Our Michigan Spider Control Strategy
We use a three-step treatment approach for our professional spider control services in Michigan.
Step 1: Comprehensive Spider Inspection
At Wingman we perform thorough inspections to identify and address potential spider infestations and conditions conducive to their presence. Here’s a breakdown of how the inspection process works:
Exterior Inspection:
•Inspect the home’s exterior to identify any entry points or areas where spiders may take shelter (harborage areas).
•Recommend cleaning up around the foundation, repairing windows, and addressing other structural issues to eliminate access points.
•Advise on the types of outdoor lighting to use, as spiders are attracted to lights that attract insects, which in turn can invite more spiders.
Interior Inspection:
•Inspect indoor areas, focusing on damp spaces and those that are infrequently visited (such as basements, attics, or storage rooms), as these environments are ideal for spiders to thrive.
Our goal is to make recommendations for home improvements and maintenance that reduce spider habitats and entry points, helping to prevent future infestations.
Step 2: Targeted Treatment & Population Control
Treatment options include:
Residual Insecticide Application: Wingman applies industry-approved residual insecticides to cracks, crevices, and known spider harborage areas to ensure effective control.
• Dust Treatments: We utilize specialized insecticide dusts to treat voids, wall cavities, and other concealed spaces, targeting spiders in hard-to-reach areas.
• Glue Traps: Non-toxic glue traps are strategically placed to monitor spider activity and support population reduction as part of an integrated pest management approach.
Step 3: Sealing & Long-Term Prevention
Our company provides professional recommendations on mechanical control methods to help manage spider populations effectively. This includes vacuuming, web removal, and the strategic use of glue traps to reduce spider presence in and around your property.
Additionally, our wildlife inspection team is available to identify both small and larger entry points that may allow spiders, insects, or other pests to enter. These inspections focus on spotting structural vulnerabilities, such as gaps around utility lines, foundation openings, or roof penetrations, which can serve as access points for a variety of pests.
By combining mechanical control strategies with detailed property inspections and sealing solutions, we ensure a comprehensive, long-term approach to spider exclusion and pest prevention.

FAQ'S
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Dealing with a spider problem can be frustrating, and we understand you want clear, reliable information. Whether you’re wondering why spiders keep showing up, how our treatments work, or what you can do to prevent future infestations, we’ve got you covered. Our FAQ addresses the most common concerns about spider control, so you can feel confident in taking the next steps toward a spider-free home.
Most spiders commonly found in homes are harmless and play a beneficial role in controlling other pests. While certain species, such as the black widow or brown recluse, possess venom that can pose health risks, they are generally non-aggressive and tend to avoid human interaction. The majority of household spiders are either non-venomous or have venom that is not medically significant to humans.
Seeing spiders after cleaning is often due to disturbance, as cleaning can dislodge them from hiding spots and remove their webs, prompting them to move. It may also attract insects, which serve as a food source, or create new spaces for spiders to explore by shifting furniture or vacuuming. To reduce their presence, sealing cracks and minimizing clutter can help.
No treatment can guarantee the permanent removal of spiders, as new ones can always enter from outside. However, regular cleaning, sealing entry points, reducing clutter, and managing insect populations can significantly reduce their presence over time.
Wingman prevents spiders from returning through targeted treatments and preventative measures. After a thorough inspection to identify entry points and food sources, we apply residual insecticides and specialized dusts in key areas to create a long-lasting barrier. Our integrated pest management (IPM) approach includes sealing entry points, reducing insect populations, and recommending environmental modifications. Regular maintenance treatments ensure continued protection, though no method guarantees permanent elimination.
No, homeowners cannot completely eliminate spiders on their own, but they can significantly reduce their presence. While DIY methods like sealing entry points, regular cleaning, and managing insect populations can help, they may not be enough for severe infestations. Spiders often hide in hard-to-reach areas, and store-bought pesticides may not be as effective as professional-grade treatments. Additionally, there are no scientific studies proving that smells or essential oils effectively repel spiders. For long-term control, a professional pest control service is the most reliable option.
Yes, spiders can indicate other pest problems since they primarily feed on insects. If you notice an increase in spiders, it may suggest a higher population of other pests, such as flies, ants, or cockroaches, providing them with a steady food source. Addressing the underlying insect issue through proper sanitation, our treatments, and exclusion methods can help reduce both the insect and spider populations in your home. We have solutions to effectively reduce these pests.
Spiders prefer quiet, undisturbed areas where they can find shelter and food, such as ceiling corners, basements, attics, garages, and storage spaces. They often hide in clutter, boxes, and rarely disturbed items, while some are drawn to moisture-rich areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Reducing clutter, sealing entry points, and keeping your home clean can help prevent spiders from settling in these spaces.
When applying pesticide treatments in homes with pets and children, safety is our highest priority. We utilize targeted, low-toxicity solutions designed to minimize exposure risks. It is essential to follow all safety guidelines provided by your pest control technician to ensure a safe and effective treatment process.
Spider treatments typically remain effective for 30 to 90 days, depending on the treatment type, environment, and infestation level. Residual insecticides provide weeks of protection, while dust formulations last longer in undisturbed areas. Regular maintenance is key to preventing reinfestations, as factors like weather and cleaning can reduce effectiveness. For long-term control, we offer a comprehensive pest management program.
To prepare for a spider pest control treatment, clean and declutter hiding areas, vacuum thoroughly, and secure food and pet items. Move furniture for better access, follow any vacating guidelines, and address outdoor areas by trimming vegetation and clearing debris. Avoid removing webs to help identify infestations. After treatment, allow the product to settle before cleaning, follow all post-treatment instructions, and consult your technician for further details.
