WHY MILLVILLE?

Area Conditions that Support This Critical Pest

The black widow spider is one of the few venomous spiders found throughout the U.S., and the only one found in the state of Delaware. As a part of the Atlantic coastal plain with a climate ranging from continental to humid subtropical, Millville provides the ideal conditions for its survival. The northern black widow is found almost exclusively in Mid-Atlantic states, though it does occasionally travel outside of this area during mating season from April to May. While the black widow's bite is venomous, it's rarely fatal, other than in some cases involving young children, elderly people, small pets and people who experience a rare allergic reaction. The northern variety of black widow looks a little bit different than its relatives to the south; this variety occasionally features white stripes along its sides and a row of red spots down the middle of its back. You may find a black widow living near your home, especially on patio furniture or dark corners of your porch or garage. This spider rarely finds its way inside of homes, but it is possible, and it usually takes residence in a rarely used closet or storage room. To ensure that black widows aren't posing a threat within your home, you should contact a reliable pest control provider in Millville.
