Are Spiders Taking Over Your Bay Area Home?
Finding a few spiders in your house is a fairly common occurrence. House spiders are most content in the comfort of our homes, and even spiders that typically spend their time outside can occasionally find their way indoors. However, if you’re starting to see an overabundance of these eight-legged creatures, they can quickly become a problem. Though the biggest danger to you and your family is venomous spiders, even relatively harmless ones can indicate other pest problems within your walls.
If you see more spiders than you’re comfortable with, it’s time to call in the professionals from Smith’s Pest Management: (408) 871-6988

Our Spider Control Process
1
Inspection
The first thing we do when we start a spider control job is to conduct a thorough assessment.
During this step, we’ll look around your property to understand what’s going on with the spiders.
We’ll identify the kind of spiders present and note any damage they’re causing.
2
Treatment
Next, we’ll deploy the best spider treatment for your property and needs.
We use various treatments to eliminate spiders and prevent their return, including contact insecticides, de-webbing, and exclusion.
3
Follow-Up
After we treat your property for spiders, we will return over the next few months to monitor populations and provide follow-up control if necessary.
Our Spider Control Service Offerings
Here at Smith’s Pest Management, we offer two spider control treatment options to get your spider problem under control:

Spray Treatment

“ The gophers killed my fruit trees, and upended my garden and it became impossible to keep up with them. So I contacted Smith and they took care of them for me.”
