Professional Spider Pest Control for South Florida Homes

Spiders are among the most common complaints homeowners in South Florida have about the exterior of their homes. Webs appear overnight around doors, windows, garage openings, eaves, porch lights, and anywhere insects gather. Beyond being unsightly, some spider species in Broward County can bite and cause painful reactions, and large populations of spiders around your home's entrances make coming and going unpleasant.

At Royal Pest & Termite, our spider treatment service goes beyond a one-time spray. We provide a quarterly service plan with four treatments per year.

Types of Spiders in South Florida

Broward County is home to a wide variety of spider species.

Wolf Spiders

Wolf spiders are among the most common spiders in South Florida and one of the species homeowners encounter most often. They're large (body up to an inch, legs spanning 3 to 4 inches), dark brown with striped markings, and fast-moving.

Banana Spiders

Banana spiders are the large, yellow-and-black spiders that build enormous webs between trees, across walkways, and along fence lines throughout South Florida. Their webs can span several feet and are remarkably strong.

Brown Widow Spiders

Brown widow spiders have become increasingly common in South Florida in recent years. They're related to the black widow but are tan to brown with an orange or yellow hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. Brown widows are venomous, though their bites are generally less severe than those of black widows.

Black Widow Spiders

Black widows are present in South Florida, though they're less commonly encountered than brown widows. They're shiny black with a distinctive red hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. Black widows are venomous and their bites can cause significant pain, muscle cramps, and in rare cases require medical attention.

Crab Spiders

These small, colorful spiders are distinctive for their hard, crab-like shell with spiny projections. They're white, yellow, or red with black spots and build circular webs between trees, shrubs, and along porches and fence lines.

Other Common Species

Other spiders commonly found around South Florida homes include garden spiders, jumping spiders, long-jawed orb weavers, and various cobweb spiders that build messy webs in corners, garages, and storage areas.

How Our Spider Control Service Works

From your first call to ongoing protection, here's what to expect when you partner with Royal Pest & Termite.

Web Removal

On each visit, we start by removing all visible spider webs from around your home's entrances, doors, windows, garage doors, eaves, porch areas, and any other spots where webs have accumulated. We use specialized brushes to reach webs under eaves, in soffit corners, and around light fixtures.

Insecticide Brush Treatment

After web removal, we apply a professional-grade insecticide using a treated brush along the surfaces where spiders build webs and travel. This creates a repellent barrier on the surfaces around your doors, windows, entrances, garage openings, eaves, and exterior walls.

Quarterly Follow-Up

Our spider treatment service includes four visits per year, one every quarter. Each visit includes fresh web removal and a new application of the insecticide treatment. This quarterly schedule provides consistent, overlapping protection so you're never left without a barrier.

Unlimited Callbacks

If spiders or webs become a problem between your quarterly treatments, call us, and we'll come back at no additional cost to address the issue. Our unlimited callback guarantee means you're covered between every scheduled visit, not just during the treatment window.

What Attracts Spiders to Your Property

Moisture: Many spider species prefer moist environments. Leaky faucets, A/C condensation, over-irrigated landscaping, and poor drainage create conditions that attract both spiders and the insects they eat.

Dense Landscaping: Thick shrubs, hedges, and vegetation close to your home provide an ideal habitat for spiders. Orb weavers build webs between branches, and ground-dwelling spiders like wolf spiders use dense ground cover for hunting.

Clutter and Sheltered Areas: Garages, storage areas, woodpiles, and areas with accumulated items provide dark, undisturbed hiding spots that spiders, including brown widows and black widows, prefer for nesting.

Just had a No Tent Termite Service completed today. I live in Miramar and wanted to use a local company. I am very satisfied. The process began 2 weeks ago with their Sales Representative Aaron Wilton. I am in sales so I recognize a professional. He was knowledgeable and presented options clearly without pressure including attractive payment terms. The 2 techs who preformed the service were Greg and Michael who were polite, through and efficient. I would certainly recommend Royal Pest.

Spider Control FAQs

How do I get rid of spiders around my house?

The most effective approach is professional quarterly spider treatment. We remove existing webs and apply a repellent barrier that discourages spiders from rebuilding. Between treatments, reducing outdoor lighting (or switching to yellow bug lights), keeping landscaping trimmed away from the house, and addressing other insect populations all help reduce spider activity. DIY sprays provide temporary relief but don't offer the consistent, overlapping protection that a quarterly treatment plan provides.

Are there brown recluse spiders in Florida?

No. Brown recluse spiders are not established in South Florida. Their natural range is the central and southern Midwest, and they do not have established populations in Broward County. While an occasional brown recluse may arrive in shipped goods or relocated belongings, you won't find brown recluse colonies in Florida homes.

Are any spiders in South Florida dangerous?

The two venomous species found in Broward County are the black widow and the brown widow. Both can deliver painful bites that may require medical attention, though fatalities are extremely rare. Black widows are less common but more venomous; brown widows have become increasingly prevalent in South Florida and tend to nest in sheltered areas where people reach without looking, under furniture, inside mailboxes, and in garage door tracks. Our spider treatment helps reduce the population of all spider species around your home, including these venomous ones.

How much does spider treatment cost?
Our spider treatment is a quarterly service plan that includes four visits per year plus unlimited callbacks between visits. Pricing depends on the size of your home and the extent of the spider activity. The quarterly plan provides consistent, year-round protection rather than a one-time treatment that wears off. Call us for a quote based on your specific property.
Why do I have so many spider webs around my doors and lights?
Spiders build webs where they can catch the most prey. Porch lights, exterior spotlights, and illuminated windows attract flying insects at night, and spiders set up their webs nearby to intercept them. The areas around your doors, garage lights, and exterior fixtures become prime real estate for web-building spiders. Our treatment removes the webs and applies a repellent barrier that discourages spiders from rebuilding in these high-traffic areas.
What are the big spiders with yellow webs between my trees?
Those are most likely banana spiders (golden silk orb weavers). They’re large, yellow-and-black spiders that build impressive webs between trees, across walkways, and along fence lines. Despite their size, banana spiders are not aggressive and very rarely bite. Their webs are their main nuisance, they appear in high-traffic outdoor areas and can span several feet. Our spider treatment addresses web removal and treats the areas where these spiders commonly build.
