If you’re seeing more spiders in or around your home recently, you’re not alone. Spiders are a frequent visitor we deal with in Grand Rapids. While most species in Michigan are harmless, that doesn’t mean you want them settling in your basement, garage, or bathroom.
At Pest Pros of Michigan, our spider control services begin with a thorough pest inspection to determine the extent of the spider infestation. We don’t just provide spider removal—we also prevent it from returning. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden spider invasion or want to prevent one before it starts, we’ve got you covered.
From routine maintenance to one-time spider removal, we customize your spider treatment to fit your home and your comfort level. Interested in a spider-free home? Let’s talk about the best plan for keeping those eight-legged visitors outside where they belong.
Why Spiders Are a Problem Indoors
Creeping into your comfort zone
Even harmless spiders can disturb your comfort when they show up in places like bathrooms, closets, or ceilings. Their sudden appearance tends to startle, and no one enjoys brushing one off their arm.
Leaving messy webs behind
Spiders build webs wherever they find shelter and food—often in corners, basements, and around windows. These webs collect dust and debris, leaving your home looking unkempt and neglected.
Triggering fears and phobias
Arachnophobia is real, and for some people, seeing even one spider can cause stress or panic. Even a minor spider infestation can feel overwhelming for those with severe aversions.
Suggesting you might have other pests
Spiders feed on insects. So if you’re seeing more of them, it may mean you’ve also got ants, flies, or other pests inside your home. In that case, spider control is just the start of the solution.
How to Spot a Spider Infestation
Here are some key indicators:
Webs in every corner
One or two webs here and there might not seem harmless, but if you’re finding new ones constantly, especially in quiet corners, it could be a sign of a larger infestation.
Egg sacs along baseboards or ceilings
Spider egg sacs are small, round, and white, and they’re living in corners or cracks. Each sac can hatch hundreds of baby spiders, so making even one egg sac a reason to contact a spider exterminator quickly.
Sudden increase in spider sightings
Seeing a few spiders isn’t unusual in Michigan homes. But if you’re spotting multiple spiders daily, especially in the same areas, it is a sure sign that you need professional spider treatment.
Spiders showing up during the day
Spiders typically stay hidden and are more active at night. If they’re visible during the day, it might mean a larger hidden spider infestation in your home.

Testimonials
“Jason came out to provide a termite estimate. Due to his confidence, knowledge, and professionalism I hired him on the spot. About an hour later he had us set up to begin exterminating our termites with monitoring stations. I went with Pest Pros not because they offered the lowest cost estimate, but because of Jason.”
