Garage and shed service
The most common scope, since garages and sheds are dark, quiet and often cluttered. The technician clears the webs and egg sacs, treats the corners and doors, and suggests storage changes that keep the space less attractive.

Spider Control
Spider Control: what it covers
Quick answer
Spider control in Orlando focuses on where spiders build and hunt: garages, sheds, porches, eaves and the landscape beds next to the house. Webs and egg sacs are removed, and the entry points and light sources that draw insects are addressed. Orlando Pest Control sends a local technician to plan the work across Orange County.
Most spiders that people find around a Central Florida home are outdoor animals that wander in, or that build webs in the corners of spaces people rarely enter. The garage, the shed, the porch ceiling and the eaves are the usual places, and the webs there are often more of a nuisance than a danger.
Spider control works on the places spiders use and on the insects they feed on. A web in a corner of a garage is a sign that the space is quiet and has food moving through it, so the plan removes the webs and egg sacs, reduces the attractions and treats the edges where the spiders gather.
This page keeps the species generic on purpose. The sourced record for this site does not identify specific spider species for the Orlando area, so a technician who needs to know what a spider is will collect a sample and name it on site rather than by assumption.

Why are there so many spiders around the house in Orlando?
Spiders follow insects, and insects gather where there is light, moisture and shelter. The warm, humid months and the wet season bring more insects near the house, and the spiders that feed on them build webs in the same corners. The count rises with the insects, not with a single cause.
A garage or porch with a bright light at night draws moths and other flying insects, and spiders build around that feeding ground. Turning off or changing the light and clearing the corners removes much of the reason the spiders are there.
Landscaping that is close to the walls, mulch against the foundation and leaf litter in the beds all add shelter. A technician notes these when walking the edge of the building.
Which spiders should I be worried about?
The sourced record for this site does not name specific spider species for the Orlando area, so this page does not assign a species to a sighting. A spider that bites, or that a household is worried about, should be collected and identified by a technician, and medical advice should be sought after any bite.
Most spiders around a home are not a medical concern, and the usual call is about webs and clutter. A bite that causes pain, swelling or a spreading reaction needs a doctor, whatever the spider is.
If a spider is found and the household wants it identified, keep it in a sealed container and bring it to the visit. The technician confirms it on site, and the plan is set from the result rather than from a guess.
Do outdoor lights bring spiders to the door?
Lights attract the flying insects that spiders feed on, so a bright fixture near the door or the garage can gather prey and the spiders that follow it. Warm-colored or shielded fixtures and turning lights off when they are not needed reduce that draw.
The technician notes which fixtures are left on overnight and which sit close to a web or an egg sac. Changing the bulb type or the timer is a simple step that the household can take before any treatment.
Lights near a pool, a dock or a garden path are often the main draw in the yard. The plan treats the area around the light rather than the light itself.
Should I spray spiders I see inside the house?
A single spider seen inside a room is usually a visitor, and spraying the room does not address the reason it came in. Remove the web or the spider, clear the clutter it used, and call if webs keep forming in the same place. The technician treats the edges where the activity is recorded.
Spraying a visible spider often misses the others in the same corner and leaves residue on surfaces people touch. The removal of webs and egg sacs does more for the household than a spray across the room.
A repeated sighting in one room, or webs that return within days, is the signal to call. The technician records the spot and treats the edge that the activity follows.
How often does spider control need to happen?
It depends on how much insect activity surrounds the home and how quickly webs return. Most homes need a planned set of visits through the warm months and fewer visits in the cooler season, and the technician sets the schedule after the first walk.
Because mild winters do not stop insect activity entirely, the plan does not assume the spiders are gone for the season. The follow-up visits are used to check the same corners and to adjust the schedule.
Between visits the most useful step is to keep the garage tidy, store items off the floor and turn off unneeded lights. Those steps reduce the number of webs the technician needs to clear.
Warning signs
Signs you need spider control
Do not handle a spider with bare hands, and do not put your hand into a web, a woodpile or a dark corner without looking first. Seek medical care after any bite that causes pain, swelling or a spreading reaction. Keep products placed by the technician out of reach of children and pets.
- Webs in the corners of a garage, shed, porch ceiling or under an eave
- Egg sacs attached to a wall, a beam or the underside of a shelf
- Spiders near a porch light or a window at night, where insects gather
- Webs across a walkway, a gate or the lower part of a shrub by the house
- Spiders in stored boxes, shoes or a pile of clothing in the garage
- Webs that rebuild in the same corner within days of being cleared
- A spider sighting inside a bedroom or bathroom that is not explained by a pest pattern
Our process
How our spider control visit works
Walk the outside and the garage
The technician checks the porch, eaves, garage corners, shed and the landscape beds that touch the walls. Light fixtures and door gaps are noted, because insects that gather at lights are what keep spiders close.
Remove the webs and egg sacs
Webs and egg sacs are removed by hand or with a tool so that the population cannot rebuild from the same spot. This step is quick, but it is the one that reduces the most visible activity.
Address the attractions
Insect attractions, such as a bright porch light left on overnight, clutter that gives hiding places and leaf litter against the house, are identified. The owner is told which ones to change.
Treat the edges and the harborage
A product labeled for the site is placed along the eaves, door frames, garage corners and the base of the wall where spiders move. Landscape beds are treated at the edge, not broadcast across the plants.
Check the sites again
A follow-up visit looks at the same corners and at any new web. The record shows which spots keep returning, so the next visit can concentrate there rather than repeat the whole walk.
Options
Types and options for spider control
Porch and eave service
Focused on the outside of the house where light draws insects and spiders build webs at the eaves. The light sources, the door frames and the ceilings of covered porches are treated and cleared.
Landscape edge treatment
A treatment of the beds and the strip of ground next to the foundation, where spiders and their prey gather. Plants are not sprayed across the bed, and the treatment stays at the building edge.

