Spider Control in Westchester, Rockland & Bergen County
Wooded properties and mature landscaping across Westchester, Rockland, and Bergen County create rich habitat for spiders of all kinds. Wolf spiders are among the most common — large, fast-moving ground hunters that move indoors through foundation gaps and basement entries in late summer and fall as temperatures drop. Cellar spiders (the long-legged "daddy long-legs" species) establish themselves in basements, crawl spaces, and garage corners, building messy cobwebs that accumulate quickly in undisturbed areas. House spiders web up window frames, corners, and storage areas throughout the year. On heavily wooded lots in communities like Armonk, Suffern, Clarkstown, and Woodcliff Lake, spider activity inside homes tends to be higher than in more urban settings — the surrounding landscape simply supports a larger prey insect population, which in turn supports larger spider populations. Orb weavers and funnel web spiders are prominent in landscaping and garden beds throughout the region. While the vast majority of spiders found in this area are harmless to humans, their presence in large numbers indoors is a quality-of-life issue — and in some cases an indicator of a broader insect infestation that's sustaining them. Hello Pest Control's spider control programs target both the spiders themselves and the insect prey that draws them indoors. By treating entry points, reducing interior harborage, and applying perimeter treatments, we address the conditions that allow spider populations to build up inside your home.

How It Works
- 1
Inspection of the interior (basement, crawl space, corners, window frames) and exterior (foundation perimeter, eaves, attached garage) to assess spider species, density, and contributing conditions.
- 2
Web removal and knockdown in accessible areas to eliminate existing harborage and disrupt established populations.
- 3
Perimeter spray treatment around the foundation, entry points, and eave lines using EPA-registered residual insecticide that remains active on treated surfaces.
- 4
Identification of conditions drawing spiders indoors — light attraction of prey insects, foundation gaps, moisture issues — with recommendations to reduce long-term pressure.

Spider Control FAQ
Are any of the spiders in Westchester or Bergen County dangerous?
The two medically significant spiders in the US — the black widow and the brown recluse — are rarely encountered in this region. Black widows do exist in the northeastern US but are uncommon. Brown recluses are not established in New York or New Jersey. The spiders you're most likely to encounter here — wolf spiders, cellar spiders, orb weavers, and house spiders — are not dangerous to humans, though bites from any spider can cause localized irritation.
Why are there so many spiders in my basement?
Basements provide the dark, undisturbed, slightly humid conditions that cellar spiders, wolf spiders, and house spiders prefer. If there's also a moisture issue attracting silverfish, springtails, or other insects, the prey base will sustain a larger spider population. Sealing foundation cracks, addressing moisture, and using a dehumidifier can help reduce long-term spider pressure alongside treatment.
Do spiders come in more during fall?
Yes — late summer and fall is when many spider species (particularly wolf spiders) move toward indoor structures as outdoor temperatures drop. This is especially noticeable on properties bordering wooded areas in Westchester and Rockland County, where outdoor populations are large.
How long does spider treatment last?
Residual perimeter treatments typically remain active for 60–90 days depending on weather conditions and surface type. A spring and fall treatment schedule covers the two peak entry periods most effectively for this region.
