Indiana's climate supports dozens of spider species, and Crown Point's wooded lots, basements, and attached garages give them plenty of places to establish webs. Common house spiders and cellar spiders are harmless but proliferate quickly in undisturbed corners and storage areas. The greater concern is the brown recluse, a venomous species found throughout Lake County whose bite causes necrotic skin lesions in some cases.
Spiders follow their food source — if you have a spider problem, you likely have an underlying insect problem feeding them. Our spider control approach addresses both layers: we reduce the prey population that sustains spiders, apply a residual barrier that kills spiders on contact, and physically remove existing webs and egg sacs to prevent new generations from hatching indoors.
Using extension dusters and web-removal tools, we clear all accessible webs and egg sacs from corners, eaves, window frames, and basement joists — removing the current generation and future hatchlings.
We apply a residual pyrethroid treatment along baseboards, door frames, window sills, and exterior foundation areas. Spiders crossing treated surfaces are eliminated on contact.
For confirmed brown recluse activity, we apply insecticidal dust into wall voids, behind baseboards, and in attic spaces where recluse spiders nest. Dust treatments remain effective for months.
We identify and recommend sealing gaps around pipes, window screens, and door sweeps that allow spiders to re-enter, reducing the need for frequent re-treatment.
"Found a brown recluse in my bedroom and completely panicked. They came out the same afternoon, checked every room, and treated all the voids. Haven't seen another one."
"My basement was covered in cellar spiders — webs everywhere. They cleaned it all out and sprayed. Still clear three months later."
"Asked about the brown recluse situation in the area and the tech was very knowledgeable. Explained exactly what to look for and where to check. Very reassuring."
