A Misunderstood “Pest”
Because they eat mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other pests, spiders are actually beneficial. But that doesn’t mean you want them hanging around inside your home. Terminix quarterly pest control service keeps these web-weaving artisans outside where they belong.
Spider Species: Possibly Poisonous?
Of course, a small number of spider species are capable of inflicting a painful bite. If you think you have poisonous spiders in or around the home, call your Terminix professional to ensure proper identification and treatment, if needed. The good news is the chance of a poisonous spider taking up residence in your home is really quite rare. (Deep breaths, y’all.)
