Physical web removal combined with habitat modification reduces populations. Diatomaceous earth in cracks and entry points. Essential oil sprays with peppermint and eucalyptus deter spiders naturally. Sticky traps monitor activity. We address prey insect populations. For Burke's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are spiders in my home dangerous?
Most spiders in Vermont and New Hampshire are harmless and actually beneficial, eating other pests. The northern black widow is rare but present. If you're unsure about a spider, avoid handling it and contact us for identification.
Why do I have so many spiders?
Spider populations indicate abundant prey insects. Reducing other pest populations naturally decreases spiders. Cluttered, undisturbed areas provide ideal habitat. Exterior lighting attracts insects which in turn attract spiders hunting near your home.
Can you treat spiders in Burke's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Burke properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
