Our Spider Control Services
Spiders enter homes and businesses in search of shelter and food, including other insects. Dark, undisturbed areas, cluttered spaces, cracks, and hidden corners can provide ideal places for spiders to settle. South Florida’s warm, humid climate also supports year-round spider and insect activity.
Signs of increased spider activity may include:
- Frequent Spider Sightings: Seeing spiders regularly throughout different areas of your home may indicate increased activity.
- Multiple Spider Webs: Webs appearing in corners, garages, storage areas, windows, or other undisturbed spaces can signal ongoing spider activity.
- Egg Sacs: Finding multiple silk egg sacs in protected areas may indicate that spiders are reproducing around your property.
- Increased Insect Activity: A larger population of flies, mosquitoes, and other insects can provide a steady food source that attracts spiders.

If you notice signs of increased spider activity, taking action early can help reduce hiding places, entry points, and the insect activity that attracts spiders.
Here’s what you can do:
- Regular Cleaning: Reduce clutter and vacuum regularly to remove webs, egg sacs, and insects that spiders may feed on.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal cracks, gaps, and openings around windows, doors, utility lines, and other potential entry points.
- Outdoor Maintenance: Trim shrubs and tree branches away from the structure and reduce clutter or debris near the foundation.
- Address Other Insects: Managing flies, mosquitoes, and other pests around your property can help reduce the food sources that attract spiders.
Not all spiders are dangerous, but identifying species can be difficult. If you’re seeing frequent spider activity or are unsure what type of spider is present, contact our residential pest control team for professional identification and treatment.
Commercial Spider Control & Prevention
If you own or manage a business, you understand the challenges of commercial pest control. Frequent spider activity can make employees, customers, and visitors uncomfortable and may affect how your property is perceived.
Steps that can help reduce spider activity around commercial properties include:
- Clean Regularly: Keep storage rooms, offices, common areas, and other spaces clean. Vacuum webs and egg sacs and reduce areas where spiders can remain undisturbed.
- Reduce Clutter: Keep storage areas organized and minimize boxes, debris, and other materials that provide dark hiding places.
- Manage Waste: Dispose of trash promptly and keep dumpsters and waste containers properly maintained to help reduce insects that attract spiders.
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect walls, windows, doors, foundations, and utility penetrations for gaps or cracks that spiders may use to enter.
- Maintain Weather Stripping: Replace damaged weather stripping around doors and windows to help close potential entry points.
- Maintain Landscaping: Trim trees, shrubs, and other vegetation away from the building to reduce access and hiding areas near the structure.
- Review Exterior Lighting: Where appropriate, use exterior lighting that attracts fewer flying insects, helping reduce one of spiders’ primary food sources.
If spider activity continues despite preventive measures, professional treatment may be needed. Contact Petri Pest Control for commercial spider control throughout Broward & Palm Beach Counties, FL.
Spider Extermination FAQs
What time of year is best to spray for spiders?
In and around Pompano Beach, spider activity is consistent year-round due to our warm climate. The best time for preventative spider treatments is early spring (March and April) and fall (September and October).
Spring treatments target spiders when they become active and start reproducing. Fall applications create barriers to keep spiders from seeking shelter indoors as temperatures drop.
How long does a spider infestation last?
The length of an infestation mostly depends on food, the environment, and whether control measures are in place. Spiders are long-lived creatures, with some species surviving a year or more. Female spiders can produce multiple egg sacs containing hundreds of offspring, perpetuating the cycle.
Petri Pest Control Services, Inc.’s professional treatment helps most spider problems improve in 7-14 days. You’ll see even more reduction in the following weeks as the residual products keep working.
What attracts spiders?
Outdoor lighting that draws flying insects, moisture issues that support pest populations, and cluttered areas that harbor bugs all attract spiders. They’re also attracted to quiet spots like garages, attics, and storage areas. There, they can spin webs without being disturbed.
Overgrown vegetation touching structures, gaps around doors and windows, and accumulated debris near foundations also create ideal conditions for spiders.
