Rapidly Reproducing Spiders

One of the most common pests plaguing households are spiders. These eight-legged intruders creep into homes, camping out in tough-to-reach areas like crawlspaces, attics, basements and just about any corner that will support them. More than creeping and crawling around where they don’t belong, spiders leave their mark on properties.

A single spider might skulk through showers and fill corners with webs but as numbers grow, properties are quickly overrun. Quick slaps might take care of a single spider but these pests do not stay solo for long. One female spider can mean hundreds - if not thousands! - of eggs and smaller spiders. Rapid-paced reproduction cycles are what makes proper pest control so important.

Understanding the Reproduction Process

Female spiders are often larger than their male counterparts, and even instigate the mating process. A single spider can lay up to 250 eggs into a silk sack. More than being a one-time process, females can create up to 17 of these sacs during their lifetime, meaning more than 4,000 uninvited guests.

When considering that each of these female offspring have the same ability to have the same 4,000 eggs in their lifetime, it only takes a second of quick-math to realize that this is a huge problem. An infestation is bad enough inside a home but when it comes to commercial spaces like hotels or restaurants; or in multi-unit spaces like assisted living centres, it can bring on a whole host of other issues.

It is easy to see why spider control is so important, but how to get the job done is not as clear. Instead of focusing on one arachnid or web at at time, real results come from treating whole areas. Professional pest control can help to alleviate not only your current infestation, but those attractants that keep these creepy crawlers coming back for more.

In-Depth Spider Removal

Part of what keeps spiders coming back to properties time and time again, is comfort. The great indoors is warm, cozy, provides a ton of places to set up their webs and has a never-ending food supply. You might not think that there are other, small insects hiding out in your living space but there are and these are feasts for spiders.

Instead of spraying or treating high-traffic areas alone, our team of experts make life that much more uncomfortable for spiders, pushing them out and not giving them a reason to come back.
