Our Approach to Spider Extermination 

Professional Spider Exterminators

Our team of professional spider exterminators is equipped with effective techniques and treatments to handle any spider infestation, big or small. We specialize in dealing with common North Carolina spiders, including venomous black widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, and harmless wolf spiders.

We Remove Favorable Conditions for Spiders

Spiders often seek out cluttered areas to nest. To discourage spiders from making your home their own, we help you remove clutter from your home, yard, and crawl space to reduce the likelihood of a spider infestation. Our team can help you situate your yard and home in a way that doesn’t attract spiders from nesting and invading your space. 

Thorough Spider Web Removal

During each visit, Stomp Pest Control prioritizes the removal of spider webs from areas such as corners, utility boxes, windows, and other entry points where spiders are known to build nests. This not only eliminates existing spiders but also discourages new spiders from settling in. At Stomp Pest Control, we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. Rather, our specialized approach guarantees a cleaner and safer environment for your family because we tailor our extermination efforts to your specific spider problem. 

Safe and Effective Spider Control Treatments

We prioritize the safety of your family and pets. Our spider control treatments are safe for children and pets to come in contact with. We target entry points with our child- and pet-safe spray and can treat attics, basements, and other areas where spiders tend to hide and emerge during nighttime hours.

Signs of a Spider Infestation

Spider Droppings

Spider droppings appear as small, dark, and sometimes ink-like spots on surfaces such as walls, floors, and other areas where spiders may reside. These pest droppings can be a sign of a significant spider presence.

Spider Webs in Corners and Hidden Areas

While spider webs in obvious places are easy to spot, look for webs in hidden areas like behind furniture, in vents, or in the corners of rooms and closets. Regularly checking these areas can help identify an infestation early.

Nocturnal Activity

Spiders are typically more active at night. If you notice more spider activity during the evening or early morning hours, it may be a sign of an infestation. Look for spiders emerging from hiding places or moving around the home.

Egg Sacs

Egg sacs are a significant indicator of a spider infestation. These sacs are often found in protected areas and contain numerous spider eggs. Spotting these sacs requires immediate attention to prevent a larger problem.

Spider Silk Trails

Some spiders leave behind silk trails as they move around. These trails can often be found along walls, baseboards, and other surfaces where spiders travel. Identifying these silk trails can help locate spider hotspots within the home.

Your satisfaction is our priority. We stand by our services with a satisfaction guarantee. If spiders return between treatments, we will come back at no additional cost to address the issue.
