Residential Spider Control for Tempe Homes

If you are looking for spider control in Tempe, chances are a spider has turned up somewhere it should not be, like the garage, a hall closet, or a child’s bedroom. Arizona has more than 30 spider species, and most are harmless. Two groups deserve real respect: black widows and the recluse species. Spiders go where their food goes, so a steady spider presence often points to other insects living around your home too.
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, family owned since 1986, and based in Phoenix. If you want a spider exterminator in Tempe, our licensed technicians treat visible spiders and the insects drawing them in. Residential service never requires a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Which Spiders Matter Most

Most spiders in Arizona are not a worry, but black widows are the exception. They settle into garages, utility boxes, gaps in block walls, and the undersides of patio furniture. Their bite can bring pain and muscle cramps, and some cases need medical care. Young children, older adults, and pets are the most vulnerable, which is why black widow control in Tempe is a priority for us.
Arizona is home to native recluse spiders, the desert recluse and the Arizona brown spider, and both turn up in parts of the Valley. The true brown recluse found in the Midwest does not live here. A recluse bite can damage skin tissue and leave a wound that heals slowly. Beyond those two, a large number of spiders around your house is a useful clue. Spiders are hunters, and they gather wherever insects are plentiful.

Spiders Around Tempe's Lake, Preserves, and Homes

Tempe pairs open desert with water. Town Lake is a more than 2-mile lake made by damming part of the dry Salt River, running from west of McClintock Road to east of Priest Road between Rio Salado Parkway and Curry Road. Papago Preserve covers about 227 acres, and Tempe (Hayden) Butte Preserve covers about 27 acres. Whether your home is close to the shoreline, a preserve, or a quiet street near ASU, spiders can settle into the same garages, patios, and wall gaps.
Single-family detached homes make up about 36 percent of Tempe’s housing units (32,688 of 91,442), so plenty of households have their own garage, patio, and block walls to keep an eye on. Tempe’s pest guide suggests 20-mesh window screens, quarter-inch wire mesh over attic and roof vents, and airtight food storage to avoid attracting ants. Those habits pair well with a treatment plan fitted to your property.

  • Our Method

How We Treat Spiders

Step 1
Inspection
A licensed technician first identifies which spiders are present, finds their webs and hiding spots, and checks which insects are drawing them in.
Step 2
Web and Egg Sac Removal
We sweep away old webs and egg sacs from rooflines, patios, garage corners, walls, and other outdoor surfaces.
Step 3
Targeted Treatment
We treat around the foundation, eaves, window and door frames, and known hiding areas, then apply targeted treatment where black widows or other spiders settle.
Step 4
Prey Insect Reduction
Lasting spider pest control in Tempe also means thinning the flies, beetles, ants, and crickets that feed spiders.
Step 5
Monthly Maintenance
Monthly service keeps your barrier fresh, clears new webs, and holds insect numbers down. Your 21-day warranty covers the time between visits.
  • Know Your Pest

Spiders You Might Find Around Tempe Homes

Western Black Widow
Latrodectus hesperus
  • High Risk
Glossy black with a red hourglass on its underside. Females measure about 1/2 inch. Their untidy, tangled webs show up in garages, utility boxes, block wall caps, furniture undersides, and dark corners. Active at night and not aggressive, though they bite if pressed against skin.

Desert Recluse
Loxosceles deserta
  • Moderate Risk
Tan to medium brown, with a dark violin shape on the front body section. Body length runs roughly 1/4 to 1/2 inch, and it has six eyes in three pairs instead of the usual eight. A Sonoran Desert native, it hides under rocks and debris outdoors, and indoors it favors cardboard boxes, closet corners, packed-away clothes, and spare rooms nobody visits.

Loxosceles arizonica
  • Moderate Risk
A desert-dwelling cousin of the brown recluse that looks and acts much the same. It is light brown with a body near 1/3 inch, and it sometimes wanders into homes. The true brown recluse has not become established in Arizona.

Wolf Spider
Hogna spp.
  • Low Risk
Big, hairy, and brown to gray, with a body up to 1.5 inches long. This ground hunter spins no webs and moves fast, often dashing across a patio or floor at night. It looks imposing but is not dangerous.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat single-family homes in Tempe?
Yes. Single-family detached homes make up about 36 percent of Tempe’s housing units (32,688 of 91,442), and homes with their own garages, patios, and yards are well suited to a perimeter spider treatment. Call (602) 944-0099 to book, and ask about same-day service, available Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
Town Lake is a more than 2-mile lake created by damming part of the dry Salt River, and homes near it get the same approach as any other property: an inspection, a perimeter treatment, and web removal. We also suggest yellow or amber outdoor bulbs and moving landscaping rock away from your walls. Call (602) 944-0099 to book.
The City of Tempe provides flood irrigation to 17 city parks and about 850 residential customers. If your yard is irrigated, damp landscaping near the house can attract insects, and spiders follow them. We check plantings, lighting, and rock along your walls, then treat the perimeter and any spider hiding spots.
Yes. City Wide Pest Control treats porches, patios, eaves, and entryways, clearing webs and egg sacs and applying a perimeter treatment where spiders settle. Because porch lights draw insects, we also help cut down the food that keeps spiders coming back. Kid and pet friendly treatment options are available.
Yes. Our service starts with a look at your property. A licensed technician identifies which spiders are present, finds webs and hiding spots, and checks for the insects drawing them in.
