Spider Control in Maryland & Virginia: How to Protect Your Home in Eldersburg, Columbia, Ellicott City & Falls Church
Spiders are more than just a creepy sight in the corner of your ceiling — for many homes in Maryland and Northern Virginia, they’re a recurring problem that worsens with changing seasons.
Whether you live in Eldersburg, Columbia, Ellicott City, or Falls Church, it’s common to find spiders in basements, attics, garages, crawlspaces, and sheds — especially in areas surrounded by trees or moisture.
At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we’ve helped thousands of local homeowners eliminate spiders safely and effectively since 1991.
📍 Why Spiders Are Common in This Region
Homes near woods, water, or mulch beds are perfect for spiders to nest and hunt. Insects come inside for warmth, and spiders follow.
We regularly service neighborhoods like:
- Eldersburg & Woodbine
- Clarksville & River Hill (Columbia)
- Ellicott City’s Dunloggin & Centennial area
- Falls Church, Pimmit Hills, and McLean
Spiders are usually found:
- In dark corners of basements and garages
- Around windows and door frames
- Nesting inside attic insulation
- Near exterior lights, which attract prey
🕷️ Common Spiders in MD & VA Homes
- Wolf Spiders – Large, fast, and often found in basements
- House Spiders – Build webs in corners and near vents
- Cellar Spiders – “Daddy longlegs” that thrive in damp areas
- Black Widows – Dangerous; found in crawlspaces, garages, sheds
- Jumping Spiders – Small, compact spiders that leap when disturbed
⚠️ Are Spiders Dangerous?
Most spiders are harmless, but some species — like black widows — can bite if provoked. Even non-dangerous spiders:
- Indicate other insect issues (their prey)
- Trigger fear or stress
- Reproduce quickly, building webs throughout the home
