Spider Control The Villages — When to Call a Professional
The majority of spiders found in US homes are harmless. However, Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders — both present across much of the US — deliver medically significant bites. Properties with high spider populations also indicate an underlying insect population sustaining them.
In The Villages, spider populations tend to be highest in undisturbed areas — garages, basements, crawlspaces, storage areas, and exterior perimeter zones with dense vegetation or debris.
Recognising Black Widow and Brown Recluse Spiders
Black Widow: shiny black body, red hourglass on underside of abdomen. Found in dark, undisturbed areas. Brown Recluse: light to medium brown, violin-shaped marking on cephalothorax. Found in boxes, closets, and basements. Do not attempt to handle either species without professional assistance.
