Spiders are probably one of the most common household pests in North Jersey. In the summer, they like to hang out in corners looking for lunch. And in the winter, they seek shelter inside to escape the cold weather.

In our region spiders are, for the most part, harmless. Venomous spiders (a brown recluse or black widow spiders) don’t often make it to these parts and if they do, it’s usually by accident. House spiders are not dangerous but they do tend to freak people out.

Common Places To Find Spiders

Spiders have a tendency to build unsightly webs in the corners of rooms. They also hang out in basements and attics, under furniture and in closets, and underneath decks and porches. Basically, any area that is dark and secluded is prime real estate for most arachnids.

Why Do I Have A Spider Problem?

Chances are if your home is attracting other bugs, you’ll have spiders too. Spiders feed mainly on insects, and if you manage your in-house insect population chances are you’ll see fewer and fewer spiders around the house. This task is best accomplished by partnering with a pest control company that offers a year-round program to eliminate common household pests.

Spider Prevention Tips

The best way to prevent a spider invasion is to try to make sure they cannot enter the structure in the first place. Here are a few ways you can keep these pests outside where they belong:

Seal cracks and crevices on the exterior of the structure, from the foundation to the top of the roof.
Caulk gaps around windows and doors.
Install door sweeps.
Trim bushes and trees away from the dwelling so spiders cannot use their branches as a bridge.
Inspect screens on exterior windows and doors to make sure they do not have any tears or rips in them.
Inspect packages before bringing them inside.
Keep clutter to a minimum in basement, attic and closet areas.
Fix leaky pipes and fixtures to eliminate a water source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are spiders in my New Jersey home dangerous?

Most spiders found in New Jersey homes are harmless and actually beneficial, as they eat other insects. However, species like the black widow—found occasionally in NJ—can deliver a venomous bite that requires medical attention. If you’re uncertain about the species, contact PermaKill for a professional assessment.

Why do I suddenly have a lot of spiders in my house?

A spike in spider activity usually means there is an abundant supply of insects inside your home—spiders follow their food. Spiders also move indoors in the fall, seeking warmth. Gaps around windows, doors, and pipes are common entry points. Addressing both the spiders and their prey insects resolves the issue long-term.

What are the most common spiders found in New Jersey homes?

Common NJ house spiders include the American house spider, cellar spider (daddy longlegs), wolf spider, and occasionally the black widow. Wolf spiders are large and alarming but non-aggressive. Black widows are identifiable by a red hourglass marking on the abdomen and require immediate professional treatment.

How does PermaKill eliminate spiders from my home?

PermaKill’s spider control involves a thorough inspection to identify species and harborage areas, followed by targeted residual pesticide applications to baseboards, corners, crawl spaces, and exterior entry points. Treatment targets both spiders and the insect populations they feed on.

Can spiders come back after treatment?

Without ongoing prevention, spiders can return—especially in the fall. PermaKill offers maintenance plans that include periodic perimeter treatments to keep spiders and other insects from re-establishing in and around your home throughout the year.

Are spider control treatments safe for children and pets?

PermaKill uses professional-grade, EPA-registered products applied in targeted areas to minimize exposure. Your technician will provide specific instructions for the day of treatment regarding any temporary precautions for pets and small children. When used according to label directions by licensed professionals, modern Pest Control Methods are safe for families, including children and pets.

How can I reduce spiders in and around my home on my own?

Vacuum webs and egg sacs regularly. Seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundations. Reduce clutter in basements, garages, and storage areas. Keep outdoor lighting minimal—lights attract insects, which attract spiders. Remove wood piles and debris from around the home’s perimeter.

Do spiders cause structural damage to homes?

No, spiders do not cause structural damage. However, their presence in large numbers can be a sign of a broader pest infestation in your home, as spiders are drawn to areas where other insects are present. PermaKill’s inspection identifies the root cause.
