Where Spiders Hide Around Holdeman Homes
Black widows prefer dark, undisturbed spots close to the ground. In Tempe, that usually means garages, sheds, block wall gaps, under patio furniture, inside irrigation boxes, and behind stored items along side yards.
Other common spiders, like cellar spiders and wolf spiders, show up in corners, closets, and around windows. Most are harmless, but nobody wants webs across the front door every morning.
Holdeman homeowners who use their garages for workshops or storage tend to notice spiders most. The more stuff stored, the more hiding places there are.
- Garages and storage sheds
- Block wall gaps and caps
- Under outdoor furniture and grills
- Irrigation and meter boxes
Holdeman Pest Control That Gets Into the Corners
Spiders are best controlled by treating where they live and cutting down on the insects they eat. Our technicians remove webs, treat eaves and corners, and pay special attention to garages and storage areas. They also treat for scorpions, which use many of the same hiding spots.
Because our techs are paid by the day, they can take the time to treat behind things, not just around them.
Holdeman pest control from Green Magic also includes treating for crickets and other insects, since fewer insects means less food for spiders.
Tips for Garages and Sheds
Store items in sealed plastic bins instead of cardboard, keep things off the floor when possible, and wear gloves when reaching into boxes. Weatherstripping on garage doors also helps keep spiders and scorpions out.
If you see spiders or scorpions between visits, call us and we will come back at no charge. Our eco-friendly products are safe for kids and pets once applied.

How can I tell if a spider is a black widow?
Female black widows are shiny black with a red hourglass on the underside. They build messy, irregular webs near the ground in dark spots. Bites are uncommon, but it is still smart to wear gloves when reaching into dark spots.
Do you treat inside garages and sheds?
Yes. Garages and storage areas are a major focus of our spider and scorpion treatments. We treat corners, shelving edges, and the base of the garage door where pests slip in.
What does bi-monthly service include?
Exterior perimeter and eave treatment, entry point work, interior treatment when needed, and free re-treatments between visits. Plans begin starting at $45 monthly for homes up to 2,500 square feet.
