Spider Pest Control
(Included in our regular service package)
Arachnophobia has been on the top 10 phobia list forever! And it's no wonder. There is something primally evil looking about these pests.
While some spiders can be harmful to humans, in all actuality, the spider is a very helpful part of our ecosystem. They eat other pests that damage plants in our gardens and homes thus helping to keep them at bay. Pest Control Las Vegas is on the job and will take care of these 8-legged arachnids so that you can rest at ease. If you are having a case of arachnophobia, call us at 702-904-9292 or fill out the form on this page to schedule your FREE spider control consultation at your home or property.

The Black Widow
Color: Black with a red "hourglass" mark or brown with yellow marks on abdomen
Size: ~1/2 - 1.5 inches long with leg's spread
They get their name from the fact that the female will kill the male after mating with it. Females produce anywhere from 4 to 9 egg sacs each summer. Each sack contains 300-400 babies that take just over a week to hatch. One of the most venemous spiders in the U.S., but rarely fatal if treated.

The Desert Recluse
Color: light brown legs w/dark brown to yellow body. Violin-shaped spot on body
Size: 1/2 inch plus 1.5 - 2 inch leg span
Named because of it's reclusive nature, these spiders like to stay hidden in dark, small spaces like dead plants or under rocks. They won't attack unless provoked. If bitten, intense pain and redness will occur. A "necrotoxin" (poison that kills healthy cells) will cause the skin to blister and eventually burst, creating an ulcer, if not treated promptly. The bite could prove fatal for children and elderly. Do not attempt to kill this spider on your own. Call a professional!

The Camel Spider (A.K.A. Sun Spider, Wind Scorpion)
Color: yellowish brown
Size: ~1.5 - 6 inches long
These aren't actually spiders at all. Neither are they scorpions. They are nocturnal creatures that flee from the sun. If you are being chased by one it is probably only interested in the shade you are making. They are not venomous but if bitten, the wound can be become infected easily. They can run up to 10 miles an hour, so if you see one of these monsters, call PCLV and we'll get rid of them for good!
