SPIDERS DON'T SHOW UP WITHOUT A REASON
If Spiders Are Finding Food, They're Likely to Stick Around
Spiders are predators.
They go where other small insects are available, which means recurring spider activity can tell you something about the environment around your home.
Exterior lighting may attract flying insects. Foundation areas and landscaping can support crawling insects. Garages, basements, sheds, eaves and quiet storage areas can provide protected places for spiders to build webs or remain concealed.
Instead of looking at every spider as an isolated problem, Hollenbeck considers what makes the property attractive to them.
Spiders May Not Be the Only Pests Around Your Home

Identification Makes a Difference

THE WEB IS A CLUE
Look at Where Spiders Keep Appearing
Spider control isn’t simply a matter of finding a spider and removing it.
Where activity occurs can tell us more.
Repeated webs around exterior lights may indicate abundant flying insects.
Spiders around a basement may benefit from humidity, shelter and other insects living there.
Activity around doors and windows may relate to insects being attracted to those same areas.
Professional service allows us to consider:
- Web-building locations
- Exterior lighting
- Door and window areas
- Foundation zones
- Basements and crawl spaces
- Garages and storage areas
- Eaves and overhangs
- Other insect activity
Sometimes reducing spiders begins with understanding their food supply.
HOW Hollenbeck APPROACHES SPIDER CONTROL
01
Find the Activity
We look at where spiders and webs are showing up rather than treating the property as one uniform space.
02
Consider What's Attracting Them
Spiders need prey. Other insects around the property can be an important part of understanding recurring activity.
03
Address Key Areas
Treatment recommendations are based on where spiders are living, traveling or building webs.
04
Think Beyond Today's Spider
When appropriate, we'll discuss conditions around the property that may encourage future activity

- I returned home from vacation to find yellow jackets flying around my basement. It was Saturday, but I called Hollenbeck, who I’ve had a service plan with for… the last few years, hoping to schedule an appointment when they opened the following week. Much to my surprise, they said they could dispatch someone same day for a nominal fee. The tech, Robert D., did a great job with a challenging situation involving a huge yellow jacket nest that infiltrated the foundation of my home, taking the time to explain every step he was taking to resolve the problem. I’ve been very satisfied with Hollenbeck in the past, and this experience further reinforces that I’m dealing with the most professional pest control company in the area. I appreciate both the quick response time (same day on a Saturday!) and the quality of the customer service provided in the field. Would strongly recommend. A+++

- Rob came to our home to treat for any ants and mice. He was so knowledgeable and very nice. I will be requesting him again for our next service.
Hudson Valley Spider Control From a Local Team
Why Are There So Many Spiders Around My House?
The answer often starts with another question:
What are they eating?
Spiders don’t chew on your house, raid your pantry or seek out people. They’re hunters.
A property with plenty of insects can therefore become a productive place for spiders to live.
Your Porch Light May Be Part of the Story
Think about an exterior light on a summer evening.
Moths and other flying insects gather around it.
For a spider, that’s opportunity.
Protected corners around lights, doorways, porches and rooflines can become productive locations for building webs.
This helps explain why repeatedly knocking down a web may not end the problem. If the location continues producing food, another spider may eventually take advantage of it.
What About Spiders Inside?
Indoor spider sightings can happen for several reasons.
A spider may accidentally wander indoors. Others may find quiet locations that provide shelter and access to prey.
Basements, garages, storage rooms, utility areas and other less-disturbed portions of a home can be particularly suitable.
Boxes and stored belongings can create additional protected spaces.
The goal isn’t to pretend a house can be permanently sealed against every spider.
It’s to reduce the conditions and pest activity that make repeated encounters more likely.
Web-Builders and Hunters
Not every spider uses a web to capture food.
Some build the familiar webs homeowners notice around corners and windows. Others actively hunt for prey and may be encountered moving across floors, walls or other surfaces.
That difference is another reason the absence of webs doesn’t necessarily mean spiders aren’t present.
Exterior Control Can Matter Indoors
What happens immediately outside a home can influence what eventually appears inside.
Vegetation touching the structure, insects gathering around lighting, cracks and openings, clutter around foundations and other conditions can all affect pest activity close to the house.
A thoughtful spider-control program therefore shouldn’t automatically begin and end inside the living room.
Hollenbeck can evaluate both sides of the structure.
You Don’t Have to Share Every Corner With a Spider
Spiders play an important role outdoors by feeding on insects.
That doesn’t mean they need to live in your basement or cover your front entrance with webs.
Hollenbeck Pest Control can help reduce spider activity while looking beyond the individual spiders you happen to see.
Common Questions About Spiders
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Sprays may kill visible worker ants without eliminating the colony responsible for the activity. If the nest remains active, additional ants can continue appearing.
What ants are common in the Hudson Valley?
Several ant species can become problems around Hudson Valley properties, including carpenter ants, pavement ants, and other common household ants. Proper identification is important because treatment strategies can vary by species.
Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home?
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate wood to create nesting galleries. Established colonies inside structural wood can cause damage over time and may be associated with moisture problems.
How can I tell the difference between carpenter ants and termites?
Carpenter ants and termites differ in appearance and behavior. Carpenter ants excavate wood for nesting, while termites consume cellulose. Because both can indicate a potentially serious pest issue, professional identification is recommended.
Do you treat ants inside and outside?
Yes. Depending on the infestation, ant control may involve interior activity, exterior nesting areas, entry points, or a combination of treatments.
Does Hollenbeck offer ongoing ant prevention?
Yes. Hollenbeck offers preventative service plans covering more than 30 standard pests for customers who want ongoing protection.
Less Webbing.
Fewer Unwanted Encounters.
If spiders keep appearing around your home, there’s more to investigate than the spider sitting in the corner.
