Spider Control in Central Florida

Most Florida spiders (orb weavers, jumping spiders, wolf spiders) are beneficial โ€” they eat other pests. We target treatment on the venomous species (black widow, brown widow, brown recluse) and high-traffic areas like porches and garages, rather than blanket-spraying everything.

Why Most Spiders in Florida Aren't the Ones You Should Worry About

Of the spiders most Florida homeowners see, the actual medically-significant species are rare. The web on your porch is almost certainly a beneficial orb weaver. The hairy spider on the wall is probably a wolf spider that eats roaches. Here’s what to actually watch for:

  • Black widow. Glossy black, red hourglass on belly. Lives in undisturbed areas โ€” sheds, garages, woodpiles, under deck stairs. Bite is medically significant.
  • Brown widow. Light brown with orange hourglass. Common in Florida, often around outdoor furniture and outbuildings. Bite less severe than black widow but still requires medical attention.
  • Brown recluse. Rare in Florida but documented. Tan with violin-shaped marking. Bite causes serious tissue damage โ€” see a doctor immediately if bitten.

Our approach: web removal at entry points, perimeter spray with residual that targets the crawling insects spiders feed on (less prey = fewer spiders), and harborage reduction (clutter, woodpiles, debris). Targeted treatment on venomous species, not blanket overuse of pesticide.

Most Spiders Are Beneficial

The vast majority of spiders in Florida (orb weavers, jumping spiders, wolf spiders) eat other pests and pose no human risk. We focus treatment on venomous species and high-traffic areas โ€” porches, garages, doorways โ€” rather than blanket spraying.

Treatment Approach

Web removal (mechanical), exterior perimeter spray with residual that targets crawling insects spiders feed on, and harborage reduction (clutter, woodpiles, debris).

What Customers Say

Real reviews from Central Florida homeowners we’ve helped.

Heard scratching above our bedroom for two weeks. Two other companies wanted to spray pesticide and call it done. Central Florida Trapper actually went into the attic, found the roof rat entry, sealed it, and replaced the contaminated insulation.

A raccoon tore through our soffit and was raising kits. They located the babies, reunited them with mom outside, sealed everything, cleaned the attic. Done in three days. Insurance paid most because the paperwork was so thorough.

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

Same-day for a snake on our pool deck. Turned out to be a non-venomous black racer, but they explained the difference, removed it safely, and didn’t charge us a panic fee. Will absolutely call again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes โ€” when applied per label and dry (usually 2โ€“4 hours after treatment). We use products approved for residential use and explain re-entry intervals before treatment.

Depends on the pest. Cockroach gel bait shows results in 5โ€“10 days. Mosquito barrier is immediate. Ant baits take 7โ€“14 days to eliminate the colony. We follow up to confirm.

Both. One-time treatments for active issues, and scheduled programs (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly) for prevention. We don’t lock you into multi-year contracts.

We re-treat at no charge if the same pest returns within the warranty period. Specifics depend on the pest and treatment โ€” we put it in writing on the invoice.
