Residential Spider Abatement and Prevention Services
Spider Abatement & Prevention
Wilson Services specializes in spider control for your home. We help reduce spiders and the webs they leave behind by using our environmentally safe products and processes that we have perfected over the years.
Spiders can be challenging to control due to the fact that they make limited contact with treated surfaces by walking on the tips of their eight legs. They also do not groom themselves the way most other insects do. That means some general pest products may not work as effectively on spiders.
So, what's our solution? We provide a spider abatement program that focuses on targeted treatment, removal of webs and harborage areas, and ongoing prevention to keep activity down. If you're seeing spiders in or around your home, call us to learn more and request your quote!

Brown Recluse Spiders
Brown Recluse spiders (Loxosceles reclusa) are notable for their characteristic violin pattern on the back of the cephalothorax, the body part to which the legs attach. The violin pattern is seen with the base of the violin at the head of the spider and the neck of the violin pointing to the rear. These small non-hairy spiders are yellowish tan to dark brown in color with darker legs. They have legs about one inch in length.

Brown Recluse Spiders
Black Widow spiders (Latrodectus mactans) comprise about six species and inhabit most of the warmer regions of the world. Female Black Widow spiders are very easily identified due to the characteristic reddish hourglass on their abdomen. The female Black Widow spider, though it is the most venomous spider in North America, seldom causes death as it injects a very small amount of poison when it bites. Reports indicate human mortality at well less than 1% from Black Widow spider bites.
