Spider Control in Austin – Black Widows, Brown Recluses & More

Spider Control Experts in Austin

Most spiders are harmless and even beneficial – they eat other insects. But in Austin, we have two spider species that pose a real danger to your family: the black widow and the brown recluse. Both are common in Austin homes, and both require professional treatment to control safely.

Beyond dangerous species, many Austin homeowners simply don't want spiders in their home. Our spider control service eliminates existing spiders, removes webs, and creates a barrier that prevents new spiders from entering.

Black Widow Control in Austin

Black widow spiders are common in Austin garages, woodpiles, outdoor furniture, and dark corners. They're identifiable by the red hourglass marking on their abdomen. Black widow venom is a neurotoxin that can cause severe pain, muscle cramps, and in rare cases, serious medical complications. Children and elderly individuals are most at risk.

We treat all areas where black widows are likely to hide, including garage corners, under shelves, around outdoor structures, and in crawl spaces. We remove existing webs and egg sacs and apply residual treatments that keep black widows away.

Brown Recluse Control in Austin

Brown recluse spiders prefer undisturbed areas – inside boxes, behind furniture, in closets, and in attics. Their bite can cause a necrotic wound that is slow to heal and may require medical treatment. Brown recluses are notoriously difficult to control because they avoid treated surfaces.

Our brown recluse control program uses a combination of sticky traps (to monitor and reduce populations), targeted residual treatments, and exclusion to seal entry points. We also advise on habitat modifications that make your home less attractive to brown recluses.
