Spider Control & Removal in Cleveland County, NC
Most spiders are harmless, but brown recluses and black widows — both present in Western NC — are medically significant. H&H identifies the species and eliminates problem spider populations in and around your home.
Signs You Have a Spider Problem
Frequent sightings of spiders indoors, especially in closets, basements, and crawl spaces
Brown recluse webs — irregular, off-white, built in undisturbed areas like behind boxes and in closets
Black widow webs — strong, irregularly structured, built near ground level in sheltered spots
Multiple egg sacs found in corners, window frames, or outdoor lighting fixtures
A large insect population inside or outside the home (spiders follow their prey)
Webbing in corners, around exterior lighting, in garages or outbuildings
Finding spiders in bedding, clothing left on the floor, or shoes
Unexplained bites that cause significant tissue reaction or pain

Species Identification
We determine which spider species are present. Brown recluse and black widow sightings require a different urgency and treatment approach than common house spiders or cellar spiders. We inspect harborage sites specific to each species.
Web Removal & De-Webbing
We remove existing webs from eaves, corners, window frames, and other areas. This eliminates egg sacs and removes the residue that attracts other spiders.
Residual Perimeter Treatment
We apply a residual insecticide around the foundation, entry points, and harborage areas. Spiders that contact the treated surface are eliminated. Interior crack-and-crevice treatment is applied in active areas.
Prey Insect Reduction
Spiders follow insects. We address any concurrent insect populations (flies, moths, gnats, other insects) that are attracting spiders into the structure.
Why Professional Spider Treatment Matters
Western North Carolina is home to both brown recluse and black widow spiders. The brown recluse bite can cause necrotic skin lesions that take months to heal and may require medical intervention. Black widow venom is a neurotoxin that can cause severe systemic reactions, especially in children and elderly individuals.
Spiders are difficult to control with over-the-counter sprays because they don't groom themselves the way insects do — contact sprays often miss them. Professional residual formulations are applied in the locations spiders actually travel and rest, dramatically increasing efficacy.
Spider infestations are often a symptom of a larger insect problem. H&H's inspection-based approach identifies and addresses the underlying prey insect population, providing longer-lasting spider control. We've been protecting western NC families from dangerous spiders since 1974.
