WHY CONTROL SPIDERS?

If you’re noticing more spiders around your home or spotting webs in dark, undisturbed areas, it’s a sign that these pests could become a problem. While many spiders are harmless, some species, like black widows and wolf spiders—both common in Iowa—pose real risks through venomous bites that can harm both people and pets.

These spiders thrive in hidden spaces and outdoor environments. Taking proactive steps with spider pest control ensures your home stays safe from these potentially dangerous creatures.

1. Regain Control of Your Home

Spiders shouldn’t make you feel uneasy in your own space. With professional help, you can eliminate spider activity and prevent them from taking over key areas like garages, basements, and outdoor sheds.

2. Avoid Unwanted Encounters

Even non-venomous spiders can cause discomfort when found indoors. By addressing spider populations early, you can reduce the chance of unwelcome surprises and ensure your home remains a comfortable, spider-free environment.

3. Protect Your Pets

Though wolf spiders are not aggressive, they may bite if provoked. Professional spider control helps protect both your family and pets from unwanted encounters and the discomfort that bites may cause.

Spider Control Services

At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we understand how unsettling it can be when spiders invade your home or property. That’s why we offer customized spider control services designed to target the specific species common in Iowa, like black widows and wolf spiders.

Our approach ensures that your space stays spider-free, allowing you to feel comfortable in your home again.

  • Comprehensive Spider Treatment: We start by reducing the insect populations that spiders feed on and identifying common spider hideouts, such as basements, sheds, and woodpiles. This targeted approach ensures we disrupt their habitats, leading to effective and lasting results.

  • Long-Term Prevention: We don’t just address the current spider problem. By cleaning cluttered areas, storing firewood away from buildings, and advising on routine maintenance, we provide tips that help prevent spiders from coming back in the future.

  • Custom Plans for Your Property: Each property is unique, so we tailor our spider control services to meet your specific needs. Whether it’s a minor issue or a more widespread spider infestation, our team ensures that we find the right solution for long-term control.

Additional Tips for Spider Prevention:

  • 1

    Wear gloves and long sleeves when moving stored items, especially in cluttered areas like basements or outbuildings.

  • 2

    Property insurance may sometimes cover the removal of pests like bats, cleaning up associated waste, and replacing insulation, but it generally does not cover sealing entry points.

HOW TO SPOT SPIDER ACTIVITY

Bats nesting in attic space

Spiders can be elusive, but identifying signs of their presence early helps you manage them effectively. Watch out for these common indicators of spider activity:

1. Webs in Undisturbed Areas

Check for spider webs in dark, undisturbed corners like basements, attics, and storage areas. Web-building spiders often spin webs in places where there is little foot traffic or movement.

2. Spiders Crawling Indoors

If you notice spiders crawling around floors, walls, or ceilings, especially in low-light areas, it’s a sign they may be breeding inside. Wolf spiders are particularly active hunters and may be seen at night.

3. Spider Egg Sacs

Look for spider egg sacs in corners, under furniture, or in storage areas. These small, round sacs can hold dozens of spider eggs, signaling a potential infestation if left unchecked.

I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.

Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On-time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
