During the late spring and early summer months especially, spiders can cause havoc on any home. Generally, homes that are located close to the lake where moisture is high will typically see more spiders than homes in a rural setting. This is due to the fact that other insects are attracted to the high moisture content in the air, and spiders make their nests to trap and eat these other critters. In addition, once a spider infestation is left untreated, these insects have a higher chance at coming into the home.
How do you know if you are suffering from an infestation and require a spider extermination? Look around the exterior doors and windows. These insects will typically build their nests around these areas to catch flying or crawling insects. Also, check under railings or near outdoor lights as spiders will gravitate to these places. Within the home spiders can usually be seen crawling on ceilings or found in the basement. Any cool and dark place will certainly be suitable for their growth and habitat.

A spider pest control treatment will usually involve a spray. The liquid application done on the exterior structure of the home around the foundation, window frames, front porch, soffit, hand railings, decks, light fixtures, and all other necessary areas can last over 3 months on the exterior while indoor treatments can last over 6 months.

1. Why are there so many spiders around my home?
Spiders are extremely common throughout Durham Region, especially in homes located near Lake Ontario where insect activity tends to be higher. Since spiders feed on insects, areas with more flies, mosquitoes, and other pests naturally attract more spiders as well.
They are commonly found around:
- Exterior lights
- Railings and decks
- Windows and entryways
- Soffits and siding
Homes near the lake often experience heavier exterior spider activity during warmer months.
2. Where do spiders hide around homes?
Spiders prefer dark, sheltered areas where they can build webs and remain undisturbed. Common hiding spots include:
- Cracks and crevices
- Between siding panels
- Around soffits and rooflines
- Window and door frames
- Basements, garages, and storage areas
Exterior lighting and areas with high insect activity are especially attractive to spiders.
3. Can spiders get inside my home?
Yes. Spiders frequently enter homes through small openings around doors, windows, vents, and foundation gaps.
Once inside, they often settle in basements, corners, storage rooms, and other quiet areas where insects may also be present.
4. Are spiders dangerous?
Most spiders found in Durham Region are harmless, but some bites can still cause irritation, swelling, or allergic reactions.
Spider bites are uncommon because spiders generally avoid human contact, but infestations can become a concern when spider populations increase significantly around the home.
5. How do professionals treat spider infestations?
Professional spider control focuses on both spiders and the insects attracting them. Treatment may include:
- Applying exterior perimeter sprays
- Treating cracks and crevices
- Removing webs and nesting areas
- Treating soffits, siding, railings, and entry points
Reducing insect activity around the property is an important part of long-term spider control.
6. How much does spider pest control cost in Durham Region?
The cost of spider treatment depends on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation.
Exterior-only treatments are generally straightforward, while larger infestations involving both interior and exterior areas may require more extensive service. A professional inspection is the best way to determine accurate pricing. As always, all of our treatment methods are safe for children and your pets and only involve a period in order for the application to dry.
