When to Call a Spider Exterminator

Serving Albuquerque and Taos

Because house spiders are generally a common occurrence, it’s sometimes hard to know when spider-sightings turn into a situation that warrants an exterminator. For many people, the sight of a spider can drive them into a panic. Others have no qualms about eliminating the problem themselves or even catching and releasing the spider outside. There are a few cases when extermination might be necessary, in which case you should consult a professional spider exterminator. What may begin as just a few spiders here and there can quickly progress into something straight out of a nightmare—a full-blown spider infestation.

4 Signs You Need a Professional Spider Exterminator

1. An increasing or excess amount of webs. If you’ve noticed a rise in the number of spider webs or cobwebs around the house, you could have a population of spiders living right under your nose.
2. The webs have egg sacs. After they get comfortable inside your house, spiders will begin to nest and multiply rapidly, especially during their mating season in the fall. Egg sacs can carry hundreds of eggs and pose a serious threat to spider infestation.
3. Growing population of spiders. If eggs hatch before you eliminate the egg sac, you will notice your home is suddenly harboring hundreds of spiders of various sizes.
4. The spiders are poisonous. If you’ve identified the spiders in your home as being dangerous or poisonous, it’s best to have a professional take care of the situation for you.
