Spider Control in Placerville
El Dorado County’s Longest-Serving Spider Exterminator
Placerville’s Sierra Nevada foothill setting puts homes and businesses in close contact with dense oak woodland, creek corridors, and forest edges. That landscape is prime spider habitat, and spiders don’t observe property lines. When Hangtown Pest Control was founded here in 1974, Rick and Linda Hoskins built the company on a simple principle: every treatment plan starts with the safety of children and pets. That principle guides current owners Daniel and Paola Fiedler just as firmly today.
As the oldest pest control company in Placerville, we’ve spent more than five decades treating the specific spider pressures that El Dorado County’s foothill environment creates. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a science-based approach that identifies the root conditions driving an infestation before selecting treatment methods. Every service we provide is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Why Placerville Homes Have a Spider Problem
Spiders thrive where food is plentiful, and Placerville’s surrounding oak woodland and creek drainages generate high insect populations year-round. Those insects draw spiders toward structures, where they establish themselves in garages, crawl spaces, attics, and undisturbed interior corners. Black widow spiders are present throughout El Dorado County and pose real health risks to people and pets, favoring dark, sheltered spots like garage interiors, woodpiles, and utility boxes.
A spider infestation is also frequently a signal of a broader insect prey population inside the structure. Treating spiders without addressing those conducive conditions can allow populations to rebound, which is exactly why our IPM-first process looks at the full picture rather than defaulting to a single spray application.

Our Spider Control Process
Every spider control job starts the same way: an inspection. We examine the exterior and interior of the property to locate active spider populations, identify entry points, and assess conducive conditions like clutter, moisture, and vegetation contact with the structure. That information shapes the treatment plan rather than defaulting to a one-size-fits-all spray.
Exterior Perimeter Treatment
Our exterior perimeter treatment helps intercept spiders and the insects they prey on before they reach the interior. We offer a spray-only exterior option as well as a premium service that adds web and nest removal. Web removal matters because webs signal active harborage and egg sac presence. Clearing them disrupts the population cycle and removes a visible indicator that can draw more spiders to the same locations.
Eco-Friendly Products & Follow-Up
We use eco-friendly treatments that include essential oil-based products selected for use around children and pets. Follow-up visits focus on exterior treatments; interior treatments are available upon request. For ongoing protection, recurring monthly services are available, and residential pest management plans start at $60 per month after an initial service fee. Emergency pest services are also available when the situation can’t wait.
Why Placerville Residents Choose Hangtown Pest Control
Longevity matters in pest control. Rick Hoskins began working in the industry in 1968, and the Placerville business he founded with Linda has operated continuously since 1974. Daniel Fiedler brings over 10 years of pest control experience to his role as current owner. That depth of knowledge shapes how we approach every spider exterminator call: methodically, with an inspection before any product touches your property.
We’re one of the largest family-owned pest control businesses in the El Dorado County area, and we hold a BBB A+ rating and membership in the National Pest Management Association (NPMA). Our Best for Less promise means you get high-value service, customer care, treatments, products, and prices in every interaction. We stay current with pest control innovations as a standard practice, so the methods we use today reflect current science, not habits from decades past.

Commercial Spider Control in Placerville
Spider presence in a commercial setting isn’t just a nuisance. In food service, healthcare, and childcare environments, a visible infestation can trigger regulatory concerns, customer complaints, and liability exposure. Hangtown Pest Control serves daycares, hospitals, restaurants, and commercial buildings across the Placerville area with IPM-based programs adapted to each facility’s specific needs and sensitivities.
Our commitment to child and pet safety makes us a practical fit for high-sensitivity environments like daycares and healthcare facilities, where product selection and application methods matter as much as service quality. Businesses near wooded or creek-adjacent areas in El Dorado County face higher ambient spider pressure than urban properties and may benefit from more frequent scheduled treatments. We build commercial programs around your facility type, occupancy patterns, and regulatory requirements rather than applying a residential plan to a commercial space.
