Spider Control

Reno Spider Control Services by Bonanza Pest Control

Personalized Spider Removal Solutions in Northern Nevada

Spiders are a common sight throughout the U.S., but there are more than 4,000 species of spiders found in North America alone. Not all of them live in every state. In Nevada, nearly 700 spider species have been identified. While most people rarely notice them, some spiders do find their way indoors, and even harmless species can startle you when they appear unexpectedly.

Though having any type of spider inside may cause concern, you can count on Bonanza Pest Control for personalized Pest Control solutions in Northern Nevada. Our licensed technicians have years of experience handling spider removal and developing plans tailored to your home or business. We focus on addressing current spider concerns and also use preventive techniques to reduce future invasions.

Our team understands the seasonal challenges homes and businesses face across Reno and the surrounding region. In spring and summer, spiders often enter properties looking for cooler shelter and insects. When temperatures drop throughout Washoe County, spiders seek warmth indoors, nesting in crawl spaces and seldom-used storage areas. We design our solutions around these seasonal patterns to help you avoid unwelcome spider encounters all year long.

Common Spiders That Invade Indoors

Many spiders wander inside by accident while searching for food. Spiders often hunt small insects like flies, worms, mosquitoes, and moths. Some larger species will eat snails, frogs, lizards, or birds. If you spot spiders in your house, it may signal a broader insect issue that needs attention. By learning what spider types you might encounter, you can better understand their habits and identify possible risks to your living spaces.

Here are some of the most common spider species found in Northern Nevada:

  • Wolf Spider: Wolf spiders, relatively large at up to an inch long, do not build webs but use their strong legs to hunt and chase prey. They can be found in open grasslands and fields across Reno, but will enter homes for shelter or food.
  • Jumping Spider: Jumping spiders are about as big as a penny, with long thin legs that let them leap many times their body length. These active predators hunt during the day and turn up on windowsills or in bright areas as they search for insects.
  • Black Widow Spider: Black widow spiders stand out by the bright red hourglass marking on the abdomen. Although venomous, their bites are rarely fatal if properly treated. They prefer quiet spots such as garages, woodpiles, and sheds.
  • House Spiders: House spiders vary in size, usually between 3/16 and 5/8 inch long. They spin funnel webs near small cracks or crevices in walls or furniture where insects travel. Most house spiders are harmless and can actually help reduce insect populations indoors.
  • Brown Recluse Spiders: Brown recluse spiders, just about 1/4 inch long, are hard to spot without close inspection. These timid venomous spiders rarely bite unless threatened. You’ll often find them in dark, undisturbed places like closets, attics, or basements.

At Bonanza Pest Control, our licensed technicians perform thorough inspections to identify the spiders present and offer customized solutions for removal. Our services focus on both removing current spiders and preventing new ones from moving in, so your space stays comfortable.

Many homes in the Reno area, especially near the Truckee River or open sagebrush, experience higher spider activity because of increased insects in those environments. Neighborhoods with older homes or crawl spaces tend to have more entry points and offer extra shelter for spiders. By understanding your property’s surroundings, we tailor our inspection and treatment process, targeting what matters most for your specific home or business.

Why You’re Seeing Spiders in Reno

Reno’s dry climate and seasonal temperature swings create the perfect environment for spiders to thrive. These pests often enter homes seeking shelter, food, and moisture.
Common reasons for spider infestations include:

  • Other insects nearby: Spiders follow their food source.
  • Cracks and entry points: Gaps around windows, doors, or foundations.
  • Untidy storage areas: Garages, basements, and sheds are favorite hiding spots.

Understanding why spiders invade helps us create a targeted control strategy that doesn’t just remove them—but keeps them from coming back.

Where Do Spiders Like To Hide?

Spiders hide well inside buildings, often settling in places like attics, basements, closets, or garages. You may also spot them around furniture or in room corners where insects gather. Where infestations take hold, they may leave cobwebs on walls, eaves, and furniture. Knowing these hiding places helps create a targeted spider management plan that addresses where they live and how to keep them away.

Wherever spiders settle in your home or business, our technicians have the tools and knowledge to address them. Our team develops a treatment plan tailored to your property, removing current spiders while stopping more from getting inside. This approach includes checking and addressing entry points, so your space receives a thorough service.

