Our Spider Control Services
Spiders come into homes and businesses for different reasons. They are drawn to warmth, shelter, and easy access to food, like other insects. Dark, messy areas, cracks in walls, and forgotten corners are perfect hiding spots for spiders. Florida’s warm, humid climate makes spider infestations common for homeowners and businesses. You may have an infestation on your hands if you see:
- Unusual Spider Behavior: Spiders are reclusive by nature, so if you observe spiders venturing into well-lit areas during the day, it could indicate a high population density.
- Spider Bites: Unexplained spider bites on occupants can be an indication that there are spiders present in the living areas.
- Spider Webs: The presence of webs in multiple areas of your home is a strong indication of a spider infestation.
- Egg Sacs: Spiders lay eggs in silk sacs, which they hide in protected areas. Finding multiple egg sacs around your home suggests a growing spider population.

If you spot any signs of infestation, take action right away. This can help keep it from getting worse. Here’s what you can do:
- Regular Cleaning: Keep your home or commercial space clean, minimizing clutter and vacuuming frequently to remove webs and egg sacs.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal cracks, gaps, and crevices in walls, windows, and doors to prevent spiders from entering.
- Outdoor Maintenance: Trim bushes and trees away from buildings, as branches can act as bridges for spiders to enter.
- Natural Deterrents: Use natural remedies like citrus peels, vinegar, or essential oils like peppermint or tea tree oil, which repel spiders.
Not all spiders are harmful. But if you’re uncertain about the type of spiders you’re dealing with, it’s best to call our residential exterminators for the safety of your family and pets.
Commercial Spider Infestations
If you own or manage a business, you understand the unique challenges of commercial pest control, especially when it comes to spiders. The last thing you would want is for your business to have these unwelcome pests scaring off employees and patrons, and potentially damaging your reputation. Here are some effective strategies to keep spiders at bay in commercial settings:
- Clean Regularly: Regularly clean all areas, including storage rooms, offices, and common spaces. Vacuum carpets, sweep floors, and dust corners to remove spider webs and egg sacs.
- Clutter Control: Minimize clutter in storage areas. Spiders are attracted to undisturbed, dark spaces.
- Proper Waste Management: Dispose of trash promptly and keep dumpsters and trash bins away from the building to reduce potential food sources for spiders.
- Seal Cracks and Crevices: Inspect the building for cracks, crevices, and gaps in walls, windows, doors, and foundations. Seal these entry points to prevent spiders from getting inside.
- Weather Stripping: Install weather stripping around doors and windows to create a tight seal.
- Landscaping: Trim trees, bushes, and plants away from the building. Spiders can use branches as bridges to access the structure.
- Exterior Lighting: Use yellow or sodium vapor lights for outdoor lighting. These are less attractive to insects, reducing the spider’s food supply.
- Use Spider-Repellent Plants: Plant spider-repellent herbs like lavender, mint, or eucalyptus around the perimeter of the building.
If you’ve followed these prevention steps and still spot spiders, it might be time to call in professional exterminators in Pompano Beach. Call us today to schedule your service.
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.
