Expert spiders in Boston, MA

Spider activity is a common problem for homeowners and renters across Boston, Dorchester, Somerville, Cambridge, and the surrounding communities. Wolf spiders, house spiders, cellar spiders, and black widows are all found in the area. Boston's older triple-deckers, brownstones, and wood-frame homes give spiders plenty of places to settle. Damp basements, cluttered storage areas, and utility openings in aging foundations create ideal hiding spots. Spiders also follow their food source, so a visible spider population often signals other insects are already present inside the home. At Lighthouse Exterminators LLC, we inspect both the interior and exterior of your property. We identify the species, locate nesting areas, and treat the spaces where spiders are active. We also look at what may be drawing them in. Owner Dan Davis built this company on a commitment to honest service and affordable pricing, so you always know what we found and what we did about it. Call us to schedule your spider inspection across Boston and all surrounding service areas.

spiders FAQ

Common questions about spiders in Boston, MA.

Yes, a professional can identify the spider species and locate nests you may not find on your own. Boston's older homes have many hidden gaps and damp spaces where spiders nest and multiply.

Most spiders in the Boston area, like house spiders and cellar spiders, are not dangerous to people. Black widows are present in Massachusetts and their bite is a serious concern, so any spider you cannot identify should be evaluated by a professional.

Spiders move into damp, dark basements because those spaces offer shelter and easy access to other insects. Older homes in Dorchester and Somerville often have cool, moist basements that are especially attractive to cellar spiders and wolf spiders.

Spiders follow other insects into a home, so if flies, moths, or other pests are present, spiders will come in after them. Gaps around windows, doors, and foundation lines in Lynn and Revere homes give spiders easy entry points.

Yes, we serve Newton, Peabody, Danvers, Woburn, Malden, Melrose, and many other communities beyond Boston. Call us to confirm service for your specific address.

Spider activity in the Boston area tends to increase in fall as spiders seek shelter and mates before winter. Spring also brings rising activity as insect populations grow and spiders move in to feed.

I cannot recommend Dan and Lighthouse Exterminators highly enough. We were dealing with a terrible rat infestation in our home in JP, and after hiring another company that charged us a fortune and accomplished virtually nothing, we were frustrated and desperate for a solution. Dan was a breath of fresh air. He came out almost immediately and, rather than simply setting traps and hoping for the best, took the time to understand the problem and figure out how the rats were getting into our house. He suggested that we request a free sewer smoke test from the city—something the first company had never even mentioned—which ultimately pinpointed the source of the infestation. Dan then returned, sealed the opening, and exterminated the remaining rats. Throughout the process, Dan was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in solving their problems. His pricing was also extremely reasonable. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would recommend Lighthouse Exterminators without hesitation to anyone dealing with a pest problem.

We're so grateful our friends recommended Lighthouse Exterminators for our seasonal spray treatments. Dan is incredibly thorough and has made a noticeable difference in reducing the number of mosquitoes on our property. He's also been treating our yard for ticks, which has given us even more peace of mind when spending time outside with the kids and our dog. Dan is a pleasure to work with- professional, reliable, and reasonably priced. We truly appreciate his excellent service and highly recommend Lighthouse Exterminators to anyone looking for effective, dependable pest control.

After calling 8 other pest control services I found Lighthouse. They were the only ones who could get the job done (removing a hornets nest) on the same day. They were very efficient and responsive and also had the most reasonable price. Highly recommend.
