SPIDER PEST CONTROL
DANGER SIGNS
Although they are beneficial creatures in terms of controlling insect populations, most people don’t like spiders in their home. Most don’t present a danger to humans; however, there are two species of venomous spiders found in Michigan: the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow. When these species are spotted in your home, you should immediately call on a professional to safely remove them.
Buckmaster Pest Control has the needed industry knowledge and experience to eliminate spiders in your home, address points of entry, and deliver treatment that prevents future visits from our eight-legged friends.
