Spider Control FAQs
What should I know about Spiders in Oregon?
Spiders are arachnids and are commonly recognized by their ability to spin a web and their eight legs. All spiders are venomous, however, the vast majority of spiders in the PNW are not medically significant, plus they have no interest in biting people. Of the 500 or so spiders that call Oregon home, there are three that stand out the most: the hobo, giant house, & the western black widow spider. The first two have a bad reputation of being extremely venomous but there has been no scientific data to back up these claims and they are considered harmless in other parts of the world. The western black widow spider is commonly found in the southwestern part of the state, they are docile and will not actively seek out a human to bite. Bites from these spiders are rare but If you are bitten by a black widow you should immediately seek medical attention. Keeping stored items away from the home along with having a regular pest control program will drastically cut down the number of spiders you see in or around the home.
What is the difference between poisonous and venomous spiders?
Poisonous things will only affect you if you ingest them. Venomous things have to bite or inject venom in you in order to affect you. All spiders are venomous as they have to inject venom into their prey in order to kill them.
Are there Brown Recluse spiders in Oregon?
We DO NOT have Brown Recluses here in Oregon. They are physically incapable of surviving in our environment. They like it hot and humid all the time, we just don’t have the correct conditions for them. Many other species of a spider look similar (such as the more than 200 species of wolf spider), and a microscope is generally required to accurately identify a true brown recluse.
How do I prevent spiders from entering my home?
The first step in effective spider control is limiting access to your home, and eliminating areas for spiders to nest, hide, or lay eggs. Gaps around structures – like those that can appear around foundations, windows, doors, and roofs – should be tightly sealed. Materials and debris should be stacked or stored away from the home, and loose items like clothing should be kept off of floors. Items like boots and work gloves should be kept in sealed containers to prevent spider entry. Areas like garages and basements should be kept clean and organized to further eliminate spider living spaces. In addition to these measures, Bug Zapper technicians can apply a powerful barrier system around the home that both kills and repels spiders and other pests, with results that are 100% guaranteed.
What types of training do your technicians go through?
We are committed to providing you with knowledgeable, experienced technicians with a high level of technical expertise. Each of our technicians is fully licensed and certified in Oregon, in addition to undergoing advanced training though our internal apprenticeship training program. All technicians complete state testing for laws and safety, including IIHS General, IIHS Structural, and Agricultural Vertebrate tests before going through a month-long apprenticeship field training program. Our staff regularly completes ongoing advanced training and attends industry-based seminars. We are fortunate to have an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) on our staff – one of 12 in the whole state of Oregon currently.
Do you have same day service?

We make every effort to prioritize your needs and to offer same day appointments when available. A technician can be at your home in most cases within 24-48 hrs. Call our office and we will gladly work with your schedule and time.
Spiders of Concern in Oregon
Black Widow
The black widow is the most dangerous spider variety present in Oregon and has the most toxic venom of any spider in the United States. If you are bitten by a black widow, it is important that you IMMEDIATELY SEEK EMERGENCY MEDICAL ATTENTION. Widow venom is comprised of powerful neurotoxins that can result in death without the administration of widow antivenom. Any black widow sighting should be treated with extreme caution, and safe widow treatment is best left to properly trained professionals.
Female black widows (which possess the dangerous venom) can be identified by their black bodies and the infamous red hourglass markings on the underside of their abdomens. We frequently see black widows all along the I-5 Corridor of Oregon. They are commonly found in wood piles, around the foundation of homes, under eaves, and among stored items. They build loose, wispy webs that appear as multiple unconnected strands of webbing.
Hobo Spider
Hobo spiders, also known as funnel web spiders, are a variety of small, brown spider commonly found in western North America. These spiders can be difficult to identify due to their visual similarities with many other spider species, though they can commonly be distinguished by the presence of a V-shaped pattern or patterns down the middle of the abdomen, pointing towards the head. The potential dangers posed by hobo spiders are up for debate. Studies from the 90s made claims that hobo spider bites caused isolated incidents of skin necrosis (like that of a recluse), but as of 2017, hobo spiders are no longer classified as a venomous species by the CDC.
It is a myth that hobo spiders are more aggressive than other spider types, and little data exists of hobo spider bites harming humans. No matter the case, hobo spiders are easily eradicated by Bug Zapper pest control professionals.
