Nobody wants to come home after a long, hard day and discover a nest of spiders or new spider webs. There are many common spiders in California, and spider pest control is sometimes necessary to keep infestations under control — no matter how much we would rather not think about it.

We can help you determine the type of spider on your property and diagnose the extent of your pest problem. Then, we can establish the best way to treat your problem.
Below, we take a closer look at some of the spider species most commonly encountered throughout Sacramento.
One of the largest arachnids in the world, the Wolf Spider is sometimes referred to as the Tarantula’s smaller relative. Despite their intimidating size and appearance, these spiders are not venomous. They actively hunt for prey rather than relying on webs to capture other insects. Still, few homeowners enjoy unexpectedly discovering a Wolf Spider inside their home.
You should also remember that the “big brother” — Tarantulas — can also be found as pests throughout Sacramento. If you happen to encounter one, remember that it will generally bite only when provoked. Although venom from a Tarantula has the ability to induce nausea, a rapid heartbeat, and profuse sweating if you are allergic to spider venom, Tarantulas can grow up to more than 30 centimeters in size.
Yellow Sac Spiders are among the smallest spiders included on our list. They typically measure less than a quarter-inch in length and range in color from beige to yellow. These spiders usually hunt at night instead of depending on webs to capture their food.
Their bites may cause moderate pain and can sometimes kill skin cells around the bite area, causing the affected skin to turn black. However, they generally bite only when they feel provoked.
The Orb Weaver Spider can vary in appearance thanks to a large family tree. They can usually be identified by their web, which is similar to the stereotypical webbing depicted in storybooks and movies.
Orb Weaver Spiders are nocturnal and actually consume parts of their web on a daily basis. Like Black Widow females, Orb Weaver females tend to eat their partner after mating.
The Cellar Spider has a small body with long, thin legs. Generally, these arachnids are tan or gray in color.
Unlike more venomous spiders, Cellar Spiders will only try to bite if provoked. Because their mouth is too small to damage human skin, property owners can rest easy.
These spiders enjoy hiding in humid, dark, and secluded areas and often live in communities. Though an infestation will not lead to bites, it could be dangerous to pets. Cellar Spiders are known to be poisonous.
The Black Widow is a jet-black spider distinguished by the red marking on its abdomen. Although many people assume all Black Widows are venomous, this is actually incorrect. Only female Black Widows possess a venomous bite.
Unfortunately, their bite is reportedly around 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake bite. These unwanted arachnids may enter your home by hiding inside firewood, crawling through open doors, or slipping through cracks around windows.
