Let Bugs A to Z Protect Your Home From Spiders
Spider Project Home
Spiders are an exceptionally common problem for Southern California homeowners. They like to hang out near porch lights, in sheds and garages, and anywhere else they’re likely to get a meal. Unfortunately, they can sometimes make their way into your house and be quite a scary surprise.
While most spiders are not dangerous, if you’re not versed in the types, all spiders can appear threatening. And regardless of whether or not the spider is dangerous, you probably still don’t want it in your home. At bugs A to Z, we can help with a wide variety of pests including spiders. We can exterminate existing spider problems as well as place invisible barriers around your home to ensure that spiders and other unwanted insects don’t make their way back into your home.
Our expert technicians take spider pest control services seriously. When you call us for spider control, we will send a trained technician out to your home to perform a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior. Your technician will find any possible nesting sites, figure out how they’re entering your home, and create a comprehensive yet affordable pest control plan to ensure that your family is protected.
As with all of our pest control solutions, you are covered by our 100% percent satisfaction guarantee. If you see spiders come back in between scheduled visits or during your coverage window after a one-time service, we will come back again at no additional cost to handle the problem. Reach out to the team you can trust at Bugs A to Z today to schedule your service.
Common Spiders In Southern California
There are dozens and maybe even hundreds of spiders in southern California. Fortunately, you don’t see most of them very often. But there are a few varieties that we commonly encounter around Southern California homes and businesses. Those include:
- Black Widow: The black widow is a notorious spider. It’s known to be very poisonous and recognizable by the red or orange hourglass on its abdomen. These spiders generally nest lower to the ground and are common in garages and sheds. Black widows should be taken seriously and professional pest control should be employed if any are seen around your property.
- Brown Recluse: Like the black widow, brown recluses are also poisonous spiders that should be handled with professional pest control. They’re recognizable by their brown color and the violin-shaped marking on their cephalothorax. These spiders are especially dangerous for kids so hire a pest control company if you see them.
- House Spider: The American house spider, while not poisonous, may bite when threatened. Their bites can cause some itching and swelling in sensitive individuals but generally, they are not dangerous spiders. You will often find them building their webs in the high corners of your home, garages, and sheds.
- Wolf Spider: Wolf spiders are one of the most intimidating-looking spiders that we have in Southern California but they are generally harmless. They like to nest in burrows and hunt for their prey. You will often find them around the edges of your yard, in your garden, and sometimes they will make their way into your house.
No matter what type of spider you have around your home or business, the trained and experienced professionals at Bugs A to Z can help.

8 Effective Ways to Keep Spiders Out of Your Los Angeles Home
While spiders play a crucial role in our ecosystem, most of us prefer to admire them from afar rather than share our living spaces with them. At Bugs A to Z, we've been helping Los Angeles residents maintain spider-free homes since 2008. Here are our top tips for preventing these eight-legged visitors from making themselves at home in your house.
- Seal Entry Points
Spiders can squeeze through tiny openings. Inspect your home's exterior for cracks, gaps around windows and doors, and openings around pipes or wires. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal these entry points. This not only keeps spiders out but also improves your home's energy efficiency - a win-win for Los Angeles homeowners!
- Reduce Outdoor Lighting
Bright lights attract insects, which in turn attract spiders looking for a meal. Consider using yellow sodium vapor lights or low-wattage bulbs near your home's entrances. This simple change can significantly reduce the number of insects - and consequently, spiders - around your home.
- Keep Your Yard Tidy
Spiders love hiding in piles of leaves, wood, or other debris. Regularly clean up your yard, keeping it free from clutter. Trim bushes and trees away from your house to eliminate "bridges" that spiders might use to access your home.
- Remove Indoor Clutter
Spiders thrive in cluttered environments that provide plenty of hiding spots. Regularly declutter your home, paying special attention to storage areas like garages, attics, and basements. Use sealed plastic containers for storage instead of cardboard boxes, which can attract both spiders and their prey.
- Vacuum Regularly
Frequent vacuuming not only removes any spiders that have made it inside but also eliminates their egg sacs and prey. Pay extra attention to corners, baseboards, and under furniture - common spider hangouts.
- Use Natural Deterrents
Spiders dislike certain scents. Try using essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, or eucalyptus around your home's entry points. You can create a simple spray by mixing water with a few drops of these oils. Not only will this help deter spiders, but it will also leave your home smelling fresh!
- Reduce Moisture
Like many pests, spiders are attracted to damp environments. Fix any leaky pipes or faucets, use dehumidifiers in damp areas, and ensure proper ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens. This is particularly important in older Los Angeles homes that might be prone to moisture issues.
- Remove Existing Webs
Regularly remove any spider webs you find around your home. This discourages spiders from rebuilding in the same spot and makes your home less attractive to new arrivals.
When to Call Bugs A to Z
While these DIY methods are often effective, persistent spider problems may require professional intervention. If you're seeing an unusually high number of spiders, or if you're concerned about potentially dangerous species like black widows (which are native to Southern California), it's time to call in the experts.
At Bugs A to Z, we offer comprehensive spider control services tailored to the unique needs of Los Angeles homes. Our approach includes:
- Thorough inspection to identify spider species and entry points
- Targeted, eco-friendly treatments that are family and pet friendly
