Spiders in northern Nevada
The Reno-Sparks high desert is ideal spider habitat, dry, warm, and full of the insects spiders feed on. Most of what you'll find around the home is harmless (cellar and orb-weaver spiders), but hobo and wolf spiders regularly wander indoors, especially as nights cool in late summer and fall. Because spiders come inside chasing other bugs, real control means treating the whole pest picture, not just the webs.
Why it matters
The vast majority of northern Nevada spiders are harmless, but bites can still cause reactions, and heavy webbing around a home is a sign of a larger insect problem underneath.
The fix

Spiders are covered by our spider control service. Knock down webs and the insects that feed them for cleaner corners and eaves.