Properties near open land, parks, or rivers in the Reno area often provide ideal hiding places for spiders, especially where dense vegetation grows close to exterior walls. Moving stored items and checking less-used rooms regularly makes it easier to notice spiders before they settle in. We recommend paying close attention to entry points in ground-level vents and crawl space doors, which are common in many local homes.

Some of the steps we take for spider control include:

  • Knockdown and removal of webs
  • Vacuuming spider eggs and webs
  • Crack and crevice treatments to eliminate any spiders living in hard-to-reach locations
  • Application of residual insecticides to kill spiders on contact 
  • Installation of spider monitors that can detect the presence of spiders or egg sacs
  • Minor exclusion work like sealing external cracks and holes in entry points

Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Removal in Reno

What Is The Best Way To Prevent Spiders From Entering My Home?

Preventing spiders from getting inside relies on physical barriers and environmental management. Seal cracks, crevices, and openings around windows, doors, and foundations to block entry. Keep your home clean to remove webs and reduce clutter that gives spiders places to hide. Maintain a trimmed garden and keep plants away from the house, reducing spider habitats. Reducing outdoor lighting that draws insects can also lower spider activity near doorways and windows.

How Often Should I Have Spider Control Services in Reno?

Regular spider control can help maintain a spider-free property. We recommend pest services on a quarterly schedule to manage both spider and insect populations. Depending on your property location and needs, more frequent treatments might help. Working with Bonanza Pest Control gives you a service plan based on local pest trends and your environment, so you have peace of mind year-round.

What Are the Risks Associated with Spider Infestations?

A spider infestation can create nuisance issues and health concerns. Spiders can unsettle residents due to their appearance, and venomous species have the potential to pose health risks. While most spiders help control other insects, their presence can cause worry. For those with spider anxiety or allergic reactions to bites, spider control supports a safer, more comfortable environment. At Bonanza Pest Control, we take steps that help reduce these concerns effectively.

Are Your Spider Removal Methods Safe for My Family and Pets?

Yes, the safety of your family and pets comes first at Bonanza Pest Control. Our methods use eco-friendly products and proven techniques to limit exposure to harmful substances. We meet all regulatory guidelines so treatments remain safe and effective. The team applies each solution with care to avoid risks to your loved ones, and we offer clear guidelines after service to maintain safety at home.

What Should I Do After a Spider Treatment Is Completed?

Once a spider treatment is done, follow any advice given by our technicians to maximize effectiveness. Leave treated areas undisturbed for the time specified so treatments work fully. Keep your space clean and repair possible entry points to prevent new infestations. Remove cobwebs and check common spider areas when cleaning. Our team provides support and clear aftercare steps for lasting results.

How Can I Tell If I Have a Spider Infestation?

You may notice webs in corners, basements, or garages, as well as increased spider sightings around windows and door frames. Some spiders, like wolf spiders, don’t use webs but roam visibly. If you find multiple spiders regularly or see egg sacs, that’s a strong sign of an infestation. Bonanza Pest Control can provide an inspection to identify the spider species and determine the level of activity.

Do Spiders Indicate Another Pest Problem?

Yes — spiders often show up where there’s an existing insect problem since they prey on flies, ants, and other small bugs. Their presence can signal an underlying pest issue in your home. Our technicians at Bonanza Pest Control perform integrated pest management, targeting both spiders and the insects that attract them to achieve lasting results.

What Types of Spiders Are Common in Reno?

The most common species found in Reno include black widows, wolf spiders, cellar spiders, and domestic house spiders. While most are harmless, black widows and some wolf spiders can pose risks if provoked. Our local team is trained to identify and safely remove all spider types common to Northern Nevada.

How Long Does a Spider Treatment Last?

The effectiveness of a treatment can vary depending on your environment and level of infestation. Typically, Bonanza Pest Control’s treatments provide protection for 60–90 days. Regular maintenance services help keep barriers strong and ensure that spiders and other pests don’t return.

Can I Handle Spider Control on My Own?

While small spider problems can be reduced through cleaning and sealing cracks, DIY products rarely eliminate infestations fully. Spiders lay eggs in hidden areas that over-the-counter sprays might not reach. Professional treatments from Bonanza Pest Control offer long-term results and ensure safe, thorough removal using proven pest management techniques.

Do You Offer Same-Day or Emergency Spider Control Services?

Yes. Bonanza Pest Control provides same-day and emergency spider control services throughout Reno and nearby areas. If you’ve discovered a large number of spiders or suspect a venomous species, our technicians can respond quickly to inspect and treat your property safely.
