Spider Control St. George
Spiders are a tricky pest to deal with; they’re small, fast, and most over-the-counter pesticides don’t have any effect on them. While there are roughly 4,000 types of spiders living in the United States, there are very few species of spiders that are dangerous to humans, although even the non-venomous ones are still a bother.
The Trouble with Spiders
These eight-legged insects prefer living in dark, moist places, so you’ll most commonly find them in your basement, attic, crawl spaces, or closets. Spider infestations are more difficult to fight than some other infestations because of the way they reproduce—while an over-the-counter pesticide can treat the spiders you can see, there are likely egg sacks you can’t, and once they hatch, the infestation begins again. At Preventive Pest Control, we have the knowledge and resources needed to completely eliminate your spider problem the first time.
