Spiders are beneficial creatures but they can also be scary to many people. Research shows that most humans are born naturally afraid of spiders. This fear makes many people very uncomfortable having spiders in their home or workplace. Some people are so frightened that they are unable to function when a spider is present. We are here to help make your home or workplace a safe and comfortable space.

Spider Exterminators in Utah
Although spiders play an important role in ecosystems and with insect control, no one wants to find a spider in their home. As spider exterminators in Utah, we utilize a thorough process to keep spiders from entering your home. The first step in Utah spider control is identifying conditions welcoming to spiders and entry points into your home. This helps us come up with a treatment plan, which involves web removal and applying a long–lasting residual product around your home that deters spiders from entering or even being around your home. You can also reduce spiders by reducing the presence of other insects — something else Thorn Pest Solutions can help you with.
Spider Control Process:
Spider control always starts with a detailed inspection. We need to identify conducive conditions to spiders as well as possible entry points.
Removing webs not only helps the aesthetics of the structure, but also gets spiders moving so that they come in contact with the applied materials.
By applying a long lasting residual product around the structure we can drastically reduce the number of spiders in and right around the home. Special attention must be made in corners, around entry points like doors and windows, heavy vegetation, and areas that are attractive to other pests including flying insects. Thorn professionals apply the best materials in the right locations.
Part of spider control is identifying and eliminating their food sources (other pests). By reducing insects in the area, we reduce the amount of food for spiders and the area is not nearly as attractive to spiders.
Common Types of Utah Spiders
Black Widow Spider
Black widow spiders can be a serious health risk, especially to children and elderly people. Their bites can cause pain, nausea, cramping, and death (rare). The adult females are shiny black with a red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen.
Cellar Spider
Cellar spiders have long delicate legs with small, elongated bodies. They are not a health hazard. They feed on insects and other spiders and are common in basements, crawl spaces, under furniture, and in and around other rarely-moved objects.
Jumping Spider
Jumping spiders are active during the day and are very agile and they stalk their prey. They are smaller spiders and have very erratic movements. These spiders are beneficial but can become a nuisance when they move indoors.
Orb Weaving Spider
Orb weaving spiders are beneficial but can become a nuisance around structures. They build beautiful orb-shaped webs. These spiders are mostly found outdoors especially around overhangs of structures like porches and entryways.
Sac Spider
Sac spiders are smaller spiders with a yellowish color. They are can climb slick surfaces and often build a sac-like retreat where walls meet the ceiling. They can become a nuisance and do have a painful bite.
Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders are hunting spiders that range from small to very large. They have a unique eye pattern with large and small eyes. Females carry egg sacs on their spinnerettes and spiderlings on their back.
Woodlouse Spider
A woodlouse spider has a reddish cephalothorax (head) and a cream/grey colored abdomen. They have large fangs that are used for piercing isopods (potato bugs/rolly polies/pill bugs) which is their main food source.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are various steps involved with treating a spider infestation, but treatment always starts with a detailed inspection. The Thorn team will review the exterior of the building and identify areas that are conducive to fostering spiders, and search for entry points if spiders are making their way inside a building.
We will make recommendations for both spider removal and spider control to mitigate the infestation. While there are spider sprays available on the market, the most common treatments we recommend involve removing webs, reducing the food supply by controlling the presence of insects that spiders eat, and sealing entry points.

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.
