WHY JEFFERSON CITY?

Area Conditions that Support This Critical Pest

Only two types of potentially lethal spiders reside in the U.S. Unfortunately, both call Jefferson City home. The brown recluse spider is one of them, and though its bite is rarely fatal, it is still painful and can result in many negative side effects. Brown recluse spiders love Jefferson City for its climate, thriving in our area's warm, humid summers, and hiding away in the warm, dark corners of homes and outbuildings during Missouri's bitter winters. If a brown recluse finds its way into your home, it will probably take residence in a dark corner or drawer, so always use caution before blindly searching through drawers or throwing on a winter coat from the depths of your closet. These spiders also love to hide in cardboard boxes, so remove any unnecessary boxes from your home to reduce the risk of running into this pest. It's also a good idea to contact your local Jefferson City pest control provider to get professional treatment in removing these spiders.
