Clear out webs and hiding spots, and cut down the insects that bring spiders around.
Most spiders in Central Alabama homes are harmless house spiders, cellar spiders, and wolf spiders. They spin webs in corners, eaves, and light fixtures, or roam across floors at night. Even so, nobody wants to walk into a web on the porch or find one crawling across the bathroom floor.
A couple of spiders here do deserve respect. The brown recluse is tan with a darker violin-shaped mark and likes dry, undisturbed places such as closets, boxes, attics, and storage rooms. The black widow is shiny black with a red hourglass on its belly and hides in woodpiles, sheds, garages, and under outdoor furniture. Both can bite when trapped against skin, so it helps to wear gloves when moving stored items and to shake out shoes and clothes left in the garage.
Spiders show up because they have something to eat. If your home has plenty of ants, flies, roaches, or other insects, spiders will follow. Knocking down webs helps, but lasting control means cutting down their food supply too. Clutter in garages, basements, and closets gives spiders more places to hide, so clearing out old boxes and storing items in sealed bins makes a real difference. Outdoor lights also draw in the insects spiders hunt, which is why porches and eaves often collect the most webs.

Most house spiders in Central Alabama are harmless and actually eat other pests. The two to watch for are the brown recluse and the black widow. If you think you have either one, give us a call.
Brown recluses like dry, undisturbed indoor spots such as closets, boxes, and attics. Black widows prefer woodpiles, sheds, garages, and dark corners outside. Wear gloves when you reach into these areas.
Spiders go where the food is. If your home has other insects, spiders will stick around. Reducing those insects is one of the best ways to reduce spiders.
