SPIDER CONTROL & EXTERMINATION IN
PHOENIX, AZ
Regardless of the variety, many people have a phobia of spiders, and their webs can leave a home with a creepy, neglected look. By and large spiders are helpful in the landscape as they eat a large portion of other undesirable pests. However, many people still fear them, especially when they discover an infestation of one of the less desirable varieties. Some spiders are poisonous, and even non-poisonous bites can be painful.
Types of Spiders
Spiders range from daddy long legs, to the ugly-but-harmless wolf spider, to the shy, hairy tarantula, to the black widow or dreaded brown recluse. Even the common house spider can be confused with the brown recluse spider, although the latter will have the trademark fiddle shape on its back. Spider identification can be confusing, Trust a professional like Russell Pest Control to identifiy and control unwanted spiders in your home.
Webs and bites are signs of a spider infestation, although spider sightings are another means of determining spiders have taken up residence in the area. Because some spiders such as tarantulas are territorial, if you rehome these gentle creatures, make certain to carry them far enough away that they don’t return to your house.
Solutions for Spider Infestations
One or two spiders can be chased off with a stout broom of fly swatter. But, once spiders multiply, they can get rapidly out of control, for example, a brown recluse, which can lay 40-50 eggs at a time. Because they are poisonous, and the bite may not be immediately felt, a person can sustain a number of bites before realizing they’ve been bitten. Only later, when the tissue becomes inflamed, do they realize what has happened.
