Spider Control & Black Widow Removal in St. George
Expert Spider Extermination • Same-Day Service • No Contracts Required
Black widows and dangerous spiders are common in Southern Utah. Protect your family with professional spider control from licensed technicians.
The Spider Problem in Southern Utah
If you live in St. George, Hurricane, Cedar City, or anywhere in Southern Utah, you've seen the spiders. They're in your garage. Your storage shed. Your block wall. Sometimes inside your home. And if you're seeing black widows, you're dealing with one of the most venomous spiders in North America.
The problem with spiders in Southern Utah isn't just that they're creepy. It's that our desert climate creates perfect conditions for them. Warm temperatures year-round mean spiders don't go dormant in winter. Block construction—common in St. George and surrounding areas—provides countless hiding spots in wall voids. And the abundance of other insects gives spiders an endless food supply.
🕷️ Black Widows Are Everywhere
Black widow spiders thrive in Southern Utah. They hide in dark, undisturbed areas: garages, storage sheds, wood piles, block wall voids, outdoor furniture, and utility meters. They're most active spring through fall but remain a threat year-round. One female can produce multiple egg sacs, each containing 200-900 eggs.
🏠 They Love Block Walls
If your home has block construction (common in St. George), you have premium spider real estate. Block walls have voids that provide perfect hiding spots. Spiders build webs in these protected spaces and are nearly impossible to reach without professional treatment. This is why DIY spray rarely works on block homes.
How We Eliminate Spiders From Your Property
Spider control isn't just about killing the spiders you see. It's about eliminating their hiding spots, destroying egg sacs, and creating barriers that keep new spiders out. Here's our proven process:
1. Thorough Inspection
We identify spider hiding spots, locate egg sacs, and assess entry points. We check garages, sheds, eaves, block walls, utility areas, and outdoor structures. Knowing where spiders hide is critical to effective treatment.
2. Removal & Treatment
We remove visible webs and egg sacs, then apply professional-grade treatments to all spider harboring areas. We treat block wall voids, eaves, soffits, foundations, entry points, and outdoor structures. Products last up to 90 days.
3. Barrier Protection
We create a protective barrier around your home's perimeter and treat common spider entry points. This prevents new spiders from establishing on your property. Monthly service keeps populations suppressed long-term.

Not all spiders are dangerous, but some require immediate attention. Here are the spiders we commonly encounter in St. George and surrounding areas:
🖤 Black Widow Spiders
DANGER: HIGHBlack widows are shiny black with a distinctive red hourglass marking on their abdomen. Females are venomous and aggressive when protecting egg sacs. They hide in dark, undisturbed areas: garages, storage boxes, wood piles, block walls, outdoor furniture, and utility boxes.
Bite Symptoms: Severe muscle pain and cramping, nausea, difficulty breathing, elevated blood pressure, sweating. Seek immediate medical attention.
Treatment Priority: IMMEDIATE. Don't attempt DIY removal of black widow infestations.
🐺 Wolf Spiders
DANGER: LOWLarge, hairy, fast-moving spiders often mistaken for tarantulas. They don't build webs but hunt prey on the ground. Common in garages and around foundations. Bite is painful but not medically significant. They're more of a nuisance than a danger but their size frightens people.
🏃 Hobo Spiders
DANGER: MODERATEBrown spiders that build funnel webs in corners, basements, and storage areas. Previously thought to have dangerous bites, but research suggests they're less harmful than once believed. Still, bites can cause localized pain and swelling.
🕸️ Orb Weaver Spiders
DANGER: LOWBuild large, circular webs often found in gardens and between structures. Generally harmless but create unsightly webs and can be startling due to their size. Nuisance pest that requires regular treatment to control.
👴 Cellar Spiders (Daddy Long Legs)
DANGER: NONEThin-bodied with extremely long legs. Build messy webs in corners, basements, and garages. Completely harmless but create cosmetic issues with excessive webbing. Easy to control with regular treatment.
🦘 Jumping Spiders
DANGER: NONESmall spiders with large front eyes. Don't build webs but hunt prey by jumping on it. Generally found on exterior walls and windows. Harmless but startling. More of a nuisance than a threat.

What Our Customers Say
"Bug Blasters was responsive and a good value! I was renting a house that had a really bad Scorpion problem and I have 2 youngsters under age of 3. They fit me into their busy schedule the same day that I called and took care of the problem. They gave me reminders a week in advance and the 4 different guys that came were all professional and nice. Thankful for Bug Blasters for keeping my kids safe and helping us sleep better at night."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"We had black widows in our garage and storage shed. I'm terrified of spiders and have young kids, so I called Bug Blasters. They came same day, removed all the webs and egg sacs, and treated everything thoroughly. Been on monthly service for 4 months now and haven't seen a single black widow since. Worth every penny for peace of mind."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"Our block wall house in Green Valley was spider central. Tried everything from the store - nothing worked. Bug Blasters explained that block walls need professional treatment in the voids. They were right. Two treatments and our spider problem was 90% better. Now we do bi-monthly and rarely see any spiders."
