Spider Control in Southeast Michigan

Spiders are among the most common pest concerns in Michigan homes. While the vast majority of spiders found in Southeast Michigan are harmless, they are unwelcome in most homes. Spiders typically enter structures in search of prey , addressing other insect populations reduces spider activity. Common indoor spiders include cellar spiders, house spiders, wolf spiders, and occasionally brown recluse.

Identification

Michigan has several species that fall under this pest category. Here is what to look for.

Common House Spider

Small, brown, and builds irregular cobwebs in corners. The most frequently encountered spider indoors. Harmless.

Wolf Spider

Large, hairy, brown spider up to 35mm. Fast-moving and does not build a web. Startling but not dangerous. Venom is mild.

Brown Recluse

Light to dark brown with a distinctive violin-shaped marking. Small , about 10mm body. Michigan is at the northern edge of their range; encounters are uncommon but possible.


How We Treat

Spider treatments target webs and harboring areas with residual products. Treating other pest populations that spiders feed on reduces the food source driving spider activity. Dewebbing during treatment removes egg sacs and reduces re-establishment.

FAQ

Three native spider species in Michigan are considered medically significant: the yellow sac spider, the northern black widow, and the northern cobweb spider. The yellow sac spider is the most commonly encountered of these and causes more bites than any other Michigan spider. The northern black widow is found in Michigan but is timid and bites are infrequent. The brown recluse is not native to Michigan. Isolated populations have been found in about 10 counties, but all are believed to have arrived through transported goods. Most suspected brown recluse bites in Michigan are actually yellow sac spider bites or unrelated skin conditions.
Spider populations typically increase in late summer and fall as they mature and become more visible. Spiders follow their prey , higher insect activity means more food for spiders. Addressing overall pest populations helps reduce spider numbers.
