New York and New Jersey are home to a variety of spider species, some of which are commonly encountered in both states. Some of the common spiders found in NY and NJ include Common House Spider, Cellar Spider, Common Orb- Weaver, Wolf Spider, Long- Legged Sac Spider, and the Jumping Spider. Signs of a spider infestation can vary depending on the species of spider and the severity of the infestation. However, some common signs to look out for include the presence of spider webs, silk egg sacs and shed exoskeletons. Overall, while spiders themselves do not cause significant property damage, their presence can indicate underlying issues that may need to be addressed, such as pest infestations or cleanliness concerns.

To control spider infestation, our pest control professionals will:

• Conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify the extent of the spider infestation, as well as the species involved and the areas of highest activity. Pest control professionals will look for signs of spider activity, such as webs, egg sacs, shed skins, and live spiders.

• Recommend sanitation measures and habitat modifications to make the property less attractive to spiders. This can include removing clutter, sealing cracks and crevices, trimming vegetation, and reducing moisture levels in and around the home.

• Seal entry points and gaps around doors, windows, and other potential entryways to prevent spiders from entering the home. This can help prevent future infestations and reduce the need for chemical treatments.

• Apply residual insecticides to indoor and outdoor areas where spiders are active. These insecticides are typically applied as liquid sprays or dusts and have a residual effect, meaning they continue to kill spiders and other pests for an extended period after application.

• Apply insecticides directly into cracks, crevices, voids, and other harborage sites where spiders are known to hide or breed. This targeted approach can help eliminate spiders and their eggs in hard-to-reach areas.

• Physically remove spider webs and egg sacs from indoor and outdoor areas using vacuum cleaners, brushes, or other tools. This can help reduce spider populations and prevent new webs from being constructed.

• Implement monitoring programs to track spider activity over time and assess the effectiveness of treatment efforts. Follow-up treatments may be necessary to ensure long-term control of spider populations.

It's important to note that controlling spider infestations often requires a comprehensive, integrated approach that combines multiple methods and strategies.
