Identifying spiders in Selma
Most Central Texas spiders (wolf, jumping, orb weavers) are harmless. The two medically significant species are the brown recluse (small, violin-shaped marking) and black widow (shiny black with red hourglass).
Behavior & habitat
Recluses hide in undisturbed spots — closets, attics, shoes, behind furniture. Widows nest in garages, sheds, and outdoor clutter. Both bite only when pressed against skin.
Why spiders are a problem here
Recluse bites can cause necrotic tissue damage. Widow bites cause severe muscle pain, cramping, and sometimes systemic reactions.
Selma seasonal outlook: Spider activity rises from spring through fall as insect prey increases, with indoor sightings often climbing after weather changes.
Why Selma homes get spiders
Selma sits in Bexar, Comal & Guadalupe Counties, where long triple-digit summers, mild winters, and sudden heavy rain give spiders a nearly year-round runway. Irrigation cycles, shaded landscaping, and standing moisture keep spider activity high even when the yard looks dry, which is why our Selma programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On Selma routes, our technicians track spider activity back to eaves, window frames, and porch corners where webbing collects, garage jambs and storage clutter, weep holes and gaps behind exterior fixtures, and shrub lines that grow into the siding. We treat those pressure points directly — targeted perimeter applications, void treatments, monitored bait or trapping placements, and exclusion work — so the population drops instead of shifting a few feet down the wall.
“Most Selma spider calls we run aren't a mystery — the conditions are right and nobody closed the gaps. We find the pressure point, treat it, then come back and verify. If it moves again, so do we, on our dime.”
Signs of a spider problem
- • Webbing in corners, garages, eaves, and outbuildings
- • Egg sacs (papery white spheres) in protected areas
- • Live spiders during inspections of closets and storage
