Common types of Spiders

Black Widow Spiders

Easily recognized by their black bodies and red hourglass markings, black widows are highly venomous. Their bites can cause serious medical issues and require immediate attention.

Brown Recluse Spiders

Known for the violin-shaped marking on their backs, brown recluses are dangerous indoor pests. Their bites can lead to necrotic wounds and long-lasting health problems if untreated.

House Spiders

Common web-builders that live indoors year-round. Though not dangerous, they create messy webs in corners, basements, and attics, leading to an unkempt appearance.

Wolf Spiders

Large, fast-moving hunters often mistaken for tarantulas. Wolf spiders don’t build webs but can alarm homeowners with their size and sudden movements indoors.

Health risks

Deliver painful or medically serious bites (especially black widows and brown recluses)

Trigger fear, stress, and anxiety in households

Cause secondary infestations — large spider populations often indicate an underlying insect problem (their food source)

Property damage

Leave webs, egg sacs, and droppings throughout the home

Reduce a property’s appeal during showings or open houses

Signal sanitation or pest issues when seen by guests, tenants, or buyers

Spring

Spiders become more active as temperatures rise, seeking food sources both indoors and outdoors. Egg sacs from winter begin to hatch, leading to rapid population growth.

Summer

Peak season for spiders. Insects are abundant, providing food, and web-building activity around porches, garages, and windows increases noticeably.

Fall

Spider activity often spikes as they move indoors to escape cooler weather. Brown recluse and black widow encounters become more common inside homes.

Winter

Spider activity often spikes as they move indoors to escape cooler weather. Brown recluse and black widow encounters become more common inside homes.

Lonestar does our quarterly pest control and we had to call for re-spray of our kitchen due to these 100 plus degree temperature days. They sent Eddie over right away and he was so helpful telling me to pick up dog food every day, plug drains daily, use vinegar solution for drains, and make sure they always spray an area of the custom cabinets that has a gap between the cabinets and wall. He was the best! Really educated me and was so patient and even funny as I stared wide eyed over his knowledge of all things cockroaches.

Have used Lonestar for years for normal treatments inside and outside, but just recently used them for mosquito control prior to an outdoor graduation pool party. EXCELLENT RESULTS AND PHENOMENAL SERVICE! We had them do a general area fogging and then leave-behind portable remote controlled area “mister” — we haven’t seen a mosquito in two weeks!

— John Seamon

We have used Richard’s team for years. Recently we learned our neighbor’s had termites. We contacted Lone Star to learn about our options. The solution provided was better than solutions our neighbors suggested. In fact, we learned of several pitfalls that our neighbors might encounter (beyond higher cost over the long term).
