Spiders play an important role outdoors by feeding on insects, but that doesn’t mean you want them building webs around your doors, porches, garages, or inside your home or business.
At Guardian Pest Solutions, we help reduce spider activity by treating the areas where spiders live while also addressing the insects that attract them in the first place.
Common Spiders Around Your Home
House Spiders
House spiders are among the most common spiders found indoors. They often build webs in corners, garages, crawlspaces, storage areas, and around windows.
Although generally harmless, their webs can quickly become unsightly.
Orb Weavers
Orb weavers build the large circular webs often seen around porches, shrubs, fences, and outdoor lighting.
They are beneficial predators outdoors but can become a nuisance when their webs repeatedly appear around entryways. The Golden Silk Orb Weaver below was photographed on a job in the coastal Georgia area — one of the more striking spiders our customers encounter.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders do not build webs to catch prey. Instead, they actively hunt insects and may occasionally wander indoors while searching for food.
Their large size often causes alarm, but they are generally not aggressive.
Black Widow Spiders
Black widow spiders are venomous and should be avoided.
They typically prefer dark, undisturbed areas such as crawlspaces, sheds, garages, wood piles, utility boxes, and storage areas.
If black widow activity is discovered, prompt professional treatment is recommended.
Why Are Spiders Around My Home?
Spiders follow their food.
If your property supports large numbers of flying or crawling insects, spiders are more likely to establish themselves nearby.
Other factors that attract spiders include:
- Outdoor lighting that attracts insects
- Dense vegetation
- Wood piles
- Cluttered storage areas
- Crawlspaces
- Garages
- Undisturbed corners
Reducing insect activity often helps reduce spider activity as well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are all spiders dangerous?
No. Most spiders found around homes in Brunswick, Georgia are harmless and actually help reduce insect populations outdoors. However, venomous species such as the black widow should be treated with caution.
Why do spider webs keep coming back?
Spiders build webs where food is available. If insect activity continues around the home, new spiders may eventually return and rebuild webs.
Does spider treatment include web removal?
Yes. Removing existing webs and egg sacs is an important part of reducing spider activity while improving the appearance of your home.
Will one treatment eliminate every spider?
No pest control service can guarantee permanent elimination. Our goal is to significantly reduce spider activity and help prevent future infestations through ongoing management.
