Spider Control & De-Webbing
Webs off the eaves. Egg sacs gone before they hatch.
Serving Massachusetts & Connecticut
Spiders are New England's most visible curb-appeal problem: orb weavers and cobweb spiders festooning the eaves, porch lights, and cedar trim by August, each egg sac holding hundreds of spiderlings ready for next season. Coastal and lakeside homes get it worst — more flying insects means more spiders.
Spider control is different from insect control because spiders don't groom or walk-absorb products the way ants do; the job is physical removal plus habitat treatment.

How Seaport treats spiders
- 1
Full-perimeter de-webbing
Our de-webber poles extend 30 feet — second-story eaves, gable peaks, and porch ceilings included. Every visit starts with physically removing webs AND egg sacs, because a treated web still hatches spiderlings if the sac stays.
- 2
Egg-sac penetrating treatment
Where sacs are embedded in cracks and shakes, we use products formulated to penetrate the sac shell and stop the problem at the source rather than waiting for the hatch.
- 3
Eave residual application
A natural residual product applied to the eaves deters rebuilding — spiders relocate rather than re-web. The same application discourages the wasps and flying insects spiders are there to eat.
- 4
Prey-pressure reduction
The long game: our perimeter and granule program reduces the insect population around your home. Fewer insects means the eaves stop being prime hunting territory at all.
What to expect
The visible difference is immediate — webs and sacs come down on the first visit. Because spiders reproduce from egg sacs already placed, recurring visits through the season keep new arrivals from re-establishing. Before-and-after on a de-webbing visit speaks for itself.
Timing & seasonality
Web-building accelerates July through September as spiders mature; egg sacs laid in fall overwinter in shakes and trim, which is why fall sac removal matters more than any spring spray. Coastal humidity on the Cape extends the season on both ends.
Spiders questions, answered
Why do you remove webs instead of just spraying them?
A sprayed web with an intact egg sac still produces hundreds of spiderlings. Physical removal of webs and sacs, plus a residual that discourages rebuilding, is the only combination that actually keeps eaves clear.
Are there dangerous spiders in Connecticut or Massachusetts?
Medically significant bites are rare here — no established brown recluse populations, and black widows are uncommon. The spiders on your eaves are a nuisance and curb-appeal issue, not a danger, but nobody wants to walk through a web on their front porch.
How high can you actually reach?
Our poles extend 30 feet — enough for second-story eaves and most gable peaks without a ladder. Three-story or unusual architecture, we bring the right equipment after seeing the home.
