Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what species you’re dealing with. Our state-certified technicians identify every spider we find, so you understand the real risks and get the right treatment for your specific situation.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Zephyrhills West families from dangerous spiders for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not some call center.
You get our personal cell phone number. Call us at 2 AM about a black widow in your bedroom, and we’ll answer. That’s the difference between us and the big companies that treat you like a number.
Our state certifications in pest control mean you’re getting real expertise, not guesswork. We know the difference between a harmless wolf spider and a dangerous brown recluse because we’ve been studying Florida’s spider species for decades. Over 100 five-star Google reviews prove we deliver what we promise.
First, we identify every spider species in and around your home. You’ll know if you’re dealing with dangerous black widows or harmless house spiders before we start treatment.
Next, we target their food sources. Spiders follow insects, so we eliminate the ants, flies, and roaches that attract them in the first place. No food means no spiders.
Then we remove all existing webs using professional webster brushes and treat the areas where spiders hide—corners, crevices, and dark spaces they love. We identify entry points around windows, doors, and vents so new spiders can’t get in.
Finally, we set up ongoing protection. Florida’s warm climate means spiders are active year-round, so you get regular treatments that keep them out permanently. You’ll see results within 24 hours, and we guarantee they stay gone.
Ready to get started?
You get comprehensive spider control that covers every inch of your property. We treat indoor hiding spots like attics, basements, and closets where spiders build webs and reproduce.
Outside, we focus on the areas that matter most in Zephyrhills West’s humid climate. Your garage, shed, and outdoor furniture get special attention because that’s where dangerous species like black widows prefer to nest.
We also handle the spider species that worry Zephyrhills West homeowners most. Wolf spiders that don’t spin webs but hunt aggressively. Brown recluses with their violin-shaped markings and tissue-damaging bites. Southern black widows with red hourglass markings and potent venom.
Every service includes web removal, crack and crevice treatment, and entry point identifying. You get military discounts, new homeowner specials, and most quotes over the phone. No surprises, no hidden fees—just honest spider control that works.
Most large spiders you see in Zephyrhills West homes are wolf spiders, which look scary but aren’t dangerous to humans. They’re actually beneficial because they hunt other pests.
However, size isn’t always the indicator of danger. The most venomous spiders in our area—black widows and brown recluses—are actually medium-sized. Black widows have shiny black bodies with red hourglass markings underneath. Brown recluses are light brown with violin-shaped markings on their backs.
If you’re seeing large, hairy spiders running across your floors, those are likely wolf spiders. But if you find any spider in dark, undisturbed areas like your garage or storage rooms, call us for proper identification. We’ll tell you exactly what you’re dealing with and whether it poses a real threat to your family.
Spiders love garages because they offer dark hiding spots, easy access from outside, and plenty of insects to hunt. The key is eliminating what attracts them in the first place.
Start by removing their food sources. Seal cracks where ants and other insects enter, and keep your garage clean of crumbs or spilled liquids that attract prey insects. Install door sweeps and identify gaps around windows and vents.
Remove clutter where spiders hide—old boxes, unused equipment, and piles of materials create perfect nesting spots. Keep storage items in identifyed plastic containers instead of cardboard boxes.
Most importantly, get professional treatment for the areas you can’t reach. We treat wall voids, ceiling corners, and the spaces behind stored items where spiders actually live and breed. DIY sprays only kill the spiders you can see—we eliminate the ones hiding where you’ll never find them.
Our spider de-webbing service goes far beyond just knocking down visible webs. We use specialized webster brushes to remove webs from every exterior surface—under eaves, around windows, in corners, and along rooflines.
Inside, we target the areas where spiders actually build their nests. Attic corners, basement crevices, closet corners, and behind furniture where webs accumulate over time. We don’t just remove existing webs—we treat these areas to prevent new ones from forming.
The service includes crack and crevice treatment where spiders hide during the day, entry point identifying to stop new spiders from getting in, and ongoing monitoring to catch problems before they become infestations.
You also get identification of any dangerous species we find, so you know if you’re dealing with harmless house spiders or venomous black widows. Most clients see immediate results, and our treatments keep working for months to prevent new spider activity.
We respond to venomous spider emergencies within 24 hours, often the same day. When you call about a black widow or brown recluse, you’re talking directly to the owner—not a call center that doesn’t understand the urgency.
If you find a spider with a red hourglass marking or a brown spider with a violin-shaped mark on its back, don’t try to handle it yourself. Take a photo if possible, but keep your distance and call us immediately.
We carry the specialized equipment needed to safely remove dangerous spiders and their egg sacs. More importantly, we know where to look for others. Venomous spiders rarely travel alone, and finding one usually means there are more hiding nearby.
Our emergency response includes immediate removal of the dangerous spider, thorough inspection for others, and same-day treatment of likely hiding spots. You get peace of mind knowing your family is protected, and we’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
September is spider mating season in Florida, which means you’ll see more spider activity as males search for mates. They become more active and venture into areas where you normally wouldn’t see them.
The weather also plays a role. As temperatures start to cool slightly, outdoor spiders begin looking for warm places to spend the winter. Your home offers the perfect shelter, and they’ll find every crack and gap to get inside.
September also coincides with increased activity from the insects that spiders hunt. Ants, flies, and other prey insects are preparing for winter too, which attracts spiders that follow their food sources.
This seasonal spike is normal, but it’s also the perfect time to get professional treatment. We can eliminate the spiders before they establish winter hiding spots in your home, and prevent the egg sacs they lay from hatching into next year’s spider population. Treating in September saves you from dealing with much bigger problems in the spring.
Brown recluse spiders have venom that causes tissue death around bite sites, creating wounds that can take months to heal and may require surgery. While they’re not as common in Florida as black widows, they do exist here and pose serious health risks.
The real danger is that brown recluse bites often go unnoticed initially. You might feel a small pinch, but the serious symptoms—tissue breakdown, spreading ulceration, and systemic illness—develop over hours or days.
These spiders prefer dark, undisturbed areas like closets, attics, and storage rooms. They’re not aggressive, but they will bite if trapped against your skin when you’re reaching into boxes or putting on clothes that have been stored.
Professional identification is crucial because several harmless spiders look similar to brown recluses. We know the exact identifying features—the violin-shaped marking, six eyes instead of eight, and smooth body texture. If we find brown recluses in your home, we’ll eliminate them completely and show you how to spider-proof the areas where they’re most likely to hide.
