Lewisville Spider Infestation — Identifying the Risk Level
Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders are the reason professional spider assessment matters in Lewisville. Both species are present across the US, both deliver medically significant venom, and both are easy to overlook in the undisturbed areas where they prefer to live. A professional inspection confirms what species are present and what risk level they represent.
The harborage zones we treat most frequently in Lewisville are garages, basements, crawlspaces, and exterior perimeter areas with vegetation, wood piles, or debris close to the structure — conditions that support both spiders and the insects they feed on.
Recognising Black Widow and Brown Recluse Spiders
Black Widow: glossy black body with a distinctive red hourglass marking on the underside of the abdomen. Prefers dark, undisturbed areas — garage corners, wood piles, meter boxes, and outdoor furniture. Brown Recluse: light to medium brown with a violin-shaped marking on the upper body. Found in cardboard boxes, closets, basement clutter, and behind stored items. Do not attempt to handle or trap either species — call a licensed specialist.
