How to Identify Spiders

Most spiders in Dallas homes are harmless, and two species need to be taken seriously. Use these clues to sort what you saw, then call us to confirm. Never handle a spider to check.

• Glossy black body, red hourglass on the underside, messy tangled web close to the ground: black widow. The bite is dangerous.
• Tan to brown body, dark violin-shaped mark behind the head, plain legs with no bands, hides in dark and quiet places: brown recluse. The bite is dangerous.
• Large, hairy and brown with a striped pattern, fast, spins no web and runs across floors: wolf spider. It looks alarming but is not a danger to most people.
• Tiny body, very long and thin legs, loose webs in ceiling corners: cellar spider. Harmless.
• Short and stocky, moves in quick jumps, large front eyes, hunts on sunny walls and fences: jumping spider. Harmless.
• Large wheel-shaped web across a path, between posts or beside a porch light, rebuilt most nights: orb weaver. Harmless to people.

Where Spiders Hide on a Dallas Property

• The Garage: The garage is the most common spot for spider calls in Dallas. The door opens to the outdoors several times a day, the lights draw insects and the boxes, tools and holiday decorations stay untouched for months. Black widows sit in corners near the floor and behind stored items. Wolf spiders patrol along the walls.
• Attics, Closets and Storage Rooms: Spiders in these spaces are never disturbed. Brown recluses settle into cardboard boxes, stored clothing and the backs of shelves. The spider stays hidden until someone moves the box, which is when most bites happen.
• The Patio and Outdoor Living Area: Furniture frames, cushions, grill covers, planter bases and pool equipment all give black widows shelter. Orb weavers and house spiders build webs near patio lights, where insects gather after dark.
• Mulch Beds, Woodpiles and Utility Boxes: Dense landscaping, stacked firewood, irrigation valve boxes and electric and water meter boxes are classic black widow hiding spots. Wolf spiders hunt in the mulch and along the foundation.
• Eaves, Windows and Door Frames: Wherever an exterior light draws insects, spiders follow. Webs along rooflines and around entryways are the first sign of a spider problem that is still outdoors.

Why Spiders Move In to Your Property

A spider on your property means insects on your property. Dallas has a long warm season, and well-watered yards, mulch beds and outdoor lighting hold plenty of insects. Spiders build where the food is. A spray on a web removes one spider and leaves the food supply untouched, so new spiders take the same spot within weeks.

That is why our approach covers more than the spiders themselves. We treat the places spiders hide, remove the webs and egg sacs that let populations rebuild, and treat the exterior perimeter to cut down the insects that feed them. When the food source shrinks, the spider population shrinks with it.

Why Late Summer and Fall Feel Like Spider Season in Dallas

Spiders feed and grow all summer, so by late summer they are larger and their webs are easier to see. In fall, cooler nights send them looking for sheltered spots, and garages, closets and storage rooms see the most indoor sightings. Dallas winters are mild, which keeps indoor spiders active well past the first cold front. The best time to book is before the late summer spike, but treatment works any month of the year.

What Your Technician Does When They Arrive

Your technician starts outside, walking the foundation and checking eaves, light fixtures, meter boxes, woodpiles, outdoor furniture and the underside of ledges. Webs and egg sacs come down as they go. Then they move inside to the garage, the attic access, closets, window frames and the corners behind stored items.

Treatment goes into the cracks, voids and harborage areas where spiders hide, using products matched to the species we find. We offer green and eco-friendly options for homes with kids and pets. Before leaving, your technician walks you through what they found and gives you a short list of changes that make your property less inviting, such as moving firewood off the ground and switching storage from cardboard to sealed bins.

One-Time Service or Year-Round Protection
