Spiders
Most spiders are harmless, but black widows and brown recluses live in Texas garages, sheds and closets.
Main risk
Nuisance
Signs to look for
- Webs in corners, eaves, garages and window frames.
- Egg sacs in quiet storage areas.
- Spiders in boxes, shoes or clothes left on the floor.
Why it matters
Black widow and brown recluse bites need medical attention. A lot of spiders also means a lot of the insects they feed on.
How to keep them out
- Reduce clutter in garages, closets and attics.
- Use sealed plastic storage boxes instead of cardboard.
- Switch outdoor lights to yellow bulbs, which attract fewer insects.
How we treat them
We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the hiding spots inside and out, and deal with the insects that attract spiders in the first place.
