Spiders

Spiders are natural predators that help keep insect populations in check, but when they invade your home or yard in large numbers, they quickly shift from being helpful to becoming a nuisance. A spider problem often points to a bigger insect issue since spiders only settle where food is abundant. Gardens, flowerbeds, trees, and even standing water can attract both insects and the spiders that hunt them. Once insects enter your home for food, water, or shelter, spiders are likely to follow.

While most spiders in Texas are harmless, their presence indoors can still cause anxiety, messy webs, and the occasional bite. The main concern in our area is the brown recluse, whose venom can cause painful skin reactions and infections. If spiders are making themselves too comfortable around your property, professional identification and treatment are the best way to eliminate them and prevent future infestations.
