Spider Control in Jacksonville, FL

Several species of spiders are frequently found in homes and businesses throughout Jacksonville:

• House spiders: Small, brown spiders often found in corners and closets.
• Wolf spiders: Larger, fast-moving spiders that roam floors rather than building webs.
• Black widows: Venomous spiders with a distinctive red hourglass on their abdomen.
• Brown recluses: Venomous, shy spiders that hide in dark, undisturbed areas.
• Orb weavers: Large, web-building spiders often found outdoors but occasionally entering homes.
  

Identifying the type of spider can help determine the best control strategy.

Spiders often enter homes and businesses in search of food, shelter, or mates. Common entry points include:

• Cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundations
• Open vents and utility lines
• Gaps in attics, basements, and crawl spaces
• Plants, firewood, or debris brought indoors
  

Once inside, spiders will build webs in dark, quiet areas like closets, garages, attics, and corners, making early detection crucial.

While most spiders are harmless, infestations can still pose problems:

• Bites: Venomous species can cause serious medical issues, including tissue damage and severe allergic reactions.
• Food contamination: Webs may trap dust, debris, and small insects, leading to hygiene concerns.
• Property damage: Persistent webs can stain walls, ceilings, and outdoor structures.
• Stress and anxiety: Seeing spiders around your home or business can create ongoing stress for occupants.
  

For these reasons, professional spider control is important to maintain a safe and comfortable property.

DIY methods like sticky traps or sprays may reduce spider numbers temporarily but rarely solve the underlying problem. Spiders reproduce quickly, and their egg sacs can survive treatments. At B&B Exterminating, we use comprehensive approaches to control spider populations:

• Thorough inspections to identify nests, webs, and entry points
• Targeted treatments to eliminate adult spiders and eggs
• Barrier treatments around foundations and high-risk areas
• Monitoring and follow-up to prevent reinfestation
• Environmentally responsible products safe for families, pets, and employees
  

This approach ensures lasting results for both homes and businesses.

Spiders can create problems for businesses ranging from offices and restaurants to hotels and warehouses. Visible webs and spider activity can impact customer perception, employee comfort, and even compliance with cleanliness standards. B&B Exterminating provides effective commercial spider control services tailored to your property, addressing infestations discreetly while preventing future problems.

Preventing spider infestations involves reducing their access to food, water, and shelter. Our technicians provide personalized recommendations, but here are common tips to keep spiders away:

• Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundations.
• Keep property clean and free of clutter, particularly in basements, attics, and garages.
• Reduce outdoor lighting or use yellow bulbs to attract fewer insects, which are spider prey.
• Store firewood and debris away from the building.
• Remove webs regularly to discourage spiders from settling indoors.
  

Combined with professional treatments, these steps help maintain a spider-free property year-round.
