Spiders are one of the most common reasons Coeur d'Alene homeowners call us. Living near the lake means plenty of insects, and plenty of insects means plenty of spiders on docks, decks, eaves and porch lights.
Late summer and early fall bring the big indoor push, when male hobo spiders and giant house spiders wander inside looking for mates. Black widows hide in garages, woodpiles and window wells, especially in older neighborhoods like the Fort Grounds and the Garden District. Lakefront homes and boathouses often have heavy webbing from spiders feeding on insects that come off the water.
We brush down webs and egg sacs from eaves, windows, decks and garage corners, which removes the next generation before it hatches.
We treat the foundation, entry points and the places spiders hide outside, like window wells and landscaping rock.
We treat cracks and crevices in basements, garages and crawl spaces where spiders settle in for the winter.
We point out the things that draw spiders in, like porch lights that attract insects and woodpiles against the house.
Spider control is covered by our general pest control plans, which start at $41 a month. The first service is $125 with a 12-month agreement. Our 365 Pest Free Guarantee means that if spiders come back between visits, so do we, at no extra charge.

Probably not as dangerous as their reputation. Hobo spider bites were once blamed for serious wounds, but newer research hasn't backed that up. The spider with truly harmful venom around here is the black widow, which hides in garages, woodpiles and window wells. If you're bitten and have severe pain, cramping or trouble breathing, get medical help.
