#1 Spider Exterminators in kansas city

These eight legged creepy crawlies can do more than just give you goosebumps. Certain spiders can cause major harm to humans and pets when they bite. Our pest experts can identify both venomous and nonvenomous spiders and help you get rid of them. We offer residential and commercial spider treatments as a one-time or routine service.

Pricing Options

Option 1: General spiders and brown recluse spiders are included at no extra charge with our residential quarterly pest control plan. (recommended)

Option 2: $110 brown recluse spider treatment on top of our one-shot pest treatment pricing.

***Brown recluse spiders can live in homes and businesses for generations, and just like their name, they love to hide. We recommend staying on top of them with multiple treatments. Our quarterly pest preventative plan is highly recommended, but if you choose our one-time treatment plan, we recommend coming back the following two months to re-treat problem areas.***

  • $50 extra per treatment
  • Recommend two $50 monthly follow-ups following the initial treatment.

Signs of A Spider Infestation

Common signs of a spider infestation in your home include:

  1. Increased Webs: The most noticeable sign of a spider infestation is the presence of webs, especially if you see many webs in different areas of your home. Different spider species build different types of webs—some are messy and irregular, like those of house spiders or black widows, while others, like orb-weavers, create more organized, circular webs.
  2. Seeing Spiders Frequently: Spotting spiders more frequently, especially in various areas of your home, could indicate an infestation. While it’s normal to occasionally see a spider indoors, seeing several on a regular basis suggests a larger population may be present.
  3. Egg Sacs: Spider egg sacs, which look like small, round, silk-covered sacs, are another sign of an infestation. Each sac can contain hundreds of baby spiders, which can quickly multiply the number of spiders in your home.
  4. Increased Insect Activity: Spiders are attracted to homes with ample food sources, primarily insects. If you notice a spike in insect activity, such as flies, mosquitoes, or ants, this could attract spiders and lead to an infestation.
  5. Finding Spiders in Unusual Places: Spiders typically hide in dark, undisturbed areas like basements, attics, and closets. However, if you start finding them in more frequently used areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, or living rooms, this could signal that their population is growing beyond control.

When Does it Become a Problem?

A spider infestation becomes a problem when:

  • If you’re seeing spiders almost daily or in multiple rooms, it suggests the population has increased significantly.
  • If dangerous species like brown recluses or black widows are identified, it becomes more concerning due to the potential health risks.
  • Spiders reproduce quickly, and finding multiple egg sacs means more spiders are on the way, potentially leading to an overwhelming infestation.

At this point, professional pest control should be considered to effectively manage the situation and prevent further spread.

Having Issues With Creepy Crawly Siders? Call Gunter Pest & Lawn.

"Gunter Pest Control is the ONLY company I call when I'm in need of any kind of pest control. Leo is our tech and he is wonderful. He had sprayed for all the spiders, and other varmints and a few weeks later we found a spider which we thought was a brown recluse. It wasn't, however the office was very helpful and as soon as Leo was back in the office he came back out and did a complete and thorough spray again, plus laid down pest strips to insure we would not be seeing anymore of those and even checked to see if there was evidence of mice coming in. Give Gunter a call. I'm sure you will be as pleased as I am. I will continue to do business with Gunter as long as I own my home."

Where Do Spiders Typically Live And What Are Their Habits?

Spiders have various habitats depending on the species: Jumping spiders: They do not construct snare webs but instead build loosely woven web treatments. They are active during the daytime and are excellent jumpers. Brown recluse spiders: They are nocturnal and create irregular webs as retreats. They can be found outdoors around rocks, utility boxes, and woodpiles, as well as indoors in undisturbed areas like boxes, papers, apparel, and crevices. Wolf spiders: They actively hunt at night and rest in sheltered places during the day. They can be found indoors near the floor along walls and under furniture, as well as outdoors under stones, landscape timbers, and debris. Cellar spiders: They build loose, irregular, tangled webs in corners and hang upside down. They are usually found in dark and damp places such as cellars, basements, and crawl spaces.

What Threats Do Spiders Pose To Humans And Pets?

While most spiders are not harmful to humans, certain venomous spiders like the brown recluse can cause major harm when they bite. The brown recluse bite can result in intense pain, blisters, and ulceration. However, the presence of spiders like wolf spiders and cellar spiders is typically accidental and they are not inclined to bite humans unprovoked.
