When to Call for Spider Control & Extermination

Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders.  Even for people who are afraid of spiders, the presence of a spider population around your home might not cause you to want to call an exterminator.  Sometimes, you can easily get rid of webs and egg sacs and move spiders outside and that’s enough to keep their population at bay.   But, if the spider population continues to grow it might be time for further measures.
