Spider Control in Alabama: Black Widow, Brown Recluse & More

Alabama is home to black widows and brown recluse — both medically significant. They thrive in garages, crawlspaces, storage areas, and woodpiles. But spraying webs treats the symptom, not the cause. EnviroCare reduces spider populations by eliminating the insects they feed on.

Dangerous Species

Black widows are shiny black with a red hourglass marking on the underside. Found in garages, under decks, and in woodpiles. Their venom causes painful muscle cramps and nausea — seek medical attention immediately after a bite.

Brown recluse are tan with a violin-shaped marking on the back. Found in undisturbed areas: closets, attics, stored boxes. Bites cause tissue death in some cases. See a doctor immediately if you suspect a bite.

Where They Hide

Garages, crawlspaces, attics, woodpiles, outdoor storage buildings, and under decks. Multiple webs in corners, seeing spiders during the day, and finding egg sacs are warning signs of a significant population.

How We Treat

Spider control starts with reducing their food supply. Our perimeter barrier treatment knocks down the insects spiders eat. We also treat garages, crawlspaces, and attics with web removal to disrupt breeding. For brown recluse, we use sticky traps and targeted dust in wall voids where they travel.

Common Questions

Will killing the spiders I see fix the problem?

No. If the insect food supply remains, new spiders will move in. Our approach reduces the overall insect population so spiders have no reason to stay.

Are brown recluse common in Alabama?

Yes — more common than most people realize. Well established throughout the state, especially in undisturbed areas like attics, closets, and storage boxes.

Spider control is included in our bi-monthly plan — 30+ pests, starting at $35/month. Call today:
