Overview Why choose Forterra for spiders
Spiders are in your house because something they eat is in your house, so killing the spiders and leaving the supply buys a clear two weeks and then a return. The web count is really a reading of the insect population. Forterra reduces what the spiders are feeding on and seals the entry points with the Zero Gap System™, copper mesh and silicone.

"Excellent service. I am very pleased with the job , I have not seen one bug or spider. I had quite a few inactive wasps nest, knocked them all down and cleaned up the nest so my dogs did get into them."

★★★★★
"Miles, from Forterra, did our quarterly Pest Control today. I was very impressed. He did a very thorough job inside and outside my home. He even got rid of spider webs and wasp nests and things that were hanging outside on my house, that I hadn't even seen before. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Forterra pest control."

Know what you're seeing
Signs spiders have settled in, not just wandered in.
A single spider is a visitor. These four patterns mean your home is producing enough insect prey to support a resident population.
01
Webs in low corners
Tangled, messy webs close to the floor, in garage corners, water meter boxes and under patio furniture, are widow territory. Orderly webs up high are harmless orb weavers. Where the web sits tells you who built it.
Look here Garages · meter boxes · patio furniture
02
Egg sacs
A papery cream or tan sphere tucked into a web or corner can hold hundreds of eggs. One overlooked sac is how a spider sighting becomes a spider problem a month later.
Look here Web corners · eaves · window frames
03
Plenty of insect prey
Spiders settle where the hunting is good. If crickets, flies or roaches are getting in, spiders follow them in. A spider population is usually a symptom of a wider insect problem.
Look here Around exterior lights · weep holes · door gaps
04
Spiders in storage and closets
Recluses favor exactly what the name says, undisturbed boxes, stored clothes and closet clutter. Most bites happen when someone reaches into storage that has sat untouched for months.
Look here Closets · attics · garage boxes

