« back to Pest ID

Spiders are the number one most feared insect when it comes to pests. When you have problems with too many spiders in your home, it’s time to call Ford’s Hometown Services. There are many types of spiders, so you never know what you may discover lurking in the dark spaces in your home. Let our pest control professionals help you take back your home from spiders today!

Tens of thousands of spider species have been identified throughout the world. Spiders, also known as arachnids, have eight legs and three or four pairs of eyes. Although many spiders are completely harmless, there are some types of spiders that can land you in the hospital if you get bitten. If you see any spiders in your home, make sure to identify them right away and call the professional exterminators here at Ford’s Hometown Services if you need help with identification and elimination.

There are many strategies when it comes to spider extermination. If you see a lot of other insects around your home, this may prompt spiders to move in, as they eat other insects. Many spiders can be found near light sources, where they can eat the flying insects that are drawn to the light. So reducing the presence of other insects in your home can actually reduce your spider problem. We can help you with that as well!

Call us at Ford's Hometown Services for the perfect solutions to your spider extermination and control needs, at home or at work.

    BEST Customer Service.
    "I cannot express my appreciation enough for Jeremy and Zack! I called about a hornet nest in the wall while my husband was in the emergency room for an allergic reaction to a sting he received while trying to deal with the situation. Jeremy gave me the earliest possible appointment two days out with the promise of a call if someone could squeeze us in sooner. Enter Zack. He came 2 1/2 hours later and dealt with the nest, putting us all at ease. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The BEST customer service."

    "Zak & Bob Ford did an excellent job with the foundation termite treatment. They performed the work on a timely basis. They were very careful with the landscape around the foundation and all holes that were drilled in the driveway and concrete structures were carefully repaired. They were highly informative and professional, and took the time to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Fords Hometown Services."
