Expert Spider Extermination in North Carolina

What are spiders?

Spiders are not insects; they are arachnids. All spiders have two body parts, chelicerae (fangs), and eight legs. Unlike insects that have wings and antennae, spiders lack both. Depending on their species, spiders come in a variety of sizes and color patterns. Spiders are beneficial pests that prey and feed on garden pests and other nuisance insects. Some of the most common spiders in our area of North Carolina are black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, and house spiders.

Why do I have a spider problem?

Our yards attract spiders because they offer them plenty of places to hide and build their webs or burrows. They also provide plenty of insects in which to hunt and eat. Our home’s exterior walls also offer spiders lots of places for these reclusive creatures to hide — behind shingles, shutters, and under roof eaves.

As spiders move along our home’s exterior walls hunting for food, they often find their way inside through small cracks, crevices, and other openings. They may also decide to move indoors during periods of extreme weather.

Where will I find spiders?

Spiders build their webs or burrows in protected areas. They often create their webs under decks, in doorways, behind window shutters, along the edge of rooflines, in woodpiles, and tall grasses or dense vegetation.

Those spiders that find their way indoors place their webs in dark, quiet areas like basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Spiders also regularly find their way into outbuildings such as sheds, garages, and barns.
