Sun Spiders: A Common Phoenix Pest
Scary LOOKING but usually harmless, and VERY common in the Phoenix AZ Valley from March – October.
Although they’re usually harmless, these spiders CAN bite. All spiders are venomous, and reactions depend on the victims response to the spiders venom. Just like with Bee stings, those who are allergic will have a more severe reaction.
Spider Pest Control in Phoenix
- As scary as they look, these spiders are actually good for our environment! If you find one INSIDE, the best thing to do is to move it outside so they can eat other bugs! If you can’t do that, you can vacuum them up.
- To control these bugs OUTSIDE remove harboring habitats around your home and 30 feet out into your yard. Eliminate debris, woodpiles, rock piles, and any other object that would give shelter from the sun.
- Trim all landscaping AWAY from the house, so that no bushes or trees touch the home.
- Replace exterior light bulbs with YELLOW BULBS as they DO NOT attract bugs that these spiders PREY ON.
- The Best Exterminator on Earth will suggest ways to seal Your home against pests with EXCLUSION.
