Spider Pest Control Information

Spider Control

Household Spider Infestation Control of the brown recluse spider can take a long time (6 months or more) and can be difficult because people have a very low tolerance for this pest, it tends to be widely dispersed within infested buildings, and it seeks secluded sites. Spider Control including the common house spiders, hobo spiders, and brown recluse spiders is best achieved by following an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. IPM involves using multiple approaches such as preventive measures, exclusion, sanitation, brown recluse spider traps and chemical treatment when necessary.


Non-chemical control

  • Use brown recluse spider traps to capture spiders.
  • Dust and vacuum thoroughly to remove spiders, webs, and egg sacs (dispose of the vacuum bag in a container outdoors).
  • Use a rolled up newspaper or fly swatter to kill individual spiders.

Preventing spider bites

  • Shake out clothing and shoes before getting dressed, common and recluse spiders can hide in tight spaces
  • Inspect bedding and towels before use.
  • Wear gloves when handling firewood, lumber, and rocks (be sure to inspect the gloves for spiders before putting them on).
  • Remove bed skirts and storage boxes from underneath beds. Move the bed away from the wall.
  • Exercise care when handling cardboard boxes (brown recluse spiders often are found in the space under folded cardboard flaps).

Spider Exclusion

  • Install tight-fitting screens on windows and doors; also install door sweeps.
  • Seal or caulk cracks and crevices where spiders can enter the house.
  • Install yellow or sodium vapor light bulbs outdoors since these attract fewer insects for spiders to feed upon.
  • Tape the edges of cardboard boxes to control spider entry.
  • Use plastic bags (sealed) to store loose items in the garage, basement, and attic.

Sanitation to improve spider control

  • Remove trash, old boxes, old clothing, wood piles, rock piles, and other unwanted items.
  • Eliminate clutter in closets, basements, attics, garages, and outbuildings.
  • Do not stack wood against the house.
  • Clean up dead insects that the brown recluse spider can feed on.
