Spider control in Ditmas Park: what to know
Ditmas Park is famous for its intact Victorian houses — freestanding wood-frame homes with large yards, mature trees and original foundations that are quite different from the urban apartment stock nearby. This housing type brings more ant, stinging-insect and carpenter-ant pressure than denser areas.
The Cortelyou Road commercial strip is a lively restaurant and café corridor; food-waste pressure from the strip feeds rodent populations that enter the surrounding Victorian homes through gaps in old foundations and wood-frame siding.
Mature tree canopy over the residential streets means squirrel and bird pressure for attic and soffit entry points, and seasonal stinging-insect nest building in the large overhanging eaves of the Victorian homes.

How we treat spider control in Ditmas Park
Most NYC spiders are harmless, but webs in corners, basements and windows are unsightly and a sign of other insect activity (spiders go where their food is). Reducing spiders means reducing the insects they hunt and treating the gaps they enter through.
We treat entry points, remove existing webs and harbourages, and address the underlying insect activity drawing spiders in — and we identify any species that warrant extra caution.
