There are many different types of spiders in Michigan. Most of them are just web spiders and house invaders. A spider problem can be more than just phobia-inducing, as their droppings can stain siding and webbing can create quite a visual nuisance. Despite this, there are only two spiders in Michigan that are considered dangerous: the Brown Recluse and the Northern Black Widow. Identification is critical with spiders, and we always ask our customers to try to save the specimen for the professional to identify and treat accordingly.

Spiders and their webs attack any unprotected structure. Do you come back to your home and have to walk through webbing to reach your door? Are you sweeping webbing off your screens so you can look out your windows? Do you have to wash the spider mess off your windows more than once a year? These problems are widespread in wooded and heavily-scrubbed areas as well as waterfront properties. Spiders leave droppings, which will spot and pit out wood, vinyl, and painted siding. A pest control application will prevent you from having to do these chores for the season.
