Get Rid of Wolf Spiders in Your Home
Wolf spiders are one of the most commonly encountered spiders in and around the home, and one of the most unsettling. Known for their large size and fast movement, wolf spiders don’t rely on webs to catch prey. Instead, they actively hunt, which means homeowners often see them moving across floors, walls, or outdoor spaces.
While they are not considered dangerous, frequent sightings can quickly become stressful and uncomfortable.
Croach® Pest Control uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to identify where wolf spiders are hiding, eliminate active populations, and reduce the insect activity that attracts them. By addressing both spiders and their environment, we help provide longer-lasting results.
Do You Have A Wolf Spider Infestation?
Wolf spiders are often identified by their behavior rather than their webs. Homeowners typically notice them moving quickly across floors, especially in lower levels of the home.
Sightings may increase in basements, garages, crawl spaces, or near entry points such as doors and windows. Because they hunt rather than build webs, there may be little visible web activity, making direct sightings the most common sign.
In some cases, homeowners may also notice increased insect activity, which can attract wolf spiders indoors. If you are seeing spiders frequently, you need to call in the professionals to remove them before they make a permanent home nearby.
DIY Prevention Tips for Wolf Spiders
There are several steps homeowners can take to reduce the likelihood of wolf spider activity, particularly in ground-level and outdoor areas.
To help prevent wolf spiders:
- Keep basements, garages, and crawl spaces clean and free of clutter
- Avoid leaving items stored directly on the floor in undisturbed areas
- Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and foundations
- Repair damaged screens and ensure doors close tightly
- Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects near entry points
- Maintain your yard by trimming vegetation and removing debris near the home
- Limit insect activity indoors by keeping surfaces clean and dry
Because wolf spiders follow their food source, reducing insect activity is one of the most effective ways to limit their presence. If sightings continue, professional treatment is the best next step.

Spider-Free Home!
Paul did a thorough check for spiders around the house. He performed a barrier spray inside the garage and around the foundation, including windows and doors, as we are preparing for spring.

No Webs Or Spiders!
Since starting the Croach service a couple of years ago, I've had zero issues with inspections, spiders, and rodents. I have had no spiders inside my house. I no longer have webs under the eaves of the house, and there are no wasp nests. Highly recommended!

Learn All About Wolf Spiders From The Experts
The more you know about wolf spiders, the better you can keep them out of your home. Here are some common questions our customers ask about our spider control services:
Wolf spiders live throughout the U.S., from the peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the grasslands of the Midwest, wetlands to deserts, and even in lava tubes.
Specifically, they live in borrows - they can dig their own, or they settle into a crack or crevice in your home.
Wolf spiders belong to the family Lycosidae and typically range from 1 to 2 inches in length. Some species, though, will grow up to a four-inch span!
While they are not outwardly aggressive toward humans, they will bite when they feel threatened, and most of the time, you don’t even know you were threatening them.
In most cases, the bite area will turn red, and you will see two little puncture marks where the fangs stuck you. Reaction is generally mild, but like a bee sting, it can be more dangerous for some.
Wolf Spiders are the only known species to carry their young on their back. The female will wrap up the eggs in silk and then attach them to her back. When they hatch, the young will simply remain on her through their juvenile lives.
Up to 100 spiderlings can hatch and live on their mom for several weeks. But get this, if she’s startled, those little ones will scatter everywhere! Once they leave mom, they will find borrows of their own, and that is how an infestation takes root.
We see an influx of spiders in the home when the weather turns cold. They’ll creep in wherever they find a crack - under doors, at the foundation, anywhere they can.
You can minimize this invasion by filling any small cracks and replacing worn weather stripping. For other ways to keep these and other spiders from setting up residence in your home, check out our spider guide.
If you have spiders in your home, let’s set up a treatment plan and take care of the problem.
Croach® begins with a detailed inspection to identify activity areas and contributing conditions. Treatment focuses on targeted applications and reducing insect populations, along with prevention strategies.
