Common Types of Spiders We Handle
Pennsylvania homes and businesses commonly encounter a range of spider species, from nuisance pests to potentially dangerous invaders. Our technicians are experts at identifying and eliminating all local spider species.
Wolf Spider Extermination
Large, hairy, and fast-moving, these look intimidating but rarely bite. Their presence indicates other pest problems, as they’re active hunters who don’t build webs.
Black Widow Spider Extermination
Identifiable by black bodies with red hourglass markings, female black widows deliver potentially dangerous bites, causing fever, high blood pressure, and intense pain.
House Spider Control
These yellowish-brown house spiders create webs in corners and under furniture. Though harmless, their webs and unexpected appearances are unwelcome nuisances.
Jumping Spider Control
As their name suggests, these small spiders leap surprising distances and are active during the day. Their sudden movements and excellent vision make encounters startling, despite non-poisonous bites.
Long-Legged Sac Spider Control
Pale yellowish spiders with dark fangs hunt at night and hide in ceiling corners. Their bites cause painful wounds with redness and swelling that may take weeks to heal.

How to Recognize Signs of a Spider Infestation
Spiders often go unnoticed until their population has grown substantially. Watch for these telltale signs of a developing spider problem:
- Visible webs in corners, between furniture, or around light fixtures.
- Egg sacs (small, silk-wrapped bundles that can contain hundreds of eggs).
- Spider droppings appearing as small dark spots beneath webs.
- Increased sightings of live spiders, especially during evening hours.
- Unexplained bites on family members or pets.
What's Inviting Spiders Into Your Space?
Specific conditions attract spiders to your space:
- Other insects acting as a ready food source.
- Cluttered areas offering perfect hiding spots.
- Cracks and gaps in foundations, windows, and doors.
- Dense vegetation touching your home's exterior.
