What Are House Spiders?

House spiders live in and around houses and gardens throughout the Olympia area and feed mainly on other insects and earthworms. They have a brown, sometimes hairy appearance and vary in size by gender. This coloring can make them easy to confuse with the more dangerous brown recluse spider.

What Are Brown Recluse Spiders?

Although brown recluse spiders do not inhabit Washington state, our team is knowledgeable about their characteristics. In warmer climates, these spiders seek out unused areas such as old shoes, attics, and sheds. Bites from these spiders may cause illness, making them riskier than typical house spiders.

What Are Cellar Spiders?

Cellar spiders, also known as daddy-long-legs, do not pose any imminent threat to humans. They tend to settle on ceilings, in caves, garages, or cellars, and prey on small insects, spiders, and mosquitoes.

What Are Black Widow Spiders?

Black widow spiders are highly venomous spiders found mainly in the western United States. While rarely seen in Olympia or most parts of Washington, we can identify and treat any that appear in your space. Recognize them by the red hourglass mark on their body. Although many believe black widows are aggressive, they usually bite only if they mistake a finger for prey or are accidentally pinched or squeezed.

Brown widow spiders are sometimes confused with black widows. They have a yellowish-brown coloration and a reddish-orange hourglass marking, unlike the bright red seen on black widows. Their bite contains venom, but it poses less danger than a black widow bite. They typically avoid human contact and bite only when disturbed, injecting a smaller amount of venom.

If you find a spider that looks like a black or brown widow, contact the team at Pest Stop to help identify and resolve the situation.

What Are Hobo Spiders?

An adult hobo spider is relatively large, about the size of a silver dollar. This North American species is one of the few spiders in the region whose bites may have medical significance. Its venom can cause local pain, and most bites happen when the spider is accidentally trapped or pressed against the skin.

Protect Your Home from Spider Infestations

Spiders multiply quickly, especially in homes throughout Olympia, and can become a nuisance if unchecked. Our experienced spider exterminators at Pest Stop can help you find and remove spider infestations in your home. Our proven methods and targeted treatments help protect your home from spiders year-round.

As Olympia experiences frequent rain, spiders often move indoors for shelter during wet stretches. Regular inspections help prevent large infestations and catch any issues early. Homes near forests or water are more likely to experience recurring spider activity, but every Olympia resident benefits from routine checks, especially in areas like basements, crawl spaces, and attics. Our team adapts solutions to address seasonal and structural differences common to Thurston County, helping limit repeat infestations and keep homes safer for everyone.

Here are some benefits of working with a professional spider exterminator in Olympia:

• Prevention of spider bites
• Reduction of spider populations
• Protection of your family and pets
• Peace of mind knowing your home is spider-free

Don't let spiders take over your home. Contact us today to schedule a spider control service and keep your home safe and spider-free.
