Spider Control & Hobo Spider Removal in Rexburg, ID

Spiders are a normal part of life in Southeast Idaho, but that doesn't mean you want them in your basement, bedrooms, or kids' play areas. As weather cools in the fall or conditions change outside, spiders look for quiet, sheltered places inside homes, garages, and shops.

Hobo spiders and other larger spiders often end up in basements, along baseboards, or in corners where they're hard to see until they surprise you. Even if you don't mind spiders outdoors, most people would rather not share their living space with them — especially when they're not sure what kind of spider it is or whether it can bite.

If you're seeing spiders regularly inside, it's a good sign that a professional barrier treatment and interior service could make a big difference.

Common House Spiders

• Small to medium-sized spiders with thin legs and simple webs in corners and ceilings.
• Often found in basements, garages, storage rooms, and around windows.
• Usually more of a nuisance than a serious threat, but still unsettling to see indoors.

Hobo Spiders

• Medium to large brown spiders with longer, thicker legs and a more robust body.
• Often seen at floor level in basements, along baseboards, in storage areas, or near foundation walls.
• Can be concerning for homeowners because they look similar to other larger spiders and may bite if cornered.

Wolf Spiders

• Larger, heavier-bodied spiders that move quickly and don't build classic webs.
• Common in garages, sheds, and lower levels, especially near doors and clutter.
• Startling to see, but usually just passing through while hunting other insects.

Black Widow Spiders

• Shiny black body with a red or orange hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen.
• Prefer dark, undisturbed areas like woodpiles, under steps, or in cluttered corners.
• Potentially dangerous, and a good reason to have a professional address the area quickly.

If you're not sure what kind of spider you're looking at, that's okay. You don't have to identify it perfectly before you call. If it's in your living space and it's making you nervous, we can help you deal with it.

Spider control is most effective when it combines interior and exterior work. Here's what you can expect when you schedule a visit:

1. Talk through what you're seeing. We'll ask where you're seeing spiders, how often, and what kind of spaces are involved (basement, bedrooms, garage, etc.).
2. Treat key areas inside and out. We apply professional products around the exterior of your home and focus on interior trouble spots where spiders are most likely to be hiding or traveling.
3. Recommend follow-up if needed. For many homes, a well-timed treatment or seasonal service keeps spiders under control. If you need ongoing help, we'll talk through simple options that fit your home and budget.
