Frequently Asked Questions
Are black widows common in Monrovia?
Yes, especially in foothill areas. They love wood piles, storage sheds, and undisturbed garage corners. Canyon properties see higher populations due to natural habitat proximity.
When should I worry about spider bites?
Seek immediate medical attention for any suspected black widow bite (sharp pain, muscle cramps, sweating). Most other Monrovia spiders cause minor irritation, but monitor any bite for signs of infection.
Why do I have more spiders than my neighbors?
Factors include outdoor lighting (attracts prey), canyon proximity, storage clutter, and landscaping. Properties with bright lights near canyon areas typically see the most spiders.
How do you treat spiders safely around pets?
We use targeted applications in spider hiding spots rather than broad spraying. Treatments are placed in cracks, voids, and corners where pets can’t reach but spiders hide.
Do canyon homes need different spider treatment?
Yes, canyon properties require perimeter barriers to prevent migration from natural areas, plus extra attention to outdoor structures where spiders establish before moving indoors.
