Typical Hempstead Pest Control Problems

Since trees surround the town of Hempstead, some residents notice spiders in or around their homes. Wolf spiders and house spiders are some of the most common spiders in the area. However, black widows and brown recluses can also be found. These two types of spiders are especially dangerous and should be reported to Fox Pest Control immediately. Spiders go inside  homes in pursuit of shelter, food, and water. They are usually found in dark and hidden areas like basements or attics.  Keep bushes or trees back several feet from your home in order to reduce the chances of spiders inside.
