Understanding Wolf Spiders with All Clear Pest Control
At All Clear Pest Control, we recognize that wolf spiders are quite common, usually keeping to grassy areas outdoors, but they can sometimes wander inside accidentally or take shelter during colder winter months. They average around 35mm in length (a little under an inch and a half) and tend to be black, grey, and brown, resembling the hunters for which they are named.
Identifying and Managing Common Spiders in Your Home
While people fear the black widow and the wolf spider, several other spiders may take up residence in your home. These include the yellow sac spider, common house spider, cellar spider (also commonly known as daddy-long-legs), and garden spiders.
Even though some of these spiders are non-venomous and pose no threat to you or your family, you do not want to allow them to infest your home. Spiders reproduce rapidly if left unchecked.
If you are struggling with a spider infestation, All Clear Pest Control can help. Our Elk Grove spider control specialists are fully trained and licensed. We have the knowledge and experience to handle any pest problem, including all types of spider infestations.
We will inspect your home, identify the main points of entry and problem areas, and perform professional extermination and removal services. As a full-service pest control company, we can also provide you with the routine pest control service needed to prevent future spider infestations.
Tips for Preventing Spider Infestations
To minimize the chances of a spider infestation in your home, consider the following preventive measures:
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for gaps or cracks around windows, doors, and foundations. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these openings.
- Reduce Clutter: Spiders thrive in cluttered areas. Regularly clean and declutter spaces such as attics, basements, and storage rooms.
- Outdoor Maintenance: Keep your yard tidy by trimming shrubs and trees away from your house. This reduces hiding spots for spiders and other pests.
- Proper Lighting: Use yellow or sodium vapor lights outdoors, as these attract fewer insects, thereby reducing the food source for spiders.

The Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders are actually quite common, usually keeping to grassy areas outdoors, but they can sometimes wander inside accidentally or take shelter during colder winter months. They average around 35mm in length (a little under an inch and a half) and tend to be black, grey, and brown, rather like the hunters for which they are named.
Though wolf spiders are not known for causing property damage, nor are they a significant threat to people, they may bite if they feel threatened. These spiders are sometimes confused for brown recluse spiders, but can be differentiated by their swift, bold motion. While wolf spiders can be seen out in the open, brown recluse spiders rarely leave the safety of their dark hiding places.
Wolf spider habitats range fairly broadly, and may include:
Similar to the black widow, the wolf spider is not aggressive, and bites are relatively rare. They also tend to eat unwelcome insects. That said, any creature appearing in large numbers should be addressed by our Elk Grove spider control technicians quickly and decisively.
Other Common Spiders
While people fear the black widow and the wolf spider, several other spiders may take up residence in your home. These include the yellow sac spider, common house spider, cellar spider (also commonly known as daddy-long-legs), and garden spiders.
Even though some of these spiders are non-venomous and pose no threat to you or your family, you do not want to allow them to infest your home. Spiders reproduce rapidly if left unchecked.
