Most spiders are nocturnal, becoming active at night and retreating when disturbed unless they are attending to egg sacs or young. During the day, they typically remain hidden and inactive in cracks, crevices, or near their webs.

Spiders can be classified into two primary groups: web-building spiders and non-web-building spiders. Web-building spiders, although often considered a nuisance due to the mess their webs create, especially outdoors, are generally harmless. Non-web-building spiders, including species such as Whitetails, tend to hide in various places during the day. These locations can include cracks, behind curtains, inside shoes, and any other dark areas.

The treatments for both types of spiders are quite similar; however, it may take slightly longer to be effective when targeting non-webbing spiders due to the limitations on where treatments can be applied. It is advisable to remove spider webs with a soft brush or broom approximately ten days after treatment for optimal results. If spider webs are cleared prior to treatment and spiders remain active, new webs can quickly reappear. This is a service we also provide.
