them are harmless and don't want to bother people. Their venom isn't harmful to humans. They're just hoping to catch prey in their webs for a delicious meal.

There are only two species of spider in the United States that pose a threat to humans and animals. These are the brown recluse and the black widow. Luckily, both spider species are easy to identify.

Brown recluse spiders have violin-shaped markings on their backs, which make them easily recognizable. They are small, only about half an inch long, and like to hide in spaces that are dry and not regularly used by people. Their light brown color allows them to blend in well with cardboard, dry leaves, and wood, so it's a good idea to get rid of old boxes, leaf litter, and lawn trimmings ASAP.

Black widows are notorious and well-known for the bright red hourglass markings on their backs. They have distinctive body shapes, too, with large abdomens and long, spindly back legs with shorter front legs. They prefer to live in dark, enclosed spaces where they won't be bothered as they wait for prey to cross their paths.
