Schedule a ServiceFear of spiders, or arachnophobia, is pretty common worldwide — 480 million people suffer from extreme fear. As for the rest of us, it's probably safe to say most of us don't like having run-ins with spiders. With eight legs, hairy or shiny bodies, and painful bites, these tiny creatures can be a source of great stress and anxiety.
However, spiders do incredible work for our world when they stay outdoors. The average spider eats over 2,000 insects in their lifetime, so keeping them alive and well-fed ensures that our planet is not overrun with more troublesome pests.
Spider control treatments in Salt Lake City, UT are a great solution to keeping spiders out of your home and in their natural habitats. The pest professionals at Thorn Pest Solutions Salt Lake City can work with you to develop lasting pest solutions that discourage spiders from entering your home in the first place.
Spider Control
When it comes to spider control, prevention is your best option as a home or business owner. Start by reducing clutter in and around your home
Spiders love to hang out in wood piles outdoors, and when they make their way inside, clutter is their ideal hiding spot. Removing stacks of newspaper, trash, or boxes gives spiders fewer places to hide and nest.
If you see a web in your home, vacuum it immediately to avoid leaving behind residue or an egg sack. Be sure to empty your vacuum bag in an outdoor trash can to prevent hatching new spiders in your home.
Clean up all messes immediately, especially after cooking. Crumbs and spills on counters can attract flies, ants, and other pests that spiders will feed on.
Trim back any overgrown landscaping, especially near your home. Spiders and bugs will find a natural habitat in tall grass and plants. A spider could find its way inside if these are growing close to your home.
If you notice any cracks or crevices around your home, seal them up. These are entry points for spiders, and sealing them up will discourage spiders from entering during colder months when the outdoor environment may be the cause of a potential infestation.
A spider infestation can be emotionally taxing due to the anxiety and fear surrounding these pests. Calling a professional pest management expert will give you peace of mind that your spider control treatment plan will work.
We'll start by identifying the causes of your spider problem. Spiders are often attracted to a home because it provides a suitable habitat and an abundant food source in the form of other bugs.
As pest management experts, if the problem is another pest infestation feeding the spiders, we can develop a plan for treatment that will rid you of all the bugs in your home.

Spiders are extremely common in Utah. It is estimated that up to 1 million spiders can live on an acre of land! Luckily most of these spiders are not pests and help with insect control. There are a few species of spider here in Utah that are more prone to invade homes and become a pest. These include black widow spiders, wolf spiders, house spiders, woodlouse spiders, hobo spiders, cellar spiders, and yellow sac spiders.
The best way to keep spiders out of your home is to improve exclusion (sealing up the home). You can also prevent spiders from coming indoors if you discourage them from coming near the house. Clear piles of clutter from around the exterior of the home or building, and remove webs as they’re formed.
Whether it's a black widow spider, hobo spider, or even a common spider, we understand how troubling it can be to have spiders in your home or business, and we can help.
Everyone has a different tolerance and comfort level with spiders. The fear of spiders or arachnophobia is one of the top 10 phobias that humans have. So with that being said, you should call a professional when your tolerance or threshold for spiders has been exceeded. For some people this will be one spider and for others this won’t be until seeing a spider becomes a regular occurrence. Businesses should also consider the variety of tolerances of their guests or patrons. Spiders make many people very uncomfortable and may cause a client to have a bad experience. Spiders in the work place also may not be tolerated.
