Wolf Spiders
Large, hairy, brown spiders that hunt on the ground instead of spinning webs. They often wander into basements and garages in the fall. They look scary but are not dangerous to people.
Spider Extermination
Spider Extermination in Hillsborough NJ and Somerset County
Spiders in the basement, garage, or living spaces are one of the most common calls we get from New Jersey homeowners. Most house spiders are harmless, but a lot of spiders usually means a lot of the insects they feed on. Endeavor Pest Control treats both, for homes and businesses across Hillsborough Township and Somerset County. Call (732) 515-7900 for a free inspection.

Know Your Pest
Common Spiders in Hillsborough and Somerset County
Cellar Spiders
Pale spiders with long, thin legs, often called daddy longlegs. They hang in loose, messy webs in basements, crawl spaces, and corners.
Common House Spiders
Small, brown to gray spiders that build tangled webs in corners, windows, and behind furniture. They are the spider most often found indoors.
Jumping Spiders
Small, compact spiders with large front eyes that hop instead of crawl. They are often seen on windowsills and siding.
Northern Black Widows
Shiny black with red markings on the underside. They are native to New Jersey but uncommon. They hide in woodpiles, sheds, stone walls, and garages, and their bite needs medical attention.
The Risks
Why Spiders Need Professional Treatment
Most spiders in New Jersey homes are harmless, but black widows do live here, and nobody wants spiders in their bedroom or their kids' play area. A large spider population is also a sign of a bigger problem, because spiders go where the food is.
Knocking down webs and spraying the spiders you see only works for a few days. Real control means treating the entry points, corners, and harborage areas where spiders live and cutting down the insects that attract them in the first place.

When Spiders Are Most Active in Hillsborough NJ
Spiders are active outdoors from spring through fall in Somerset County, building webs around windows, porches, and outdoor lights where insects gather. Late summer and fall bring the most indoor sightings. Male spiders wander in search of mates, and cooler nights push wolf spiders and others inside. Treating the exterior in late summer helps keep them from following you in.
How to Keep Spiders Out of Your House
- Seal gaps around windows, doors, and utility lines, and repair torn screens.
- Add door sweeps to exterior and garage doors.
- Switch outdoor lights to yellow bulbs, which attract fewer insects.
- Vacuum webs and egg sacs regularly, especially in basements and garages.
- Store items in sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard boxes.
- Move woodpiles, rock piles, and debris away from the house.
- Trim shrubs and plants so they do not touch the siding.

FAQ
Spider Control FAQs
Answers to the questions Hillsborough homeowners and businesses ask us most.
Still have a question?Call (732) 515-7900
How do I keep spiders out of my house?
Seal gaps around windows, doors, and pipes, repair screens, and add door sweeps. Cut down on outdoor lighting that draws insects, keep clutter and cardboard out of basements and garages, and move woodpiles away from the house. Fewer insects means fewer spiders.
How do I get rid of spiders in my house?
Vacuum webs and egg sacs, reduce clutter, and seal the gaps spiders use to get in. If spiders keep coming back, treating baseboards, corners, and exterior entry points, along with the insects they feed on, is the most effective long term fix.
Are house spiders dangerous?
Almost never. The spiders most often found in New Jersey homes, like house spiders, cellar spiders, and wolf spiders, are not dangerous to people. Northern black widows are the exception. They are uncommon, but their bite needs medical attention.
Are there brown recluse spiders in New Jersey?
Brown recluses are not native to New Jersey and are rarely found here. Most spiders mistaken for them are harmless brown spiders like wolf spiders or grass spiders. If you think you have found one, we can identify it for you.
Why do I see more spiders in the fall?
In late summer and fall, male spiders wander in search of mates, and cooler nights push spiders toward warm shelter. That is why basements, garages, and ground floors see more spiders this time of year.
