FAQ
Spiders: common questions
Do spiders mean another pest problem?
Often. Spiders follow their food, so a pest pro may also look for the insects drawing them in.
How do I know if a spider is dangerous?
In most of the U.S. only black widows and brown recluses are a real concern. If you're unsure, take a photo from a safe distance and ask a pest pro.
Why do I suddenly have more spiders?
Spiders follow their food. More spiders usually means more insects around the house, and many move indoors in fall.
What should I do after a black widow or brown recluse bite?
Clean the area and get medical advice, especially for children, older adults or severe symptoms. Call 911 for trouble breathing.
Do you do the treatment yourselves?
No. EmergencyExterminators is a referral service. The pest control company you speak with does the work and agrees the details with you directly.
