Why Charleston homes draw spiders
Many older homes on the peninsula and in West Ashley sit on raised crawl spaces and have deep porches and piazzas. Those shaded, sheltered spaces stay dark and undisturbed for long stretches, which is exactly where wolf spiders hunt and black widows build. Wolf spiders do not spin webs to catch food. They roam and hunt, and often wander in under doors and through gaps around the crawl space.
Charleston's warm, humid climate keeps insects active for much of the year, and spiders follow their food. Porch lights pull in moths and gnats, damp crawl spaces draw roaches and other insects, and the spiders move in behind them. Around the yard, black widows favor dark spots close to the ground: woodpiles, stacked pots, utility boxes, and the gap under a deck or shed.
Spider control for porches, crawl spaces, and yards
A spider visit starts with a free inspection of the places spiders hide on your property. We treat the harborage points we find, along with the crawl space and the foundation, and knock down the webs under eaves, around doors, and across porch ceilings. Because spiders stay where the food is, we also treat for the insects that draw them in, so fewer spiders come back after the webs are gone.
For year-round protection, our 3 Zone Protection Plan covers spiders as part of regular service. It includes a de-webbing program and web removal during the perimeter spray, and it starts at $269 initial and $45 per month. We cover homes across the Charleston area from the Tennent St branch, including Mount Pleasant, James Island, and Summerville.
