Your Guide to Mosquito Squad & Pewaukee Spider Control Solutions

Most spiders aren’t harmful, but even so, many people are unsettled when they come across one unexpectedly, especially within their own homes. Dealing with spiders is no fun – let Mosquito Squad of Waukesha County take the reins and help you out with ourPewaukee spider control solutions!

How Do Spiders Get Inside My Home?

There are two main reasons spiders make their way indoors: food and warmth. During late summer and early fall, spider activity peaks due to mating season. At the same time, the temperature starts to drop, and spiders begin looking for places that are both warm and full of food sources. Your home, especially if it hosts other small insects, becomes an appealing shelter.

Should I Be Concerned About All Types of Spiders?

Most spiders you encounter are more of an unsettling nuisance than a full threat. In fact, having them around can actually be helpful because they can reduce the populations of other insects. We’ve listed some of the most common species below so you know what to look out for.

How Do Mosquito Squad’s Pewaukee Spider Control Services Work?

We want you to feel relaxed when you’re spending time at home, so we have developed a multi-step approach to Pewaukeespider control.

Property Assessment

We begin by identifying key spider hotspots. These tend to be in basements, crawlspaces, behind outdoor furniture, sheds, and garages. Entry points like door thresholds and window frames are also investigated for weaknesses.

Treatment Application

We apply a targeted barrier treatment around your home’s perimeter. This solution remains effective for up to 21 days, during which time it will repel and deter spiders – and other pests, too.

Web Removal & Habitat Disruption

As part of our visit, we’ll sweep away existing webs and nests. Not only will this make your home appear less unkempt, but it will also discourage spiders from returning.
