Professional Spider Control & Extermination in Raleigh, NC
While most spiders found in Raleigh homes are harmless, two species — the Black Widow and the Brown Recluse — pose a genuine medical risk to your family. Even non-venomous spiders are unwelcome guests. Our spider control programs eliminate current populations and prevent future colonization.
Common Spider Species in Wake County
- Black Widow Spider — Identified by the red hourglass marking on the abdomen. Found in undisturbed areas such as garages, wood piles, and crawlspaces across Raleigh. Their venom is a potent neurotoxin.
- Brown Recluse Spider — Identified by the violin-shaped marking on their back. They prefer dark, dry locations like boxes in storage, closets, and wall voids. Their bite can cause necrotic tissue damage.
- Orb Weaver Spiders — Large, non-venomous spiders that build impressive webs on porches, eaves, and shrubs. Alarming in appearance but harmless to humans.
- Wolf Spiders — Fast-moving ground hunters common in Raleigh lawns and basements. Non-venomous but startling; they do not build webs.
- House Spiders — The most common indoor spider, found in corners, window frames, and basements throughout Wake County homes.
Our Spider Reduction Program
- Exterior De-Webbing — Physical removal of webs and egg sacs from eaves, window frames, porch corners, and garage doors — eliminating the visual presence and reducing attractants.
- Perimeter Barrier Treatment — Application of residual insecticide around the foundation, entry points, and harborage areas to kill spiders on contact and create a lasting deterrent.
- Interior Crack & Crevice Treatment — Targeted treatment inside garages, basements, closets, and wall voids where dangerous species like Black Widows and Brown Recluses prefer to nest.

FAQ: Spider Extermination in Wake County
How do I identify a black widow vs. a brown recluse?
Black widows are shiny black with a red hourglass shape on their belly. Brown recluses are tan-brown with a dark violin shape on their back and have six eyes rather than eight.
Are spider sprays safe to use indoors?
Our interior treatments use targeted crack-and-crevice applications with products labeled for indoor use, which are safe for people and pets once dry (approximately 30 minutes).
Why do I suddenly have so many spiders?
An increase in spider activity usually means there is an abundant food source — other insects. Our full residential pest plan addresses both spiders and their prey simultaneously.