Know your spiders
Two DFW spiders are actually dangerous.
Most Texas spiders are harmless insect hunters. Identification matters because two locals are not, and both like the quiet corners of your home.
DANGEROUS Black widow
1 1/2 in with legs
- Behavior
- Glossy black with the red hourglass underneath. Builds strong, messy webs in low, sheltered spots like garages, meter boxes, grills and under outdoor furniture. Shy, but defends the web.
- What makes them tricky
- Widow venom is a neurotoxin; a bite is a medical event. She rarely leaves her web, so control means finding and removing every web site, not spot-spraying.
- How we approach them
-
- Every web site found and physically removed
- Targeted treatment in low, sheltered corners
- Meter boxes and grills checked each visit
DANGEROUS Brown recluse
1/4 to 3/4 in
- Behavior
- Uniform tan-brown with a violin shape behind the head and six eyes rather than eight. Hunts at night and hides by day in storage boxes, stored clothing and undisturbed closets.
- What makes them tricky
- Recluse bites can kill tissue and heal slowly. They avoid webs and open space, so treatment goes at harborage, cracks, voids and cluttered storage.
- How we approach them
-
- Crack-and-crevice work in closets and storage
- Glue monitors to confirm the cleanout
- Sealed-bin storage guidance for keepsakes
HARMLESS Wolf spider
1 to 2 in
- Behavior
- The big, fast, hairy spider that darts across the floor and makes people call us. Chases prey on foot instead of building webs, and wanders indoors hunting insects.
- What makes them tricky
- It looks alarming but is not medically significant. A wolf spider indoors is really a sign of insect prey indoors, which is the thing worth treating.
- How we approach them
-
- Prey-insect control removes the food draw
- Door sweeps close the ground-level routes
- No panic treatment, ID first, always
Why we treat the food source
Control the insects, the spiders follow.
Spiders are in your house because their food is. Treat the spider and you get a week of relief; treat the hunting grounds and they stop showing up.
Stage 01
01
Starve them
No prey insects, no reason for spiders to stay.
Spiders live where they can hunt. The quarterly residential pest treatment removes the crickets, flies and roaches they feed on, which is the only spider control that lasts.
Stage 02
02
Clear webs
Every web and egg sac comes down on every visit.
Every service includes sweeping webs and egg sacs from eaves, corners and covered areas. Each removed sac is hundreds of spiders that never hatch, and a rebuilt web tells the technician exactly where to treat.
Stage 03
03
Treat corners
Widow and recluse harborage gets targeted, not surface-sprayed.
Targeted treatment goes into the low, dark places widows and recluses actually use, weep holes, garage corners, storage areas and voids, backed by Zero Gap exclusion at the entry points.
Ready when you are. Real prices online in about 60 seconds, phones answered 24/7.
Your structure, up close
The web line around your house, point by point.
Spiders build where structure meets shelter and the porch light delivers dinner. The de-web pass follows this exact route every visit.
Side elevation. Numbers match the list.
- 01
Eaves and soffits
The de-web pass starts here, where orb weavers rebuild on the overhang nightly in season.
- 02
Porch light
This is the buffet. Light draws prey insects, and spiders anchor webs around the glow.
- 03
Window frames
Corner webs and egg sacs tuck into frame joints; swept and treated each visit.
- 04
Weep holes and brick base
Widow territory, low, dark and sheltered. The brick line gets the targeted treatment.
- 05
Deck rails and undersides
Web anchors under rails hold widows at hand height; checked on every pass.
- 06
Gable vent
Attic access for cobweb spiders; screening keeps the void from becoming a colony.
The spider visit
Forterra's spider process, step by step.
From quote to quiet corners in four steps, with identification doing the heavy lifting early so the treatment fits the spider you actually have.
- 01
Transparent quote
The price is public. Run the online quote in about a minute or take two on the phone. What you see is what the spider service costs, written down before any visit lands on the calendar.
- 02
First-visit inspection
Visit one covers the garage, eaves, weep holes, storage and yard. Species matters here, since a widow corner and a recluse closet call for different handling, so identification comes before treatment.
- 03
De-web, treat, repeat
Webs and egg sacs come down, harborage areas get treated, entry gaps get closed, and the prey insects that attracted the spiders get handled in the same visit.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Webs rebuilt or spiders spotted again means a free return visit. The money-back guarantee sits under the whole plan, and recurring service is what keeps it rarely needed.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Two, the black widow and the brown recluse. A widow bite is a neurotoxin event with severe pain and illness; a recluse bite can kill tissue around the wound. Both warrant medical attention. Everything else you are likely to meet here, wolf spiders included, is essentially harmless to people.
Look for three things. A uniform tan-brown body with no stripes or patterns, a dark violin shape on the back just behind the head, and size under an inch. Recluses also hide in undisturbed storage rather than sitting in webs. If you find one in a closet or box, assume there are more and have it inspected.
Yes. De-webbing of eaves and covered areas happens on every quarterly visit, egg sacs included. When an inspection turns up a widow or recluse harborage, that spot gets targeted treatment under the same plan, no add-on charge.
Spider work comes standard with quarterly service, from $49 a month, and every visit includes de-webbing. No infestation surcharges exist on this page. The number quoted online or by phone is the number billed.
It helps more than people expect, because a spider that has to rebuild repeatedly in the same spot usually relocates. What it will not do on its own is address why the spot was attractive, which is almost always the insects arriving at a light nearby. Removing the food supply is what makes the relocation permanent. A light left on by a door undoes an evening of clearing.
By the violin shape behind the head and by the eyes, which sit in three pairs rather than the usual eight in two rows. Most of what gets identified as a recluse in this part of Texas turns out to be a harmless cellar or wolf spider, and photographing it before acting is worth the ten seconds. Most identifications made from memory turn out to be wrong.
Because males mature and begin wandering to find females at the same time the weather pushes them toward shelter. The population outdoors has been building all summer without anybody noticing, and autumn simply makes it visible indoors. That timing is why the treatments that matter most go in before the shift rather than after it. Autumn makes an existing population visible rather than creating a new one.
