Spider exterminators
Regardless of the season, the spider can take up residence inside or outside your property whether in the attic, basement, on your terrace, near windows or roof. Many people find the spider frightening and disgusting even if it represents a great ally in the elimination of many harmful insects such as ants, earwigs and ladybugs. Its presence can therefore be highly disturbing, especially when it becomes very invasive. That’s why Extermination Pro- specialists offer their help to get rid of these pests quickly, efficiently and safely.
The different types of spiders
There are more than 35,000 species of spiders in the world. Spiders can come in different colors and sizes, but are always recognizable by their eight legs. The most common species found in homes are:
- House spider;
- Cellar spider;
- Wolf spider;
- Clubionidae;
- The Dolomedes;
- The Sword Diadem, or garden spider;
- The Black Widow of the North.
Our exterminators have the knowledge and skills necessary to properly identify the spider species and thus use the appropriate treatment to stop the presence of these harmful insects.
Where do spiders settle in the house?
Spiders are attracted to small, warm, dark spaces such as cracks, corners, ventilation ducts and the eaves of houses. Some species prefer to stay close to the outdoors by weaving their webs in barns, gardens or near outdoor lighting. Spiders are usually a nuisance because of their webs or the fear they cause in many people.
If you are concerned by a spider infestation problem, contact our professional spider exterminators who can help you find a clean space free of these harmful insects.
The life cycle of spiders
Mating
In the majority of species, the female goes in intensive search for sexual partners by spreading pheromones, real chemical signals, on her webs, her threads of movement or near her hiding place. The male weaves a spermatic web and deposits his sperm into it before inserting them into the female’s genital slit.
Egg laying
Some species can lay up to a thousand eggs wrapped in silk cocoons. Other spiders carry their egg sac on them until the time of hatching. In general, the eggs will hatch within 2 weeks.
The consequences of spiders for human beings
Spiders do not possess stingers. A spider bites, but only to neutralize its prey. People with allergies may develop an overreaction and sometimes death. Statistics confirm that only 5 deaths per year are attributable to a spider bite.
The species most likely to cause discomfort in humans is the malmignatte, a small black spider, cousin of the Black Widow. She is recognized by the red dots on her abdomen. Its bite can cause pain, sweating and fatigue. If the bitten area starts to swell excessively, it is probably an allergic reaction.
The spider can also be a source of a sickly fear, called arachnophobia, in many people. Some scientists believe that this fear is written into human genes. According to them, our ancestors knew to avoid spiders since their bite could cause death. Others believe that arachnophobia could develop as a result of a traumatic event such as a bite by this insect.
Whether these insects evoke fear or not, we strongly recommend that you contact us so that we can proceed with a spider extermination in full compliance.
How do you know if you need the services of a spider exterminator?
If the presence of spiders becomes too invasive and the home treatments performed do not work, it can be very useful to get advice from a professional exterminator. They will analyze the area affected by spiders to identify the species, the number of nests and the entry points into the house, if applicable. They will be able to understand the extent of the spider infestation problem and offer you an adequate treatment. For example, if our exterminators have to use an insecticide outside your home, they will choose a product that is rain-resistant and safe for plants. Moreover, all the products used are ecological and biodegradable.
