Protecting your north Georgia home from spiders
We understand that finding spiders in your home or business is an unsettling experience. While most common house spiders are harmless, their presence is often a sign of a larger, underlying issue: a readily available food source of other insects.
Identifying the Problem
The most obvious sign of spiders is their webs, often found in corners, basements, and around exterior lights. However, many spiders are active hunters and do not build webs. Our trained specialists are adept at identifying common North Georgia spiders, their hiding spots, and the insect populations that are supporting them.
A thorough inspection allows us to locate their nesting areas and, more importantly, determine the root cause of their presence. This is the first step toward effective, long-term spider control.
Restore your peace of mind
You don't have to live with the unease and annoyance of spiders. Schedule a consultation to have your spider problem professionally identified, addressed, and controlled.
Our Consultative Approach to Spider Control
We believe in a comprehensive strategy to not just treat for spiders, but to control their food source. By managing the entire pest ecosystem around your property, we make it a far less inviting place for spiders. We take this issue very seriously and are committed to restoring your peace of mind.
Step 1: Inspection
Our process begins with a detailed walk-around inspection, where we consult with you to identify all active locations, webs, and high-pressure areas like eaves, soffits, and crawl spaces.
Step 2: planning
Based on our findings, we develop a plan tailored to your property. This is not a one-size-fits-all service. Our plan focuses on total pest management to eliminate the insects spiders feed on. We offer different treatment frequencies to provide the level of protection you need.
Step 3: treatment
We carefully brush down and remove accessible webs and egg sacs. We then apply a professional-grade residual insecticide to common entry points, corners, and foundation perimeters. This method helps manage the current problem and repels the other insects spiders prey on.
An important note on Dangerous Spiders
We are trained to identify and address dangerous spiders, such as Black Widows, which are native to our area. If you believe you have seen a dangerous spider, please do not handle it. Call us for a professional inspection and to discuss a treatment plan.
Partnering with you for the Best Results
Your actions are a key part of long-term success. We recommend these proactive steps and ask for your partnership:
- Manage Exterior Lighting: Switch exterior bulbs to yellow "bug-resistant" lights, which are less attractive to the flying insects that spiders eat.
- Seal Openings: Ensure window screens are in good repair and seal cracks around doors and utility lines.
- Reduce Clutter: Keep storage areas, especially basements and attics, tidy to reduce spider harborage.
- Maintain Landscape: Keep greenery and firewood piles away from your home's foundation.
