Your Trusted Local Spider Control Experts

Spiders seek shelter in Long Island homes for warmth and food, often hiding in basements, corners, and garages. While most are harmless, their presence—and the unsightly webs they leave behind—can make your home feel neglected or unsafe.

Store-bought sprays offer zero long-term protection. At EM Pest Control, we stop the infestation at the source. We don’t just spray; we physically remove active webs, identify vulnerable entry points, and apply a lasting barrier to keep your family safe and your home spider-free.

Why Does My Property Have Spiders?

Spiders are naturally found wherever insects are active. Unlike pests that seek human food, spiders are predators that seek out other pests. If you are seeing spiders in your home, it is a strong indicator that you have an underlying population of insects—like flies, ants, or moths—serving as their food source.

They seek out quiet, undisturbed areas to build webs and hunt, making your basement, garage, and corners of your ceiling's ideal habitats. While most spiders on Long Island are a nuisance rather than a danger, their presence signals that your home’s perimeter defenses have been breached.

How Do Spiders Get In?

Spiders are agile and can enter through the smallest openings, often following drafts or seeking moisture.

  • Cracks & Crevices: Unsealed gaps in the foundation or siding.

  • Torn Screens: Small tears in window or sliding door screens.

  • Gaps Under Doors: Worn-out door sweeps allow them to crawl right in.

  • "Hitchhiking": Spiders frequently enter homes inside cardboard boxes, potted plants, or on firewood brought in from outside.

How EM Pest Control Gets Rid of Spiders

Protecting your home shouldn't be a constant struggle with store-bought sprays. We take the burden off your shoulders, giving you the assurance that your spider problem is being solved the right way:

  • Free Inspection: Our technicians inspect your property—from the basement corners to the attic eaves—to identify the specific species of spider and locate the entry points.

  • Customized Treatment Plan: No two homes are the same. We create a service plan tailored to your family's needs, utilizing eco-friendly products that are tough on pests but safe for your children and pets.

  • De-Webbing: We physically removing accessible webs and egg sacs from ceilings, light fixtures, porches, and eaves. This disrupts their breeding cycle and keeps your home looking clean.

  • Targeted Treatment: Unlike general spraying, we treat the specific hiding spots where spiders rest and breed. We apply residual products to baseboards, windowsills, and door frames to create a protective barrier.

  • Exclusion Services: We identify and seal common entry points—such as gaps around utility pipes, worn door sweeps, and cracks in the foundation—to physically block spiders from re-entering your home.

  • Recurring Protection: Spiders are persistent re-invaders. We implement recurring seasonal visits to refresh your exterior barrier, ensuring that as the seasons change your home remains protected year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions on Spider 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.

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.

Spiders prefer dark, quiet, and undisturbed areas. This includes corners of ceilings, window frames, eaves, cluttered basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Our spider control service targets these specific harborages and nesting sites.

Yes. We use professional-grade treatments applied strategically to spider habitats and exterior entry points. We minimize risk by focusing on cracks, crevices, and outdoor perimeters, and we always follow strict safety guidelines to protect your loved ones during our residential pest control service.

It is extremely rare. While occasional sightings happen (usually from moving boxes arriving from other states), established populations of Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders are not native to New York.
