Spider Control – What You Need to Know

Spiders are a common problem in Arizona, thriving in the hot, dry climate just like many other desert pests. While most spiders are harmless, some species pose a serious risk due to their venomous bites. Whether they’re weaving webs in the corners of your home or hiding in dark, undisturbed spaces, spiders can quickly turn from a minor nuisance into a full-blown infestation if left unchecked.

At Sage Solutions Pest Control, we specialize in eliminating spiders at the source while implementing long-term prevention strategies to keep them from coming back.

Why Are Spiders Invading Your Home?

Spiders enter homes in search of food, shelter, and ideal conditions. Here are some of the main reasons they might be inside your home:

• Abundant Food Supply – Spiders prey on small insects, including flies, mosquitoes, and moths. If you have an insect problem, spiders will follow.
• Attracted to Lights – Many flying insects are drawn to outdoor and indoor lighting, which in turn attracts spiders looking for an easy meal.
• Hiding in Dark, Undisturbed Spaces – Spiders prefer quiet, sheltered areas, such as attics, basements, closets, garages, woodpiles, and vegetation.
• Cracks and Entry Points – Spiders can slip through tiny gaps around doors, windows, vents, and baseboards.
• Egg Clusters Leading to Rapid Infestations – A single spider egg sac can contain 20 to 30 eggs, making early detection crucial.

While many spiders are harmless, black widows and brown recluse spiders can pose a serious threat. If you’re seeing multiple spiders or webs, it’s time to take action.

Signs of a Spider Infestation

Spiders are stealthy, but there are clear signs that your home may be harboring an infestation:

• Webs in Corners & Along Walls – Spiders build webs in attics, garages, basements, and near light fixtures to catch insects.
• Egg Sacs in Hidden Areas – Clusters of white or yellow sacs could mean dozens of new spiders hatching soon.
• Increase in Flying Insects – If you notice more flies, moths, or mosquitoes, spiders are likely close by, feeding on them.
• Spiders Hiding in Common Areas – A survey of residential homes found that 68 percent of bathrooms and 75 percent of bedrooms contained spiders.

If you’ve spotted one spider, there are likely more hidden in the shadows.

How We Eliminate Spiders

At Sage Solutions Pest Control, we take a targeted, proactive approach to eliminate spiders and their food sources.

1. Thorough Inspection – We assess your home for entry points, nesting areas, and insect activity.
2. Targeted Treatment – We apply safe, long-lasting insecticides in high-risk areas to eliminate spiders at the source.
3. Ongoing Protection – Regular preventative treatments every 8-12 weeks keep spiders from returning.
4. Customized Prevention Plans – We provide expert recommendations to seal cracks, improve lighting, and reduce insect populations.

With over 25 years of experience, we know exactly where to look and how to eliminate spiders quickly and effectively.

How to Prevent Spiders from Returning

In addition to professional pest control, here are a few simple steps you can take to reduce the risk of a spider infestation:

• Reduce Outdoor Lighting – Switch to yellow sodium-vapor lights that attract fewer insects.
• Seal Entry Points – Use weather stripping and caulk to block gaps in doors, windows, and vents.
• Declutter & Clean – Remove boxes, woodpiles, and clutter where spiders can hide.
• Regularly Vacuum & Dust – This helps eliminate webs, egg sacs, and hiding spots.
• Control Other Insects – Since spiders feed on insects, reducing their food supply naturally deters them.

With a combination of professional treatment and preventative measures, your home can remain spider-free year-round.
