Spider Pest Control & Extermination Services
Legacy provides spider pest control in Utah. Spiders can be most commonly found in our yards, but that does not mean that the occasional critter will not be found in a home or business. The most common spiders found in the Ogden and Salt Lake Valley are Jumping Spiders, Ground Spiders, Hobo Spiders, Black Widows, and Wolf Spiders. Spiders can be found all year long; and although most are harmless to humans, there are a few potentially dangerous breeds to look out for. Although there is generally very little danger from spider bites, it is still advisable to consult a physician. Successful elimination of spider infestations takes knowledge and familiarity of their behaviors, as well as pest control skills gained through years of experience. To successfully get rid of a spider problem, the best approach is to evaluate where it began.

PEST CONTROL
It’s important to realize that spiders vary in many colors and sizes, and knowing what type of spider you are dealing with is imperative to the way it should be handled. Here are a few things to know about spiders:
- Entry: Spiders can get into your home through tiny cracks searching for prey, water, or a new shelter.
- Webs: A spider’s web is as diverse as our palms, each one weaving it’s own special way. Majority of spider webs are found in corners of your home; doorways, windowsills, and any specific dark area where there may not be much human interaction and activity.
- Hunters: Spiders are hunters. If your home has an abundant amount of food, you can count on there being predators as well.
- Do-It-Yourself Approaches: Many DIY pest control methods only work on the problem at hand and do not incorporate different methods required for treatment.
