Spider Control
Professional spider control services in Denver & the Front Range
While most spiders in Colorado are harmless, brown recluse and black widow spiders pose real health risks. Even non-dangerous spiders create unsightly webs and cause discomfort. Our spider control treatments target habitats, entry points, and food sources for lasting results.
Dangerous Spiders in Colorado
The brown recluse and black widow are the two medically significant spiders found in the Denver area. Brown recluse spiders hide in dark, undisturbed areas like closets, basements, and storage boxes. Black widows prefer sheltered outdoor spots like woodpiles, garages, and meter boxes. If you suspect either species, professional treatment is strongly recommended.
How Spider Control Works
Effective spider control involves more than just spraying. We treat exterior entry points, remove webs and egg sacs, reduce harborage areas, and address the insect prey that attracts spiders to your home in the first place. By eliminating their food source, we make your property less attractive to spiders long-term.
Prevention Tips
Keep clutter to a minimum in storage areas, seal cracks around windows and doors, replace exterior white lights with yellow or sodium vapor bulbs (which attract fewer insects), and keep vegetation trimmed away from the foundation. These steps complement our professional treatments for maximum protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have brown recluse spiders?
Brown recluse spiders are tan to brown with a distinctive violin-shaped marking on their back. They're about the size of a quarter. If you suspect brown recluse, don't try to handle them. Call us for a professional inspection.
Are spider treatments safe for my family?
Absolutely. We use targeted applications in areas where spiders hide and travel, away from living spaces. Products are applied to cracks, crevices, and exterior perimeters where family contact is minimal.
How often should spider treatment be done?
For most homes, quarterly treatments provide excellent year-round spider control. Homes with heavy spider pressure or proximity to fields and open areas may benefit from more frequent service.
Will killing spiders attract more spiders?
No. Reducing the spider population and their insect food sources makes your home less attractive to new spiders. Our treatments create a barrier that repels and eliminates spiders that attempt to enter.