Example Testimonial - Replace with real customer review:
"Professional, on-time, and actually got rid of our spiders. The technician took time to show me where spiders were hiding and explained the treatment process. No high-pressure sales, no contracts. Just good service that works. Highly recommend."
Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Control
Spider control pricing starts at $125-$200 for initial treatment depending on property size. Ongoing monthly service ranges from $50-$85 per visit. We recommend monthly or bi-monthly treatments for severe black widow infestations. No contracts required, and monthly customers receive free callbacks between visits.
Yes. Black widow spiders are among the most venomous spiders in North America. Their bite contains neurotoxins that can cause severe muscle pain, cramping, nausea, and breathing difficulty. While deaths are rare with modern medical treatment, bites require immediate medical attention, especially for children, elderly, or those with health conditions. Black widows are common in Southern Utah.
Permanent spider control requires ongoing treatment because spiders constantly migrate to properties. We create barrier treatments around your home, eliminate existing spiders and egg sacs, treat common hiding spots, and provide regular follow-up services. Most homes see dramatic reduction within 1-2 treatments, but monthly maintenance prevents re-infestation.
Southern Utah is home to black widow spiders (extremely venomous), wolf spiders (large, fast-moving), hobo spiders, jumping spiders, cellar spiders (daddy long legs), and various orb weavers. Black widows are our most dangerous species and require professional treatment. They hide in dark areas like garages, storage sheds, wood piles, and block walls.
Yes. We use EPA-registered products labeled for residential use with safety profiles appropriate for homes with children and pets. Products are safe once dry (typically 30 minutes). We recommend keeping pets and children away during application and drying period. Our licensed technicians are trained in proper application methods to minimize exposure.
Spiders can return because they migrate from surrounding areas and new spiders hatch from egg sacs. Our barrier treatments last up to 90 days, but we recommend monthly or bi-monthly service for continuous protection. Regular treatments prevent spider populations from establishing. Monthly customers get free callbacks if spiders return between scheduled services.
Black widows enter through cracks in foundations, gaps around doors and windows, utility penetrations, vents, and crawl spaces. They're attracted to dark, undisturbed areas like garages, storage sheds, block wall voids, wood piles, and outdoor furniture. They often enter attached garages and make their way into living areas. Sealing entry points helps but professional treatment is necessary for control.
Spiders are attracted to food sources (other insects), shelter (clutter, wood piles, debris), and moisture. Common attractants include outdoor lighting that draws insects, overgrown vegetation, storage items against house, block walls with voids, outdoor furniture, firewood storage, and cluttered garages or sheds. Reducing these factors helps but professional treatment eliminates existing populations.
Yes. Removing spider egg sacs is critical to our service. One black widow egg sac can contain 200-900 eggs. We identify and destroy all visible egg sacs during treatment. Our products also target newly hatched spiders. Regular service prevents egg sacs from developing, breaking the reproduction cycle.
For black widow problems or severe spider infestations, we recommend monthly treatment for 3-4 months, then bi-monthly for maintenance. Light spider issues may only need quarterly service. Southern Utah's warm climate supports year-round spider activity, so we recommend continuing service through winter when spiders seek indoor shelter.
Why Store-Bought Spider Spray Doesn't Work
We see it all the time: homeowners spend $100-$200 on hardware store products before calling us. Here's why DIY spider control usually fails:
🧪 Heavily Diluted Products
Consumer products are 10-20x weaker than professional-grade treatments because you're not licensed to handle concentrated formulations. What you buy might kill spiders on contact, but it won't create lasting barrier protection or reach spiders hiding in block wall voids.
❌ Can't Reach Hiding Spots
Black widows hide in block wall voids, eaves, and protected areas you can't access with a spray bottle. Professional equipment and application methods are necessary to treat these areas effectively. That's why block homes especially need professional treatment.
🕷️ Doesn't Address Egg Sacs
One black widow egg sac contains 200-900 eggs. If you don't remove egg sacs, you'll have hundreds of spiders hatching even after spraying. We physically remove egg sacs as part of our service - something DIY spray can't do.
💰 Actually Costs More
By the time you buy multiple products, spray equipment, and waste weeks or months fighting spiders, you've spent more than professional treatment would have cost. Plus you've exposed yourself to potential black widow bites during that time.
Don't risk black widow bites trying to save a few dollars. Call (435) 229-7701 for professional spider control that actually works.
