Black Widow Pest Control

Black Widow Spiders

Black widow spiders can be identified by their shiny black bodies and red hourglass-shaped pattern. These spiders weave webs close to the ground that are irregularly shaped and asymmetrical. Their bites are a neurotoxin that can cause pain in adults. For small children, pets, people with weak immune systems or the elderly, black widow bites are more severe and require immediate medical intervention.

Your pest control service will begin with a licensed technician providing a full inspection of your residence and property to identify the widow infestation. During the inspection, your technician will identify potential problem areas around your home and yard. After the source of the problem areas have been identified, your technician will point out other potential areas widows may be found and offer steps you can take to reduce future infestations.

Quick Facts About Black Widows

Habits

Black widow spiders spin their webs near ground level. They often build their webs in protected areas, such as in boxes and in firewood.

Habitat

Black widow spiders are often found around wood piles and gain entry into a structure when firewood is carried into a building. They are also found under eaves, in boxes, under play sets and outdoor furniture where they are undisturbed.

Threats

The venom of a black widow spider is a neurotoxin and is used as a defense. Black widow spiders do not bite humans instinctively. The black widow spider bite can cause severe pain. Young children and the elderly are especially susceptible to a severe reaction to a black widow spider bite.

Prevention

Avoid black widow spider bites by wearing heavy gloves when moving items that have been stored for a long period of time. Spiders often hide in shoes, so check shoes and shake them out before wearing. When spider webs are visible, use caution before putting your hands or feet in that area.