Orange County
Why spider control is different in Central Florida
Garages and sheds in Orlando are where most spider calls begin. Many houses have a garage that is used for storage and not for cars, which gives webs a quiet corner for months at a time. The technician clears those spaces first, then checks the walls and doors around them.
Yards in Winter Park and Maitland with mature trees and shaded landscape beds give spiders a lot of edge to build along. The plan treats the edge of the beds next to the house, where the activity starts.
Newer subdivisions such as Hunters Creek and Lake Nona have covered lanais and screened porches. Those spaces collect insects near the lights and screens, and the plan checks the corners of each one.

FAQ
Spider Control FAQs
Are spiders in my garage dangerous?
Most spiders around a home are not a medical concern, and the usual problem is webs and clutter. Any bite that causes pain, swelling or a spreading reaction needs medical advice. The technician does not assign a species on sight, so a sample is collected when identity matters.
Why do webs keep coming back in the same corner?
A corner that stays quiet, is near a light and gets insects passing through will attract new webs. Clearing the web is the first step, and changing the light and the clutter stops the cycle. The record shows which corners return.
Will spider control stop insects coming to my porch?
It can reduce the spiders that follow insects, but the insects come for the light and the shelter. Changing the porch lighting and clearing the corners helps more than a spray. The technician will say which steps matter most for the porch.
Is spider treatment safe around pets?
Products are placed along edges and corners, out of reach of pets and children. Tell the technician about pets before the visit, and ask where each product goes. Keep pets out of the area until the product has dried.
Can I remove webs myself?
Yes. Removing webs and egg sacs with a broom or a long-handled tool is a useful step between visits. Wear gloves, watch for spiders and do not reach into dark corners without looking. Report corners that keep refilling.
How do I get a spider identified?
Collect the spider in a sealed container, note where it was found, and bring or photograph it for the visit. The technician confirms the identity on site, and the plan follows from that rather than from a general assumption.
