What Spiders in Texas Are Dangerous? 

As mentioned above, most spiders do not pose threats to people and pets (no matter how creepy and menacing they look). The exceptions are black widows and brown recluses. This pair of spiders can harm people when they bite. The black widow's venom can cause muscle cramps, nausea, and even respiratory problems. Meanwhile, the bite of the brown recluse can produce an open sore that takes weeks to heal. 

It is worth noting that these spiders are typically not aggressive towards humans and will only bite if threatened. This is a key reason why it is a smart idea to leave spider control to professionals like us. Should you attempt to address an infestation of these insects, you could accidentally get bitten. However, our trained and insured team knows how to eliminate spiders while minimizing the chances of bites. 

How to Prevent Spiders in Your Home

The best way to deal with a spider infestation is to prevent it from happening in the first place. While our professional treatments offer long-term relief, you can take steps to make your home less inviting to these pests.

Tips to Reduce Spider Activity:

  • Seal Entry Points: Spiders can squeeze through small gaps. Inspect windows, doors, and foundation cracks, sealing any openings with caulk.
  • Reduce Clutter: Spiders love to hide in dark, undisturbed areas like basements, attics, and garages. Regularly declutter these spaces.
  • Minimize Outdoor Lighting: Bright outdoor lights attract insects, which in turn attract spiders. Use yellow or sodium vapor lights to reduce their appeal.
  • Keep Your Home Clean: Regular vacuuming removes spider webs, egg sacs, and food sources (other insects).
  • Use Natural Repellents: Essential oils like peppermint and citrus can deter spiders. Spraying these near entry points can help keep them away.

For maximum protection, combine these steps with our expert pest control services.
