Spider Infestation

Spiders are among the most common pests to invade a home or office. With tens of thousands of different species, spiders can survive in almost any environment. They are especially common in South Carolina, given the temperate climate. They are also commonly found on properties near rivers or lakes. If you do not confront a spider infestation, spiders may have time to reproduce. Female spiders can lay hundreds of eggs at one time. When her offspring hatch, they are already-developed spiders, which can make your infestation infinitely worse. With our Columbia pest control services, we can eliminate your infestation with ease so you can return to living a spider-free life.

Signs and Prevention

Spiders enjoy dark areas and may hide in corners or crevices, making it hard to tell if you have a spider infestation. The first thing you can look for is spider webs. Many times you'll find them stretched across corners or in cluttered areas. Spiders themselves can also be a sign. If you see more than one of the same kind of spider in succession, be aware. You can also look for spider bites - usually red raised welts that can be itchy or painful - on yourself or your pets.

To prevent an intrusion, make sure all of your building's openings are properly sealed. This includes doors, windows, air vents, pipe holes, etc. Another helpful tip is to keep your landscaped trimmed. The harder it is for a spider to get to your home or office, the better.

Because most spiders are resilient to available pesticides, it's important that you call our Columbia pest control office if you notice an infestation so we can eliminate it thoroughly. For more information, contact one of our friendly representatives today!
