City Wide Pest Control has been the leading spider exterminator in Phoenix and Maricopa County for over 40 years.
When you need spider control in Phoenix, it's usually because Arizona's 30+ spider species have found their way into your Valley home. Most are harmless, but black widows and brown recluses are medically significant, and finding them in your garage, closet, or child's bedroom is a legitimate safety concern. Spiders follow their prey, so a spider problem in your home usually means you have an underlying insect problem as well.

While most Arizona spiders are not dangerous, two species demand attention. Black widows are found throughout Maricopa County, in garages, meter boxes, block wall gaps, and under outdoor furniture. Their venom is a neurotoxin that causes pain, muscle cramps, and in severe cases requires medical treatment. Children, elderly adults, and pets are most at risk.
Brown recluse spiders, while less common in Arizona than in the Midwest, are present in parts of the Valley. Their bite causes tissue necrosis that can result in slow-healing wounds. Beyond medically significant species, heavy spider populations around your home indicate an underlying pest problem, spiders are predators, and they congregate where prey insects are abundant.

Shiny black with a red hourglass marking on the underside. Female body is about 1/2 inch. Builds messy, irregular webs in garages, meter boxes, block wall caps, under furniture, and in dark corners. Nocturnal and non-aggressive but will bite when disturbed or trapped against skin.
Light to medium brown with a dark violin-shaped marking on the cephalothorax. About 1/4 to 1/2 inch body. Six eyes arranged in three pairs (most spiders have eight). Found in undisturbed areas, boxes, closets, stored clothing, and rarely used rooms.
A native relative of the brown recluse, similar in appearance and behavior. Light brown, about 1/3 inch body. Found in desert environments and occasionally enters homes. More common in Arizona than the true brown recluse.
Large, hairy, brown to gray, up to 1.5 inches body length. Ground-dwelling hunter that does not build webs. Fast-moving and often spotted running across floors and patios at night. Intimidating but not dangerous.

Reduce exterior lighting that attracts prey insects, switch to yellow or amber bulbs
Clear webs regularly from eaves, porches, and garage areas to discourage rebuilding
Seal gaps around doors, windows, plumbing penetrations, and the foundation
Keep garages and storage areas organized and clutter-free
Shake out shoes, clothing, and gloves that have been stored or left on the floor
Move firewood, landscaping rock, and debris away from the foundation

Yes, black widow control in Phoenix is essential. Western black widows are found throughout Maricopa County. They prefer dark, undisturbed spaces, garages, meter boxes, block wall gaps, and under outdoor furniture are the most common locations. Monthly pest control service reduces black widow populations by eliminating both the spiders and their prey insects.
The brown recluse in Phoenix is uncommon compared to the Midwest, but the closely related Arizona brown spider is present. Both species have necrotic venom that causes tissue damage at the bite site. If you suspect a brown recluse bite, seek medical attention and try to capture or photograph the spider for identification.
Over-the-counter sprays kill spiders on contact but do not prevent new ones from arriving. Spiders follow prey insects, if the food source is present, new spiders will move in. Professional treatment combines direct spider control with prey insect reduction for lasting results.
A typical monthly service visit that includes spider control takes 20-40 minutes. Web removal and perimeter treatment are included in every visit. Significant spider problems may require additional attention during the first few visits.
Yes. Treatments are applied to perimeter areas, harborage sites, and exterior surfaces, not to open areas where pets play. We use kid friendly, pet friendly products and follow Integrated Pest Management principles.
