Spider control, including brown recluse
Northridge Pest Control manages brown recluse, black widow and house spiders in homes and garages across Dallas and nearby cities.
Are brown recluse spiders common in Dallas?
Yes. The brown recluse is native to North Texas and is common in attics, garages, closets and stored boxes, where it stays hidden during the day. Black widows prefer undisturbed corners outdoors: meter boxes, wood piles, under patio furniture and in the garage. Most spiders are harmless, but these two are worth taking seriously, especially with young children at home.
Brown recluse take a patient approach. We inspect, place sticky monitors to see where they travel, treat cracks, voids and the attic, remove webs and egg sacs, and advise on storage changes that remove hiding places. Outside, we treat eaves, window frames and the foundation where spiders and the insects they eat gather.
When to call us
- Brown spiders with a violin-shaped mark in closets or the garage
- Glossy black spiders with a red mark near the meter box or wood pile
- Webs on eaves, porch lights and window frames

How do I reduce spiders at home?
Store items in sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard, keep clothes and shoes off the floor in closets and the garage, shake out gloves and boots before use, and move bedding away from walls. Fewer insects around porch lights means fewer spiders, so try yellow bulbs outside.
