Cats play with them and my dog eats them. Pet Safe Pest Control is a leading expert in providing safe, green, eco-friendly pest control services to pet owners.

Yes, pets can be bitten by brown recluse and black widow spiders, although it seems to be a fairly rare occurrence. In the South and West, your pet is more likley to be bitten by a snake than a spider.

The real danger to our pets comes from the chemicals we use to control the spiders and other bugs. There have been thousands of cases of chemical poisoning of pets in the past. Today’s pest control products are much safer than the products available even ten years ago. Yet this poisoning can still happen. Pet Safe Pest Control knows your very young and very old pets are the most at risk.

Indoor spraying for Spiders needs to be very carefully done. Only base boards and hiding places should be sprayed. Treating every square inch of the floor space of a house is uncalled for. Our pets live on these floors and the effects of their cumulative exposure to these chemicals have not been studied well.  Least toxic dusts in attics and crawlspaces should almost always be done. Other Green and organic methods of spider control include changing the habitat around your house to make it unfriendly to the insects that spiders hunt. If there is no food for the spiders, they will not be there. Spraying the whole yard to control spiders is a waste of chemicals and harms the environment.

Pet Safe Pest Control knows how to exterminatethe spiders and other bugs using Green methods that will not harm your pets or the other back yard wild life.
