Late summer is spider season in Liberty Lake. Wolf spiders come in from the fields and hillsides, hobo spiders and giant house spiders wander into garages and basements, and black widows settle into window wells and woodpiles.
Liberty Lake's landscaping, with rock and bark beds along the foundation and irrigated lawns, gives spiders plenty of insects to eat and places to hide right next to the house. Homes near the lake, the Spokane River and the golf courses see heavy webbing on eaves, decks and porch lights. Homes on the edge of town near the hillsides get more wolf spiders and black widows.
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.
See Your PriceWater, lawns and outdoor lights draw insects, and spiders build where the food is. Homes near the lake, the river and the golf courses tend to see the most webbing. Switching porch lights to yellow bulbs, clearing webs and treating the perimeter cuts it down a lot.

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.
