Before Your Spider Control Treatment
Complete all outdoor cleaning, painting, staining, or pressure washing before your scheduled spider control treatment.
Seal cracks and gaps around windows, doors, vents, and utility openings to prevent spiders from entering.
Repair damaged window screens and install weather stripping where needed to improve exterior sealing.
Trim bushes, branches, vines, and grass that are in contact with the structure to prevent access points. Maintain at least a three-foot clearance from the home’s exterior.
Reduce clutter around the home and replace cardboard storage with sealed plastic containers.
Move furniture, planters, firewood, barbecue equipment and stored items at least three feet away from exterior walls.
Remove cushions, dog bowls, toys, and any other items you do not want exposed to pesticide chemicals.
On the Day of Your Spider Control Treatment
Unlock all gates and ensure full access to the property for our staff.
Open patio umbrellas to allow full and even application of treatment products.
Keep all windows and doors closed during the spider control service.
Remove or cover any food plants from the area (tomato plants/ herbs).
During Your Spider Control Treatment
Keep all people and pets indoors or away from the treatment area for a minimum of 2 hours, until the product has fully dried.
Treatment time typically ranges from twenty to forty minutes, depending on property size and conditions.
After Your Spider Control Treatment
Spider control results will begin immediately following the application.
2 hours after treatment, all items can be put back in place.
Light cleaning of glass surfaces is acceptable, provided window frames and treated areas remain undisturbed.
Avoid rinsing or pressure washing treated surfaces for at least 60 days to maintain the effectiveness of the spider control application; otherwise, our guarantee will be void.
After our spider control treatment is completed, we will leave a “Service Completed Record” near the door of the property.
