Spider Control in Las Vegas

Keep Spiders Out. Keep Your Family Safe. 🕷️❌

While many spiders are harmless and even beneficial, not all of them belong inside your home or business. In Las Vegas, spider sightings are common due to the desert climate—but when venomous spiders like the black widow or brown recluse show up, it becomes more than just a nuisance.

At Scorpion Slayer Pest Control, we provide expert spider control and prevention to keep your property safe, spider-free, and comfortable year-round.

Why Are Spiders So Common in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas’s hot, arid climate and abundant insect life make it the perfect home for a variety of spiders. During extreme temperatures, spiders seek shelter indoors in search of food, shade, and moisture—often winding up in garages, closets, storage bins, attics, and under furniture.

🚪 Seeing spiders dash across the floor?
🕸️ Webs in corners, ceiling edges, or around outdoor lighting?
These aren’t just cosmetic concerns—they could be signs of venomous spiders nesting nearby.

⚠️ Black Widow Spiders: A Serious Threat in Las Vegas

Black widow spiders are the most dangerous spider species found throughout the Las Vegas Valley, and they are not uncommon in both urban and suburban areas.

🕷️ How to Identify a Black Widow:

  • Glossy black body with a red hourglass shape on the underside of the abdomen
  • Females are about 1.5 inches across (including legs)
  • Typically found in dark, undisturbed areas like garages, sheds, mailboxes, patio furniture, and crawl spaces

❗ Why They're Dangerous:

  • Their venom is 15x stronger than a rattlesnake’s (drop for drop)
  • Bites can cause severe muscle cramps, abdominal pain, nausea, tremors, and difficulty breathing
  • Children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals are especially vulnerable
  • Although fatalities are rare due to antivenom, hospitalization is often required

Important: Black widows are not aggressive, but they will bite if threatened—especially if someone accidentally places a hand near their web.

If you suspect a black widow infestation or get bitten, seek medical attention immediately.

Brown Recluse Spiders: A Real Threat in the Desert

The brown recluse spider is one of the most dangerous spiders in the United States and has been found in isolated areas of Las Vegas, particularly in homes with storage spaces, clutter, or dark, undisturbed areas.

🕷️ How to Identify a Brown Recluse:

  • Light to dark brown with a violin-shaped marking on its back
  • About the size of a quarter (including legs)
  • Six eyes arranged in pairs (instead of the usual eight)
  • Prefers hiding in shoes, boxes, clothing, and under furniture

⚠️ Brown Recluse Bites:

  • Often painless at first, but symptoms can worsen over time
  • Can lead to skin necrosis, ulcers, fever, and in rare cases, systemic illness
  • Requires immediate medical attention if suspected

Brown recluses are not aggressive, but they will bite if disturbed—making them especially dangerous around kids, pets, and anyone reaching into storage areas.
