Why Spiders Show Up in Treasure Valley Homes
Spiders follow food. When flying and crawling insects increase around exterior lights, door thresholds, and eaves, spiders move in to hunt. Boise’s dry summers and cold winters also push them toward consistent moisture and shelter—garages, crawl spaces, basements, and quiet storage areas. If you’re finding regular spider activity indoors, you likely have favorable harborage, entry points, and an underlying insect food source.
- Common issues spiders cause
- Webs and egg sacs collecting in eaves, corners, and storage areas
- Startle/comfort concerns for kids and pets
- Occasional medically important species (e.g., black widows) in protected, undisturbed spots such as woodpiles, sheds, and under deck stairs
Spiders We Commonly See in Boise-Metro
- Cellar spiders (daddy longlegs-type), common house spiders, and cobweb spiders in corners and window frames
- Wolf spiders and grass spiders that wander in from landscaping and garages
- Jumping spiders on sunny sills and interior walls
- Black widows in dark, undisturbed exterior sites such as woodpiles, valve boxes, and sheds
- Hobo spiders and other funnel weavers around ground-level foundation gaps and cluttered storage
Note on risk: Brown recluse spiders are not established in Idaho; rare, transported individuals may appear but sustained populations haven’t been verified locally. Hobo spiders are no longer considered of medical concern by experts; black widows remain the primary medically important species to watch for in our area.
Where Spiders Hide (Indoors & Outside)
Indoors: garage corners, behind stored boxes, under stairs, inside utility rooms, crawl spaces, window wells, and quiet ceiling corners.
Outside: under eaves, behind downspouts, in valve boxes, under patio furniture, beneath deck stairs, woodpiles, and dense shrubs touching siding.
Signs to watch for
- Fresh webs and egg sacs reappearing after you clean
- Night activity around porch lights and door thresholds
- Shed skins and live spiders along baseboards and window frames
Our Spider Control Process
1) Same-Day Inspection and Species Identification
We trace conducive conditions (insect prey, moisture, vegetation touching the home) and locate hot spots: garages, crawl spaces, soffits/eaves, light fixtures, and foundation gaps. Service area includes Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Middleton, and Garden City.
2) Targeted Knockdown and Web Removal
Precision applications where spiders live and hunt (interior voids as needed, exterior seams, and protected harborage)
Web removal at eaves, porch ceilings, soffits, play structures, sheds, and fence lines
Focused black widow treatments for garages, woodpiles, and utility boxes when present
3) Exterior Barrier and Entry-Point Hardening
Perimeter treatment to stop new spiders and insect prey from establishing
Recommendations to seal utility penetrations and weather-strip thresholds
Vegetation and clutter guidance so exterior zones don’t continually re-seed new webs
4) Follow-Up and Maintenance
Quarterly protection plans keep a fresh barrier in place through seasonal shifts, with de-webbing and retreatment of pressure points so activity doesn’t rebound.
Black Widow Attention Areas
Widows prefer dry, undisturbed corners and clutter near ground level. We target garages, sheds, valve boxes, deck undersides, and wood piles with careful applications and web removal. Gloves and visual checks are recommended when moving stored items, firewood, or patio furniture.
DIY vs Professional
Knocking down visible webs helps, but without treating harborage and addressing the underlying insect food source, spiders return quickly. Store-bought sprays can leave gaps, especially in complex eave systems and crawl spaces. A species-aware program with routine maintenance provides better long-term results.
Prevention Checklist
Reduce outside night lighting or switch to warmer bulbs that attract fewer insects
Trim plants and shrubs back from siding and keep mulch/rock from bridging to foundation gaps
Seal door sweeps and utility penetrations, fix torn screens, and close gaps at garage weather-stripping
Store boxes off the floor; use sealed bins; keep woodpiles away from structures
Keep basements and crawl spaces dry and ventilated

Spiders In Boise, Nampa, & Meridian
Spiders are one of the most common pests in Boise and are commonly found in residential and commercial properties. These pests are attracted to dark, secluded areas in homes like attics, basements, crawl spaces, and closets.
There are many different types of spiders in Boise, but the most common include:
- Black widow spiders: The black widows are one of the most venomous spiders in America. They weave strong, loose webs and use their combed feet to easily tear prey apart. They usually make their web in dark areas and are often found in garages, sheds, woodpiles, and basements.
- Hobo spiders: Hobo spiders are common in the state of Idaho. They’re usually ¼-inch and ½-in-sized arachnids that lurk around on ground level. They make funnel-shaped webs to capture prey such as other insects or even small bugs.
If you think you may have a spider problem in your home or business, call us today for a free inspection. We will find the source of your infestation and create a customized treatment plan to get rid of these pests for good!
What is the Lifespan of a Spider?
The lifespan of a spider varies depending on the species. Some live up to 20 years, but most only have 2-3 years. Female spiders generally live longer than males. Male spiders are often killed after mating because female spiders eat them. However, some species of males die during the process, and this is an obligatory death for all types!

Are Spiders Dangerous to Humans?
Most spiders are not dangerous to humans. Most spiders prefer to avoid contact with humans altogether. However, there are a few species of spiders that can pose a threat to human health. These include the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. Although these bites can be painful, they’re rarely fatal in healthy adults. Rarely, a spider bite can lead to a serious infection or allergic reaction. If you think these dangerous spiders bite you, seek medical attention immediately.
Most humans fear spiders because of their sinister reputation in popular culture. However, most spiders are harmless to humans and can even be beneficial, as they help control insect populations. But it’s always best to err on the side of caution when it comes to a spider infestation. If you see a spider in your home, it’s best to contact a professional exterminator to have it removed. This will ensure that the spider is safely removed from your home and won’t pose a threat to you or your family.
