The Problem in South Florida
Most South Florida spiders are harmless and even helpful, but nobody wants webs across the lanai, the garage ceiling or the front entry. Our warm climate supports large populations of golden silk orb-weavers, cellar spiders, jumping spiders and, the one we take seriously, brown widows, which love the underside of patio furniture, mailboxes, grills and children's play equipment.
Spiders are a symptom pest. They follow their food, so a spider problem usually means there is another insect population feeding them around your lighting, landscaping and soffits. That's why we treat both.
Signs You Have a Problem
- Webs in corners, eaves, soffits, lanais and garage ceilings
- Funnel or messy tangle webs under patio furniture and grills
- Round, spiky egg sacs, a brown widow indicator
- Heavy insect activity around exterior lights at night
- Spiders indoors near windows, garages and storage areas
- Bites or unexplained welts, which warrant a same-week inspection
How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It
Every treatment uses EPA-approved products applied by licensed, insured and bonded technicians, safe for pets and family when the label and our re-entry guidance are followed.
- 1
Perimeter and void inspection
We check eaves, soffits, lanais, garages, sheds and patio furniture for active webs, egg sacs and widow harborage.
- 2
De-webbing
Physical removal of webs and egg sacs from the structure, this alone dramatically reduces re-population.
- 3
Residual treatment
Targeted application to entries, corners, eaves and harborage zones where spiders travel and rest.
- 4
Food-source reduction
We treat the flying and crawling insects spiders feed on and recommend lighting changes that stop attracting them.
- 5
Ongoing prevention
Regular service keeps webs from rebuilding, which is the only long-term fix in our climate.
