Sometimes, fighting against spiders can feel like a war, specifically, a war that you will never win. It feels this way for a good reason. These pests are nearly infinite. The only thing that keeps them out of your home is your home itself. As long as they can find tiny gaps, holes, and cracks to crawl through, they will continue to invade.

We are going to take some time today to show you how you can win the war against spiders in your Phoenix home for good. Call Eco Valley Pest Control for fast and effective services. We will share some of our options for spider removal and help you find permanent freedom from these invasive bugs.

Spider Behavior: How They Hunt, Feed, And Mate

If there are spiders inside your home, they are there for a good reason. Most often, these pests break indoors to hunt. Some common spiders hunt from the ground, using their dexterous limbs to skitter up to unsuspecting prey. Others build webs in the corners of rooms or between door frames. Web spiders tend to have bulbous abdomens and thin legs. Ground spiders often have thicker legs and flat bodies.

All spiders breed in the same way. Males store sperm inside females. The females then use this sperm to fertilize eggs. Some common species lay thousands of eggs in their lifetime. The last thing we want is for them to lay these eggs inside your home.

Symptoms Of Spider Bites: What To Expect And How To Treat

There are a few different kinds of spiders that can pierce human skin with their bites. Some have a mild venom that can cause a small amount of pain, redness, and irritation. Others have a much more potent venom that causes things like necrosis or neurological symptoms. If a dangerous spider bites you, you will feel quick-growing and severe pain.

The two most harmful species in Phoenix are the black widow and the brown recluse. If you suspect either of these pests are inside your home, do not hesitate to call in our professionals. If you suffer from a bite, seek medical attention to reduce pain and avoid lasting symptoms.
