Spider Control and Extermination
At Maximum Pest Management, spider control is the cornerstone of both our residential and commercial services. This is due in large part because, out of the nearly 4,000 species of spiders found in the U.S., the two most dangerous are prevalent here in Kansas – the black window and the brown recluse.
Our team has more than 20 years of experience identifying and controlling both poisonous and non-poisonous spiders. As a local, family-owned spider extermination company in Wichita, Maximum Pest Management provides contract-free pest control services to residential and business customers.
Our spider control services start with a free inspection to determine the type of spider(s) on the property. Then, we’ll recommend a treatment plan to eliminate the spiders in a safe, effective manner. We also include spider web removal from your home’s exterior to help maintain a tidy appearance.
Signs of Spider Infestation
There are some straightforward signs that spiders have invaded your home or business: You’ll typically notice a lot of spiderwebs and spiders inside or just outside the building. You may also see spider egg sacs.
How We Treat for Spiders
Spiders must come into direct contact with chemicals, pesticides or other preventive measures in order to be eliminated. Effective spider control involves treating the exterior of the home along the foundation and at common points of entry, such as windows and doors.
Preventing Spiders in the Home
Spiders love to live where food is plentiful, so if you have a lot of flying insects and other bugs around, calling an exterminator to clear them out can be a good preventive measure. Keeping your home clean and eliminating clutter will reduce the places spiders will want to build their homes. Sealing up cracks and crevices will help prevent spiders and other pests from entering your home or business. Spiders also thrive in damp or humid areas, which can be common in basements, so mitigating moisture will help keep them away.

Extremely professional, courteous, and polite. Great knowledge. Very helpful. … More Armando was excellent. I also loved the communication with the company. It was nice to see reminder emails and texts. Extremely nice to get a text notifying me that they were on the way with a photo of the professional. I would highly recommend.

I was hesitant to have an exterminator because people told me unless you hit … More the spider directly, it was pointless. I had sprayed many times with stuff from the stores and still saw regular activity. I'll tell you what... This is grade A extermination!!!! Mike came out, he was so knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. Explained everything thoroughly. I had those pest sticky pads out in the garage and they had spiders on them the next morning after being out out. After Mike sprayed, there hasn't been one bug of any kind on it, and that was a week ago! And the pads are right by the opening of the garage door. I've seen dead spiders, which is the only kind of spider I like to see. His stuff works! And now with regular maintenance, I will rest easy knowing my daughter and I are less likely to run into those jerks, especially the recluses! Thanks Mike!

Common Spiders Native to Kansas
Black Widow Spider
The black widow is North America’s most dangerous spider. Its infamous shiny black body often has a red hourglass on the abdomen. Black widows have a neurotoxic venom (nerve poison) made up of 15 different proteins, making it 10 times more toxic than a rattlesnake bite. Black widow bites feel like a pinprick and can cause dizziness, nausea, sweating, difficulty breathing, vomiting, abdominal pain and even heart failure. The female black widow is most aggressive when protecting its egg sack. These egg sacks usually have hundreds of eggs, and a female black widow can produce up to nine egg sacks in one summer.
Brown Recluse Spiders
Brown recluse spider venom is cytotoxic, meaning it damages skin cells and creates an open wound and a pathway for infection. Brown recluse bites are virtually painless, and they can result in everything from a small red spot to massive skin lesions. They prefer to squeeze themselves in tight spaces and are commonly found on rough surfaces like paper, wood, and cardboard, especially the underside of the folded flaps of cardboard boxes. The brown recluse is also known to seek refuge inside of shoes, under clothes left on the floor, inside gloves left in the garage, etc.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders often cause concern in homes because they are fast, aggressive, and active hunters. They have large eyes and excellent vision, allowing them to see humans approaching. Their quick movements can be alarming, and although their bites are painful, wolf spiders are not deadly. Wolf spiders do not build nests in which to trap their prey; instead, they hunt by chasing their prey on the ground. Females carry their egg sacks on their backs until the eggs are ready to hatch. The babies then stay on the female wolf spider until they are ready to survive on their own.
Funnel Web Spiders
The funnel weaver gets its name from its flat, trampoline-like web with a funnel at the base. They wait at the bottom of this funnel and impale their prey from below. The barn spider, hobo spider and house spider are all species of funnel weavers. They’re non-poisonous and rarely bite. Outdoors, funnel weaving spider webs are often found in vegetation, between bricks, in house siding or in woodpiles. Indoors, they can be found in basements that are rarely disturbed.
