Gilbert Spider Control That Keeps Webs Off Your Walls and Eaves

With over 40 years of service, we are the spider exterminator in Gilbert that homeowners call.

Residential Spider Control for Gilbert Homes

When you need spider control in Gilbert, it is usually because one of Arizona’s many native species has settled into your garage, closet, or kids’ room. Most spiders here are harmless, but black widows and desert recluses deserve respect, and we treat them seriously. Spiders go where the food is, so a spider problem inside a home often points to a bug problem too.
Based in Phoenix and family owned since 1986, City Wide Pest Control delivers spider pest control in Gilbert that targets both the visible spiders and the insects drawing them in. We are locally owned and operated, and residential service never requires a contract.

Why Spiders Deserve Attention

Most spiders in Arizona are harmless, yet two kinds call for care. Black widows live across Maricopa County, often in garages, meter boxes, gaps in block walls, and beneath patio furniture. The venom affects the nervous system, causing pain and muscle cramps, and some bites call for medical care. Young children, older adults, and pets are the most vulnerable.
Two native recluses, the desert recluse and the Arizona brown spider, live in parts of the Valley. The Midwestern brown recluse does not occur here. A recluse bite can damage tissue and heal slowly. A busy spider population also tells us something else: spiders hunt, so they gather wherever insects are plentiful, and that is the problem we aim to solve.

Spiders and Gilbert's Yards, Canals, and Gardens

About 82.5 percent of Gilbert housing units are single-family detached homes (86,057 of 104,289), so most properties have their own yard, perimeter, and block wall line to treat. That suits spider work well, since webs and black widow sites tend to gather along eaves, garage corners, and wall caps.
Gilbert grew as a farming community after the Roosevelt Dam and the Eastern and Consolidated Canals were built in 1911, and some neighborhoods in town still receive SRP flood irrigation. The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch covers 110 acres and includes pollinator gardens, among them a hummingbird garden and a butterfly garden. Wherever water and flowering plants draw insects, spiders tend to follow, so we look at the whole yard and not only the walls.

How We Handle Spiders

Step 1
Inspection
A licensed technician inspects your property to identify the spider species, find webs and hiding spots, and gauge the insects feeding them.
Step 2
Web and Egg Sac Removal
Webs and egg sacs come down from your eaves, patio covers, garage corners, and block wall lines.
Step 3
Targeted Treatment
We treat the foundation, eaves, window and door frames, and likely hiding spots around the perimeter, with focused black widow control in Gilbert wherever those spiders have set up.
Step 4
Prey Insect Reduction
Spiders trail their food, so cutting back crickets, ants, beetles, and flies is key to keeping them away for good.
Step 5
Monthly Maintenance
Monthly service keeps the protective barrier fresh, clears new webs, and holds insect numbers down, backed by a 21-day warranty between visits.

Spiders You Might See in Gilbert

Western Black Widow
Latrodectus hesperus
Glossy black with a red hourglass on its underside, and the female’s body measures roughly 1/2 inch. Her tangled, irregular webs turn up in garages, meter boxes, wall caps, beneath furniture, and dark corners. Active at night and not aggressive, though she may bite if pressed against skin.
Close-up of a desert recluse spider on weathered wood
Desert Recluse
Loxosceles deserta
Tan to medium brown with a darker violin shape on the front body section. Body length is 1/4 to 1/2 inch. It has six eyes in three pairs, where most spiders have eight. A Sonoran Desert native, it hides under rocks and debris outdoors, and indoors it favors quiet spots such as seldom-opened boxes, closets, and stored clothes.
Close-up of an Arizona brown spider on a desert rock
Arizona Brown Spider
Loxosceles arizonica
A native cousin of the brown recluse with a similar look and habits. Light brown with a body near 1/3 inch. It lives in desert settings and now and then wanders indoors. The true brown recluse has not settled in Arizona.
Close-up of a wolf spider on desert ground
Wolf Spider
Hogna spp.
Large and hairy, brown to gray, with a body up to 1.5 inches. A ground hunter that spins no webs, it is quick and often seen dashing across floors and patios after dark. Startling to see, but not dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you treat porch spiders at my Gilbert home?
Yes. Porch spiders are a regular part of our residential visits. We clear webs and egg sacs from porch ceilings, eaves, and corners, then treat the surrounding exterior surfaces and the insects drawn to porch lights. Same-day service is available, and residential customers never sign a contract.
Yes. Every visit starts with an inspection. A licensed technician looks for the species present, web sites, and hiding spots, and checks which insects are feeding the activity. That tells us where to treat instead of guessing. Our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division.
City Wide Pest Control does. Garages are a common place for black widows and other spiders, so we check corners, shelving, meter boxes, and wall caps, remove webs and egg sacs, and treat the hiding areas. We hold Arizona license #2317, and same-day service is available.
Most Gilbert homes are single-family detached houses, about 82.5 percent of housing units, so there is usually a full yard, perimeter, and block wall line to cover. We treat the foundation, eaves, window and door frames, and wall lines, and we pay extra attention to garages and side yards where black widows like to settle.
Some Gilbert neighborhoods still receive SRP flood irrigation. Water and green landscaping can attract insects, and spiders hunt where insects gather, so we look at the whole property rather than only the walls. Reducing the insects is a key part of keeping spider numbers down.
No. Residential service never requires a contract. Ongoing monthly service includes web removal and a 21-day warranty between visits. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, at (602) 944-0099, and same-day service is available. Call any time during those hours to set up a visit.
