Spider Extermination
Spiders are common in Ontario and can be both a nuisance and a potential health concern for homeowners and businesses. While most spiders are harmless, some species can pose risks to humans and pets. Fast Pest Control offers professional spider control services to ensure your home or business remains safe and spider-free.
What Are Spiders?
Spiders are arachnids known for their eight legs and ability to spin webs. They can be found in various environments, from homes and gardens to forests and fields. While spiders help control insect populations, their presence indoors can be unwelcome. Some common spider species in Ontario include the Common House Spider, Wolf Spider, and Black Widow.
Common Spider Infestations
Common House Spider
The Common House Spider is often found in homes, garages, and sheds. They are small to medium-sized spiders with a brownish appearance and a round abdomen. These spiders build messy cobwebs in corners and undisturbed areas.
Wolf Spider
Wolf Spiders are robust and hairy spiders commonly found outdoors in Ontario. They are usually brown with distinctive markings on their bodies. Unlike many other spiders, Wolf Spiders do not spin webs; instead, they hunt their prey on the ground.
Northern Black Widow
The Northern Black Widow is a venomous spider found in some parts of Ontario. They are recognizable by their shiny black bodies and red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen. While bites can be painful, they are rarely fatal.
Cellar Spider/ Daddy Long Legs
Cellar Spiders, also known as Daddy Longlegs, have long, thin legs and small bodies. They are typically found in damp, dark places like basements, crawl spaces, and cellars. These spiders build irregular, tangled webs and are harmless to humans.
Spider Infestations: The Signs
Increased Webs
A noticeable increase in spider webs around your home or business, especially in corners and undisturbed areas.
Spider Sightings
Frequent sightings of spiders, particularly larger or unusual species, can indicate an infestation.
Spider Egg Sacs
Finding spider egg sacs attached to walls, ceilings, or furniture can be a sign of an infestation.
Unexplained bites or skin irritations, although rare, can be a sign of more dangerous species.
Bites
An increase in dead insects around the property can attract spiders seeking food.

How To Prevent Spider Infestations
To minimize the risk of spider infestations, maintain a clean and clutter-free environment. Regularly dust and vacuum areas where spiders may hide, such as corners, ceilings, and under furniture. Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, and foundations to prevent spiders from entering your home. Additionally, reduce outdoor lighting at night to minimize insect activity, which attracts spiders.
