Spiders SignalA BiggerProblem.

Spiders don't just appear randomly — they follow their food source. A spider infestation almost always means you have an underlying insect problem. Broadway Pest addresses both — eliminating spiders and identifying the pest pressure that's attracting them, so they don't come back.

Spider species worldwide — 3 dangerous in NYC

Most NYC spiders are harmless nuisances. However the brown recluse and black widow — though rare — do occur in NYC. Any unidentified spider infestation warrants professional identification.

The Threat

What you're
actually dealing with.

🕸

Spiders Follow Their Food

Spiders are predators. Their presence in large numbers indicates a robust insect population in your space — flies, gnats, ants, or other arthropods that spiders are feeding on. Eliminating spiders without addressing the underlying food source produces temporary results at best.

NYC

Urban Entry Points

NYC's aging building stock creates abundant spider entry points — gaps around pipes, window frames, basement vents, and utility penetrations. Spiders enter from exterior vegetation, neighboring units, and common areas. Perimeter treatment and entry point sealing are essential for lasting control.

⚠

Identification Matters

The vast majority of NYC spiders are harmless. However, brown recluse spiders have been documented in NYC in imported goods and shipping containers, and black widows are occasionally found in basement spaces. Any spider you can't identify should be treated with caution. We identify species as part of every assessment.

Our Protocol

How we
eliminate it.

Every Broadway Pest treatment follows a documented protocol — assessment first, treatment second, follow-up third. No guesswork, no generic spraying.

01

Species identification

We identify the species present before treatment. Harmless house spiders, cellar spiders, and jumping spiders are common in NYC. Treatment protocol varies by species and infestation severity.
02

Web and egg sac removal

Physical removal of webs and egg sacs is included in every treatment. Egg sacs can contain hundreds of spiderlings — removing them is as important as killing adults.
03

Residual perimeter treatment

Residual insecticide applied to entry points, basements, window frames, and exterior perimeter. Creates a barrier that kills spiders on contact for weeks after treatment.
04

Underlying pest assessment

We assess and treat the insect population that's attracting spiders. If fungus gnats, flies, or ants are the food source, addressing them prevents spider re-infestation.

Operational Protocol

How we execute.

Assessment & ID

Identify spider species, infestation zones, and underlying food source insects.

Web & egg sac removal

Physical removal of all visible webs and egg sacs throughout affected areas.

Residual treatment

Perimeter and entry point treatment with residual product. Crack-and-crevice application in harborage areas.

Food source treatment

Underlying insect population treated to remove the food source attracting spiders.

Service Journey

What to expect
start to finish.

No guesswork. Here's exactly how our spider program works — what you do before we arrive, what happens during the service visit, and what to expect after we leave.

Phase 01

Before We Arrive

→Remove visible webs in common areas using a broom or vacuum — this reduces egg sac counts and gives the technician a clearer baseline
→Note where you are seeing the highest concentrations: corners, window frames, basement corners, exterior eaves
→Exterior: trim vegetation away from the building foundation where possible — plants provide harborage and attract the insects spiders feed on

Phase 02

During Service

→Full inspection of interior and exterior to identify spider species and assess severity — most spider infestations are a symptom of underlying insect pressure
→Treatment applied to harborage sites: window and door frames, eaves, crawl spaces, basement corners, and exterior perimeter
→Residual product applied to surfaces where spiders travel, including behind appliances and inside wall voids where indicated
→Egg sacs identified and removed; web removal service included
→Service documentation created noting areas treated, products used, and any underlying insect pressure identified

Phase 03

After We Leave

→Leave residual product undisturbed for at least 72 hours — do not wipe treated surfaces
→Vacuum and clean normally after 72 hours; re-application of cleaning product will require retreatment
→Activity should decrease significantly within 1–2 weeks
→Addressing the underlying insect prey population with a companion treatment dramatically accelerates spider elimination
