Common Insects & Problems
Spiders
Spiders are more than a creepy-crawly nuisance—they can be venomous to humans.
Some of the most common causes of spider infestations include:
- Cluttered or Dirty Rooms - Spiders like to hide where it’s dark, cluttered, or dirty. If you have a room that goes unused, give it a quick vacuum and clean once per week. This will ensure that any spiders, webs, or eggs are whisked away before they create a larger problem.
- Excess Moisture – Bathrooms are a common home for spiders because they are attracted to moisture. If you have a waterfront home or a pool in your yard, your home is also more susceptible to creepy crawlies.
- Food Sources – Keep the kitchen and any other food sources sealed up and stored away. Spiders look for easy access to food, and if you’re offering, they will take advantage.
No matter how much care we take in preventing spiders, they can still make their way into you Fort Worth home. If you do suspect a spider infestation, it is important to call before the population gets out of hand. Call our experts if you suspect a spider infestation in your home or on your property.

Ticks
Like mosquitos, ticks can burrow in and agitate the skin and have the chance to transmit diseases. To keep everyone at home healthy from ticks, call Wildlife X Team®.
Where do ticks come from?
Ticks live on grasses and trees. It’s easy to bring them home after a day outside. When you brush up against grass that has a tick on it, the tick will stick to your body. Left unnoticed, the tick will burrow into your skin and can cause Lyme disease.
Pets are common culprits for bringing ticks inside. You may find the ticks on your bed, sofa, or other surfaces in your home. Because ticks carry diseases, it’s important to have professionals eradicate them before anyone gets sick.
Wildlife X Team® Fort Worth will eradicate ticks in your home and keep your home safe from their diseases.
