Woodpiles against the house
A woodpile on the wall is a spider apartment block next to your siding. We treat around it and will suggest moving it a few feet out.

Where they live
Six Places Spiders Live Around an Older Edmonds House
Spider control in Edmonds is mostly about harborage: the undisturbed spots where spiders settle near a steady supply of insects. These are the six we go after on every visit.
Old sheds and outbuildings
Quiet, dark and rarely disturbed. We de-web the doorways and eaves and treat the corners where funnel webs build.
Crawl space access and vents
Undisturbed for years on many older homes. We treat the access points so spiders living underneath are not walking up into the house.
Window wells and basement windows
Leaves collect, insects follow, and funnel webs fill the corners. We clear them out and treat the edges.
Ivy and shrubs on the siding
Cover right against the house. We treat the foundation line behind it and point out what to trim.
Porches and eaves
Older Edmonds porches and deep eaves are prime orb-weaver territory in fall. Webs come down by hand, anchors get treated.
The question everyone asks
Funnel Webs and the Hobo Spider Question
Funnel webs in the window well and a big brown spider in the basement send a lot of people looking up hobo spiders. Here is the honest answer, from the arachnologists at Seattle's Burke Museum.
A Funnel Web Does Not Mean a Hobo Spider
Many different spiders build funnel webs, including the grass spiders in your lawn and the giant house spiders in your garage. A funnel web, a chevron pattern or boxing-glove palps are not enough to name the species.
Most Big Brown Ones Are Giant House Spiders
Telling a hobo spider from its look-alikes takes a microscope. What matters more: house spiders pose no significant danger, and we treat funnel weavers the same way whichever one it is.

What Customers Say About Our Spider Control
"Anthony did a detailed job on the inside and outside of our home ridding spiders webs and spraying to minimize future ants/bugs. Very professional and customer service oriented pest control company. Highly recommend. We got dramatic results in two visits and now do monthly maintenance to keep the critters away."
"The spiders are finding another place to live besides all over our house now! Owen did a great job explaining how their service repels unwanted pests and hours later the house was web and spider free. I highly recommend their friendly service."
"Brian came to my door and did an amazing job walking me through the service. I had been using TriGuard for a few years and decided to make the switch. Service was very thorough, and I'm very happy to be supporting a local business. 10 stars!"
Questions, answered
Edmonds Spider Control Questions
-
Is the Spider in My Edmonds Basement a Hobo Spider?
- You cannot tell by looking, and neither can we. The Burke Museum in Seattle notes that identifying a hobo spider takes a microscope; patterns, palps and funnel webs are not enough. Most big brown spiders indoors are giant house spiders. The treatment is the same either way, so you do not need to know.
-
Are Funnel Web Spiders Dangerous?
- The funnel weavers in Edmonds homes and yards, giant house spiders and their relatives, are not a significant danger. The Burke Museum says house spiders pose no significant danger to people, children or pets. They are just fast and startling.
-
Why Does My Older Edmonds House Have So Many Spiders?
- Older homes have more of what spiders like: woodpiles, sheds, crawl spaces nobody opens, window wells, ivy and deep porches. Less disturbance and more insects means more spiders. Clearing that harborage does as much good as treatment.
-
How Much Does Spider Control Cost in Edmonds?
- Most spider work is part of a regular exterior program, priced on the size of the house and how much harborage there is to treat. We give you the number before we start.

- Someone is out within 48 hours, and Edmonds is a short run down from our Lynnwood base. You get a text about 30 minutes before the truck arrives.
