ENGLEWOOD SPIDER CONTROL 

Spiders are among the most fascinating arthropods often found around your home or business. There are over 30,000 known species of spider, each with its own unique look and characteristics. Some spiders build webs, while others stalk and chase their prey. Spiders only have muscles that contract, which is why a spider’s legs always curl up when they die. Spiders are unique in that they have a hydraulic system in their bodies that extends their legs using fluid pressure, and the muscles pull them in to achieve movement. Each female spider lays hundreds of eggs at a time, meaning that their population can grow very rapidly given the right conditions. Spiders play a critical role in the environment and local ecosystems. They serve as both predators as well as nutritious prey for birds and other hungry animals. Spiders are little predators that prey on mosquitoes, flies, ants, fleas, and many other common insect pests. Though most spiders are solitary, some species form colonies that can number in the thousands. If you see a spider outside, it is best to leave it alone as it is working hard to keep your yard free of many harmful insects that can damage your yard, or sting you and ruin your barbecue. Inside the home, an occasional spider is beneficial, and even considered good luck in some cultures.

​

Things change however, when the occasional spider turns into dozens, and then hundreds crawling around and making webs. An infestation in and on your home is spooky, and a little unnerving to see and live with. Spider bites are rare and rarely harmful, though definitely something to avoid. If you notice one too many spiders in your home, it may be time to call in the professionals. At Pest Arrest we have what it takes to rid your home of spiders and other pests. All of our technicians are trained in Integrated Pest Management, making our treatments both effective and eco-friendly. Our spider treatments will stop an infestation in its tracks and continue to work for months after the treatment is applied, keeping spider activity down to a minimum.

​

The service begins with an inspection to evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action. Once the evaluation is done, a Pest Arrest technician explains the procedure we will use to eliminate the problem. You are typically not required to leave the home during the treatment process, as the products we use are eco-friendly and safe for use around pets, plants, and people. The treatment also leaves almost no residue or odor. Once the treatment is done, you can expect to see a significant reduction within a few hours, and little activity for months after the treatment.
