Spider Control on Long Island

Q: Are spiders on Long Island dangerous?

Most spiders found in Nassau and Suffolk County—like the common house spider or wolf spider—are harmless nuisance pests. However, the Yellow Sac Spider is very common in our area and can deliver a painful bite similar to a bee sting. While rarely life-threatening, no one wants to worry about what is crawling in their home. Our service ensures that harmless or not, they stay outside where they belong.

Your Trusted Local Spider Control Experts

Spiders inside your home are rarely random. They usually appear because insects are present and small entry points allow access. At EM Pest Control, we provide professional spider control services across Long Island, including Nassau County, Western Suffolk County, and Queens—focusing on removal, prevention, and long-term protection.

Our licensed technicians don’t just spray. We identify why spiders are present, remove webs and egg sacs, and create exterior barriers that help keep them from coming back.

Why Are Spiders Inside My Property?

Spiders usually enter homes for two reasons: food and access. They follow insects like flies, ants, and gnats, and they take advantage of small gaps around doors, windows, siding, and utility lines.

Seasonal changes can also increase activity. As temperatures cool, spiders often move closer to structures for warmth and shelter, which is why sightings are more common in garages, basements, and along exterior walls.

In many cases, ongoing spider activity points to underlying insect pressure or entry points around the structure. Addressing those conditions is key to long-term control.

You can certainly help manage the visual clutter by sweeping away webs and reducing clutter in basements or garages. However, most store-bought sprays are "contact killers," meaning they only work if you spray the spider directly. They offer little to no residual protection. Our spider pest control services create a long-lasting barrier that eliminates spiders you can't see and prevents new ones from entering your home for months.
