Why Louisiana Homes Can Have So Much Spider Activity
Spiders do not need your food.
They need the insects that are attracted to your home.
South Louisiana’s warmth, humidity, landscaping, and long insect season can provide spiders with a nearly constant food supply.
Outdoor lighting may attract flying insects.
Vegetation can hold insects close to the structure.
Garages and storage areas provide quiet hiding locations.
Eaves and porches provide protected places to build webs.
Spider activity is commonly found around:
- Windows
- Exterior doors
- Porch ceilings
- Light fixtures
- Garages
- Eaves
- Sheds
- Patio furniture
- Storage areas
- Bushes near the house
- Ceiling corners
- Utility areas
Repeated spider activity is often a sign that the property is providing both food and shelter.
That makes general insect management an important part of spider control.

Spider Control Works Better When We Also Reduce What They Are Feeding On
Instead of treating spiders as an isolated problem, we look at the broader pest activity around the home.
Our Approach to Spider Control
Look for Concentrated Spider Activity
Webs, egg sacs, repeated sightings, and favored hiding locations help show where spiders are most active.
Evaluate the Insect Population Around the Home
Exterior lights, vegetation, windows, doors, and moisture can attract insects that become prey for spiders.
Address Spider Harborages
Garages, stored materials, exterior corners, eaves, and other undisturbed areas can provide excellent shelter.
Treat Appropriate Areas
Service is directed toward locations where spider activity and the insects supporting it are most likely to occur.
Maintain Ongoing Household Pest Protection
Spider control is usually more effective when the insects serving as their food source are also kept under control.
Spiders are specifically included in the recurring residential pest programs described in the existing Dave’s & Kevin’s website material.

Start Your Annual Pest Control Plan for Just $39
Your first pest control treatment is just $39 instead of the regular $189 initial treatment price when you enroll in an annual plan. That’s $150 in savings while getting ongoing protection from ants and other common household pests.
Why the Same Spider Web Keeps Coming Back
You knock the web down.
A few days later, another web appears in almost exactly the same place.
There is usually a reason.
That corner may provide protection from wind and rain.
A nearby light may attract moths and other insects every night.
The structure itself may create an ideal anchor point.
From a spider’s perspective, it is valuable real estate.
This is why removing webs alone can become an endless cycle.
Reducing the insects gathering in that area and addressing the conditions that attract spiders can be far more useful.
That does not mean eliminating every spider from the outdoors.
Spiders are part of the natural environment.
Residential spider control is about reducing unwanted activity on and inside the structure, particularly where webs and spiders interfere with normal use of the home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spider Control
Why do I have so many spider webs around the outside of my house?
The area likely provides good web-building locations and a dependable supply of insects.
Do exterior lights attract spiders?
Indirectly. Lights attract flying insects, and spiders often build webs nearby to take advantage of that food source.
Why do spiders keep getting inside?
Doors, garages, windows, utility openings, and small structural gaps can all provide access.
Are spiders covered under recurring pest service?
Yes. Dave’s & Kevin’s existing residential pest-control material specifically includes spiders among the pests addressed by recurring service
Will removing all the webs solve my spider problem?
It can improve the appearance of the home, but webs may return if spiders and prey insects remain active.
What can homeowners do to discourage spiders?
Reducing clutter, trimming heavy vegetation near the structure, controlling insects, cleaning webs, and reconsidering excessive exterior lighting near doors and windows can all help.
Too Many Spiders Around Your Home?
Stop knocking down the same webs week after week.
