Spider & Scorpion Control in Waco, TX

Where they hide

Garages, woodpiles, rock borders, closets, attics and the gaps under doors. Clutter gives them places to shelter.

Exterior treatment

A pest control company treats the foundation, eaves, windows and other entry points and removes webs, often as part of a regular plan.

Seal the house

Weatherstrip doors, seal gaps around pipes and wires, and repair window screens. Scorpions can slip through very narrow cracks.

Inside the house

Shake out shoes and clothes left in garages or closets, move beds slightly away from walls and keep bedding off the floor.

Reduce what they eat

Fewer insects around the house means fewer spiders and scorpions. Outdoor lights attract insects; yellow bulbs attract fewer.

If someone is stung or bitten

Seek medical advice if there's a severe reaction, especially for children or anyone with allergies.

Ongoing visits

Regular exterior treatments every couple of months work better than a single visit, because new pests keep arriving from outside.

Outbuildings

Sheds, barns and woodpiles shelter spiders and scorpions near the house. Ask whether the company treats outbuildings too.

Children's rooms

Keep toys off the floor at night and check shoes before children put them on in the morning.

Webs

Sweeping away webs regularly from eaves and corners discourages spiders from settling.
