Who We Are

Why Professional Spider Treatment is Your Best Solution

Attempting DIY spider control often only offers a temporary fix. Off-the-shelf sprays rarely reach spiders in their hiding spots and don't address the root of the infestation. For comprehensive spider control that works, you need professional expertise. Our team uses professional-grade insecticides and application techniques that are far more effective and longer-lasting than anything you’ll find in a shop. We tackle the problem thoroughly, targeting adult spiders, egg sacs, and potential entry points to ensure a robust solution. You're investing in peace of mind.

Our Proven Process for Eradicating Spiders

At Moorlander Pest Control, our approach to spider control is meticulous and tailored. It begins with a thorough site survey of your property in Devon, identifying key areas of spider activity and potential ingress points. Following this, our RSPH-trained technicians will apply a targeted residual insecticide to surfaces where spiders are likely to walk, rest, or build webs. This leaves an active residue that continues to work over time, breaking their lifecycle. We always provide clear advice on any preparatory work required and aftercare to ensure the treatment's maximum effectiveness.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Spider Control Questions

Answers to common questions about our Spider Control

How Can I Identify Common Household Spiders in Devon and Cornwall?

Here in Devon and Cornwall, you're likely to encounter a few common spider species. The Giant House Spider (Tegenaria gigantea) is a frequent visitor, known for its speed and impressive size. You might also spot smaller, darker Common House Spiders. The False Widow Spider (Steatoda nobilis) has gained notoriety, and while its bite can be painful (similar to a bee sting), it's rarely dangerous to humans. Money Spiders (Linyphiidae) are tiny, often found in baths or sinks. If you're unsure about identifying a spider or are concerned about a specific species, it's always best to call in the professionals. Our RSPH-qualified team can accurately identify the pests causing you trouble.

When Is Professional Spider Control the Best Solution?

If you're seeing a large number of spiders, particularly in areas like your loft, cellar, or garage, or if you're frequently finding them indoors, it might be time to consider professional help. While DIY sprays can offer a temporary fix, they often don't address the root of the problem. If you're dealing with a persistent infestation, or if you have a phobia that significantly impacts your daily life, our expert pest control service provides a far more effective and long-lasting solution. We have 20 years of experience tackling all sorts of pest challenges.

What Does Moorlander Pest Control's Spider Treatment Involve?

Our comprehensive spider control starts with a thorough site survey of your property. Our skilled technicians will identify spider harbourage points, entry routes, and the species present. We then use professional-grade insecticides, which are far more effective and targeted than anything available off-the-shelf. These treatments create a residual barrier that helps eliminate spiders and deters new ones. We’ll apply treatments safely to cracks, crevices, and other areas where spiders hide, always prioritising the safety of your family, pets, and the environment. We also provide practical advice on how to proof your home to prevent future infestations.

Is Spider Treatment Safe for My Family and Pets?

Your safety is our top priority. As BPCA affiliated members and RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians, we use professional products and methods that are approved for use in residential and commercial settings. We will always discuss the treatment plan with you beforehand, explaining any necessary precautions. After treatment, we provide clear guidance on re-entry times and how to maintain a safe environment for everyone, including children and pets. Our commitment to responsible pest management means we always apply treatments with the utmost care and precision.

How Can I Help Prevent Spiders from Entering My Property?

There are several simple steps you can take to make your home or business less appealing to spiders. Sealing cracks and crevices around windows, doors, and foundations can block their entry points. Regularly vacuuming and dusting, especially in corners, under furniture, and in less-used areas like lofts and basements, helps remove webs and spider eggs. Reducing outdoor lighting near your property, or switching to yellow 'bug lights', can also help, as these attract fewer insects which are a food source for spiders. We can offer further advice on proofing and ongoing prevention during our visit.

Do You Offer Spider Control for Businesses as Well as Homes?

Absolutely. Spiders can be a significant issue for businesses, particularly those in hospitality, food service, or retail, as they can deter customers and impact hygiene standards. Moorlander Pest Control provides tailored spider management solutions for all types of commercial properties across Devon and Cornwall. Whether you run a hotel in Torquay, a shop in St Austell, or an office in Plymouth, our discreet and efficient service ensures your business environment remains professional and welcoming.
