Reliable Spider Control Services in Charleston
Create a Safer, More Comfortable Space with Professional Spider Management
Spiders are a natural part of the outdoor environment, especially in warm, humid areas like Charleston. They help keep insect populations in check and play an important role in maintaining ecological balance. Even so, homeowners often prefer not to find spiders gathering near entry points, porch lights, garages, or windows. Spider activity becomes a concern when they begin wandering indoors, building webs near access points, or taking shelter in shaded exterior spaces.
Torpedo Mosquito & Gnat provides a professional spider control service designed to create a protective barrier around the exterior of your home. The goal is not to eliminate every spider in your yard but to reduce the likelihood of spiders entering your living spaces. Many local homeowners have shared positive experiences with our service, noting the attentive approach and clear communication our team provides. This focus on responsible treatment and consistent customer care supports your comfort while still respecting the natural balance outdoors.
Schedule your spider control service today or bundle it with your mosquito treatment for added protection. Contact us at (888) 708-6650 to get started.
Charleston Spider Service Overview
Service Area
Outdoor applications are included by default. Indoor applications may be performed when permitted under licensing requirements and homeowner preference.
Service Type
- Add-on service alongside mosquito treatments
- Available as a one-time, standalone service
Frequency
Every 21–28 days. Spider treatments are performed at the same time as your regular mosquito service for convenience and consistency.
Service Purpose
The focus is on creating a perimeter barrier that discourages spiders from entering the home. Since most spiders avoid human interaction and usually only bite when they feel threatened or trapped, the service emphasizes prevention and exterior control rather than full yard eradication. This helps maintain the natural ecosystem outdoors while limiting indoor encounters.
How Our Spider Treatment Works
Our technicians apply a low-pressure, coarse spray to key areas where spiders hide, move, or attempt to enter the home. This method supports effective control while minimizing disruption to beneficial outdoor species.
Target areas include:
- Baseboards, corners, storage zones, and closets
- Water pipes, doors, and window frames
- Attics and eaves
- Behind and beneath refrigerators, cabinets, sinks, furnaces, and stoves
- Under shelves, drawers, and similar spaces
- Cracks, crevices, and structural gaps where spiders take shelter
This targeted approach helps reduce spider activity around the home and lowers the likelihood of interior sighting.

Spiders Commonly Found in the Charleston Area
- Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae)
Large, fast-moving spiders that hunt on foot instead of spinning webs. They may wander indoors but are generally harmless despite their size.
- Jumping Spiders (Salticidae)
Small, active spiders often seen on walls and windows. They move quickly and are known for their impressive jumping ability.
- Garden Spiders (Argiope spp.)
Recognizable black-and-yellow orb weavers often found in gardens and landscaping. Beneficial outdoors but unwelcome near doors or walkways.
- Orb Weavers (Araneidae)
Web-building spiders common in wooded or landscaped areas, including species like the Golden Silk Orb-Weaver.
- Southern House Spiders (Kukulcania hibernalis)
Frequently found in garages, corners, and shutters. Often mistaken for recluse spiders but not medically significant.
- Yellow Sac Spiders (Cheiracanthium inclusum)
Light-colored spiders that wander indoors and build small silk sacs in room corners or ceilings.
- Black Widows (Latrodectus spp.)
Found in dark, undisturbed outdoor spaces such as woodpiles, sheds, and under decks. Their venom is medically significant, though bites are rare and usually occur when the spider is disturbed.
What You Can Expect from Us
Spider control is most effective when it is maintained on a routine schedule. Most homeowners notice fewer webs, reduced spider activity near entry points, and a calmer perimeter environment. Because spiders play a valuable ecological role and some areas naturally attract them, the realistic outcome is population reduction, not complete eradication. Ongoing consistency helps maintain the protective barrier over time.
