Common Spiders Found in Fort Worth Homes
While most spiders you encounter are harmless, North Texas is home to a few species whose bites can be medically significant. Being able to identify a potential threat is key, but given the risks, it is always safest to leave handling and removal to a trained professional.
- Black Widow: This infamous spider is shiny black with a distinctive red hourglass marking on the underside of its abdomen. Black widows build messy, irregular webs in dark, undisturbed areas like woodpiles, garages, and crawl spaces.
- Brown Recluse: Often identified by the dark, violin-shaped mark on its back, this spider is reclusive by nature. It hides in dry, dark places like closets, attics, and behind furniture, and has a bite that can cause serious tissue damage.
- Wolf Spider: These large, fast-moving spiders are typically brown or gray and are hunters rather than web-builders. They are often found at ground level and can be alarming due to their size, but they are not considered dangerous.
- Jumping Spider: Small, active spiders that are excellent jumpers. They hunt during the day and are generally harmless to humans, often seen on exterior walls, windows, and fences.
Given the presence of venomous species in our area, any spider you cannot identify with 100% certainty should be treated with caution.
Our IPM Strategy for Lasting Spider Control
At Ameri-Tech Termite & Pest Control, Inc., we know that a lasting solution to a spider problem is about more than just spraying the spiders you see. We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy, a smarter, holistic approach that addresses the entire ecosystem of your infestation for long-term results.
- Step 1: Thorough Inspection and Analysis: Our process starts with a detailed inspection of your property. We identify the types of spiders present, locate their nests and webs, and, most importantly, assess the populations of other insects that are serving as their primary food source.
- Step 2: Reducing the Food Source: The key to keeping spiders away is to eliminate what attracts them. Our treatment plan includes managing the populations of ants, flies, crickets, and other common insects that spiders prey on.
- Step 3: Web and Egg Sac Removal: We physically remove existing webs, nests, and egg sacs from your home's exterior and interior. This immediately improves your home's appearance and helps reduce future spider populations.
- Step 4: Targeted Barrier Treatments: We apply targeted, low-impact barrier treatments to the exterior of your home, focusing on entry points like windows, doors, and foundation cracks to deter spiders and other pests from getting inside.
By treating the cause, not just the symptom, our IPM approach provides a far more effective and sustainable solution for keeping your home spider-free.
Why Spraying for Spiders Isn't Enough
When faced with a spider problem, the first instinct for many homeowners is to reach for a can of insecticide spray. However, this approach rarely provides a lasting solution and fails to address the complexities of a spider infestation, and it can even be dangerous.
The most significant risk is misidentifying a venomous spider. Attempting to spray a Black Widow or Brown Recluse can put you at risk of a defensive bite. Furthermore, spiders are often a visible symptom of a much larger, less visible insect problem that is attracting them to your property in the first place.
Simply spraying for spiders ignores their food source, meaning new spiders will quickly return to take advantage of the abundant prey. A truly effective, professional IPM strategy focuses on eliminating this food source and creating a protective barrier, which is the only way to achieve long-term control.

"Very Pleased with Ameri-Tech"
The technician is always very professional & friendly. They always do a great job and we have no bugs before they come back. Can always call them back if we need but very rarely do we need to do this. They always call before they come.

"Zerp Complaints & I Highly Recommend"
Used them for over a year since we moved into our new home. They come out quarterly and treat for everything. They even include fire ant mounds within 10ft of the house so that was awesome!

"Amazing Service"
Love the fact I don't have to have a contract but they still provide excellent service. Had them spray for an out-of-control wasp issue all around our house and inside our garage and what a difference! So happy with the results.

"Loyal Customer for Two Decades"
Ron always does a good, thorough job, and is very pleasant. The company is always so good about reminding me "it's time" (to spray). I have been using Ameri-Tech for about 20 years, and won't change.
