Spider Pest Control in San Antonio

By taking away every reason they came. Spiders return to good hunting grounds, so we remove the webs and egg sacs that mark your home as one, treat the insect populations they feed on, and seal the gaps they use to get inside. Quarterly service under a year-round protection plan renews the exterior barrier before it fades, and spiders are included in all three of our plans, so staying protected costs less than starting over.

Almost certainly, because our technicians are already working across San Antonio and Schertz every day. We run out of two offices, on Eckhert Road in San Antonio and Hansel Heights in Schertz, and we cover the surrounding Central Texas communities. Call us, tell us where you are, and we’ll have an inspector at your door fast, usually within 24 hours.

Less than you’d guess, because spiders are covered under every year-round protection plan we offer, starting at $35 per month. That includes quarterly service and callbacks on request, so one plan handles spiders along with the ants, roaches, and other pests they feed on.

For a one-time treatment, the price depends on the species and the size of the problem, and we’ll give you an exact quote after a free inspection, before any work starts.

Spiders follow insects, so anything that attracts ants, flies, roaches, or crickets attracts their predators too, including bright outdoor lighting on summer nights.

Add quiet shelter, like cluttered closets, stacked boxes, garages, and woodpiles, plus easy entry through unsealed cracks and door gaps, and you’ve built spider paradise without meaning to.

Yes, they are, but don’t panic. Here are the facts: the black widow is one of only two venomous spiders in Texas. Her venom is a neurotoxin, reported to be many times more potent than a rattlesnake’s, though she injects only a tiny amount, and bites are most serious for children and older adults.

You’ll know her by the glossy black body and the red hourglass on the underside, usually in woodpiles, meter boxes, sheds, and under eaves.

Black widows aren’t aggressive and bite only when trapped, but if one bites you, see a doctor promptly. And if you’ve seen one on your property, call us, because they’re rarely alone.

Look for three things: a golden-brown body about the size of a quarter with its legs spread, a dark violin-shaped marking behind the head, and, if you can see them, six eyes arranged in pairs instead of the usual eight.

Brown recluses hide in undisturbed closets, attics, garages, and stored boxes, and most bites happen when one gets trapped against skin in clothing or bedding. Shake out anything that’s been in storage, and if you suspect a bite, have a doctor look at it. A recluse’s venom can damage tissue, and early care makes all the difference.

No, that one’s a campfire story. The legend says daddy longlegs carry the deadliest venom but can’t bite through human skin, and neither half is true.

The long-legged cellar spiders you see in corners are harmless to people, and the harvestmen you see outdoors aren’t technically spiders at all and have no venom glands to speak of. If daddy longlegs are gathering in your garage or bathroom, they’re a housekeeping nuisance, not a hazard, and a good de-webbing plus a treated perimeter clears them out.

No, just scary-looking. Wolf spiders are big, fast, and hairy, and they hunt on foot instead of building webs, which is why one sprinting across your living room floor can take a year off your life. But they’re not a medical threat. They avoid people; they bite only if handled; and the bite is usually no worse than a bee sting.

They’re actually eating the insects you like even less. That said, we’re happy to show them out.
