Spider Control

Spider Control in Houston

Serving Houston Homes & Businesses Since 1989: Same Technicians, Live Phone, Service Guarantee

Houston’s warm, humid climate keeps insects active year-round, and spiders follow their prey indoors. Black widows, brown recluses, wolf spiders, and house spiders all show up regularly in Houston homes and businesses. When they do, store-bought sprays rarely reach the wall voids, attics, and crawl spaces where spiders actually nest. That’s where professional spider control makes the difference.

Hartz Pest Control has provided spider control in Houston since 1989. We’re a family-owned, locally operated company serving both residential and commercial properties across the Greater Houston Area. Our technicians are licensed and insured, and spider control is included under our 25-pest service coverage.

Common Spiders Found in Houston Homes & Businesses

Knowing what you’re dealing with shapes how urgently you need to act. Most spiders found indoors are nuisances. A few are genuinely dangerous.

Black Widow
Shiny black body with a red hourglass marking on the underside of the female’s abdomen. Black widows prefer dark, undisturbed areas like woodpiles, garages, and crawl spaces, where they build irregular webs close to the ground. Their venom is medically significant, and bites may require prompt medical attention.

Brown Recluse
Uniform light brown with a darker violin-shaped marking on the cephalothorax: the section of the body where the legs attach. Brown recluses hide in closets, attics, and behind furniture. Their bites can cause necrotic skin lesions that develop over days. Because they’re small and hard to spot, infestations often go unnoticed until bites occur.

Wolf Spider
Large, hairy, and fast-moving, wolf spiders hunt at ground level rather than spinning webs. They’re common in Houston yards and garages. Their appearance is alarming, but they’re not considered medically significant to healthy adults.

House Spider
Responsible for most of the cobwebs in window corners and ceiling junctions. Not dangerous, but high numbers suggest a larger underlying insect problem sustaining them.

Signs Your Houston Property Has a Spider Problem

Infestations in attics, garages, and storage areas can grow for months before reaching living spaces. Watch for these indicators:

Webs rebuilding repeatedly in the same locations, especially near ground level or in undisturbed corners
Silken egg sacs attached to walls, furniture undersides, or inside stored boxes: a single sac can contain hundreds of spiderlings
Increased insect activity indoors: flies, roaches, or ants inside the property signal that spiders have a consistent food source
Daytime spider sightings across open floors or walls, which can indicate overcrowded nesting sites
Unexplained bites or recurring skin irritation in the same household members

How Hartz Pest Control Treats for Spiders in Houston

Every spider service begins with a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior. We identify the species present, locate active nesting areas and egg sacs, and assess what insect prey inside the property may be sustaining the population. Treatment addresses all three: spiders, their harborage, and their food source.

Professional spider control includes web and egg sac removal, targeted perimeter barrier application, and treatment of harborage zones that contact sprays can’t reach. Most consumer products require direct contact with the spider to work, and spiders spend most of their time in wall voids, structural cavities, and attic spaces where those products never penetrate.

We also identify and address entry points. Gaps around pipes, poorly fitted doors and windows, and uncovered attic vents are common pathways that chemical treatment alone won’t close. Combining physical exclusion with targeted treatment can produce better long-term results than either approach on its own.

BugBarrier Advanced

Quarterly visits with 365-day protection covering 25 pests, including spiders. If covered pests return between scheduled visits, we retreat at no additional cost. This plan is built for Houston homeowners and businesses that want continuous protection through the year-round pest season.

BugBarrier Essentials

A one-time spider treatment with a 30-day retreat guarantee. If the problem returns within 30 days of service, we come back at no charge.

Spider Prevention Steps for Houston Properties

Professional treatment works best when paired with a few targeted prevention habits. These steps reduce harborage and cut off the food supply that keeps spiders coming back.

Seal entry points: Close gaps around pipes, doors, windows, and foundation penetrations. These are the primary pathways spiders use to enter from outdoor harborage
Switch to sealed storage: Replace cardboard boxes in attics and garages with sealed plastic containers. Cardboard is a preferred hiding spot for brown recluses
Reduce clutter: Spiders build webs and lay egg sacs in undisturbed areas. Keeping storage spaces organized removes available harborage
Clear exterior vegetation: Trim shrubs, woodpiles, and debris away from the building exterior. Spiders move from outdoor harborages directly into the structure
Change exterior lighting: Standard white bulbs attract flying insects near entry points. Yellow-tinted bulbs draw fewer insects and reduce the food source that pulls spiders toward doors and windows
Control underlying insect activity: Ants, roaches, and flies inside the home are the primary reason spiders are there. Addressing those infestations reduces spider pressure directly

These steps complement professional service but don’t replace it. Houston’s year-round pest season means the perimeter barrier from quarterly professional visits does work that individual prevention habits can’t replicate alone.
