Spider control means removing webs and egg sacs, treating the areas where spiders hide and nest, and reducing the insects they feed on. Treatment is most effective when paired with sealing gaps and managing outdoor lighting, which attracts prey.
Spiders show up where food, shelter and quiet corners meet: garages, eaves, lanais, sheds and outdoor furniture. When you call Fort Lauderdale Pest Control, we offer spider service in Fort Lauderdale, and the same call process applies as for any pest control service in Fort Lauderdale.
Because spiders follow their prey, a lasting fix usually involves the other insects around your property as well as the spiders you see.
Spiders commonly found around Florida homes
- Widow spiders (southern black widow, brown widow): shy but medically significant; they nest in cluttered garages, meter boxes, under outdoor furniture and in dark corners.
- Orb-weavers: build large round webs between trees, eaves and railings, especially in warm months.
- Wolf and jumping spiders: hunt without webs and are commonly seen on floors and walls.
- Cellar and house spiders: tangled webs in corners, ceilings and storage areas.
Many suspected “dangerous” spiders turn out to be harmless species. A photo or an inspection by our team can confirm what you have.
What spider treatment typically involves
- Inspection: eaves, soffits, garage, lanai, sheds, fences and window frames.
- Web and egg-sac removal: physically removing them, since many products do not affect egg sacs.
- Targeted treatment: applied to harborage areas, entry points and surfaces where spiders travel.
- Prey reduction: addressing ants, roaches, flies and other insects. See ant control and cockroach control.
- Prevention advice: sealing gaps, reducing clutter and changing lighting.
When should you worry?
Seek medical attention for a suspected widow bite, especially for children or older adults, and keep the spider if it is safe to do so. Wear gloves when working in garages, sheds or woodpiles, and shake out shoes and outdoor cushions. If you see widow spiders or egg sacs, call us rather than handling them yourself.
How much does spider control cost in Fort Lauderdale?
Prices typically depend on property size, how many areas need treatment, the species involved and whether treatment is one-time or part of a recurring plan. Ask for a written scope and whether web removal is included.

Frequently asked questions
Are spiders in my Florida home dangerous?
Most are not, but southern black widows and brown widows can bite and require medical attention. We can identify what you have.
Why do I keep getting spiders even after cleaning?
Spiders follow food. Insects drawn to lights and moisture bring them in, and webs return quickly unless the cause is addressed.
Do spider sprays work?
They kill spiders they contact but may not stop new ones arriving. Web removal, sealing and insect control work together for lasting results.
Will outdoor lights attract spiders?
Lights attract flying insects, which attract spiders. Using warm-toned bulbs and switching lights off when not needed can help.
