Spider Problems in Your Home?
- Finding spiders throughout your home, especially in basements and corners?
- Walking into webs constantly, inside and outside?
- Worried about venomous spiders like brown recluses?
- Spider populations seem to be increasing?
- Family members have arachnophobia and can’t relax at home?
While most spiders in Michigan are harmless, nobody wants to share their home with eight-legged roommates. Excessive spider populations often indicate other pest problems – spiders go where the food is.
Professional Spider Control in Royal Oak
Spiders enter homes looking for prey and shelter. The best way to reduce spider populations is to eliminate the insects they feed on and remove conditions that attract them. Our spider control approach addresses both the spiders and their food sources.
Our Royal Oak spider specialists inspect your home to identify spider species, locate activity areas, and assess underlying pest issues. We apply targeted treatments and recommend environmental modifications for long-term control.
Royal Oak’s older homes with basements, attics, and many entry points provide ideal habitat for various spider species. Michigan’s humid summers also support large insect populations that attract hunting spiders.
Common Spiders in Royal Oak
House Spiders
The most common indoor spider, house spiders are small, yellowish-brown, and build messy, tangled webs in corners, basements, and undisturbed areas. They’re harmless but their abundant webs can be unsightly.
Wolf Spiders
Large, hairy, and fast-moving, wolf spiders don’t build webs – they hunt their prey. They often enter homes in fall seeking warmth. Their size alarms many people, but they’re not aggressive and rarely bite unless handled.
Cellar Spiders (Daddy Longlegs)
Pale spiders with extremely long, thin legs, cellar spiders build loose, irregular webs in dark, damp areas. They’re completely harmless and actually eat other spiders and insects.
Jumping Spiders
Small, compact spiders that jump to catch prey. They’re often seen on sunny windowsills and walls. Jumping spiders have excellent vision and are curious but harmless.
Brown Recluse Concerns
Brown recluse spiders are rare in Michigan – we’re at the northern edge of their range. However, if you suspect brown recluse activity, contact us for proper identification. Don’t rely on internet images – many common spiders are misidentified as brown recluses.

Our Spider Control Process
Step 1: Inspection
We inspect your home’s interior and exterior to locate spider activity, identify species, and assess underlying pest issues that may be attracting spiders.
Step 2: Web Removal
We remove existing webs and egg sacs. This reduces the current population and eliminates the visual nuisance while treatments take effect.
Step 3: Treatment
We apply residual treatments to areas where spiders travel and hide. We also treat for the insects that spiders feed on – reducing the food source reduces spider populations.
Step 4: Prevention
We provide recommendations for reducing spider-friendly conditions – clutter reduction, exterior lighting changes, sealing entry points, and ongoing pest management.
Understanding Spider Behavior
Spiders are beneficial predators that eat many pest insects. A few spiders in your home are normal and even helpful. However, large populations indicate conditions that should be addressed.
- Spiders follow their food – lots of spiders means lots of insects
- Most spider bites are actually from other causes
- Outdoor lighting attracts insects, which attract spiders
- Clutter provides hiding spots for both spiders and prey
