How can I prevent wolf spiders in the future?
Keeping wolf spiders out of your house is easier than trying to get rid of them once they’re already inside. These tips will help you prevent wolf spiders:
- Seal entry points into your house, such as cracks, gaps, and holes.
- Install screens on your windows and doors, and make sure they are free of holes or tears.
- Make sure that no other pests are present in your house.
By making it difficult for wolf spiders to get into your house and by giving them no reason to want to get into your house, you can keep wolf spiders out of your house.
-
How do I get rid of wolf spiders?
If you start finding wolf spiders in your house, you can try to get rid of them as you see them, or you can contact the professionals at Gecko Pest Control. We offer spider control services to rid your home of its wolf spider problem. More importantly, we can help you determine if your wolf spider problem is the result of another pest problem. If it is, we can help resolve that pest problem to ensure your home is pest-free.
-
Where will I find wolf spiders?
Wolf spiders like to spend the majority of their time in out-of-the-way areas. You won’t see them hanging out in the middle of your kitchen floor. If they get into your house, they’ll spend most of their time on the ground level or in the basement. They’ll stick to the edges of rooms, stay under furniture, or find other spots where they can hide.
When outdoors, wolf spiders have similar habits. They don’t want to be out in the open, so they are usually found under rocks, leaves, woodpiles, or other items.
-
Why do I have a wolf spider problem?
Wolf spiders usually come inside while hunting for food. Although your home is not their first choice for lodging, if they get inside, they might decide to stick around, especially if there are plenty of pests available for them to eat.
-
Are wolf spiders dangerous?
Wolf spiders are primarily considered a nuisance pest. Although they can bite humans, they rarely do unless provoked. Even then, a wolf spider bite shouldn’t cause any serious or lasting harm.
When they remain outdoors, wolf spiders can be considered beneficial pests since they help lower the populations of other pests. If they get into your house, it could be a sign of another pest problem, so although you don’t have to be too concerned about finding a wolf spider in your house, you should be aware that their presence might indicate a more serious pest problem.
-
What are wolf spiders?
Wolf spiders are large spiders that are dark brown with lighter markings on their bodies and legs. Female wolf spiders are larger than males, growing to almost an inch and a half in size. With solid bodies and thick legs, wolf spiders are often hairy, which adds to their frightening appearance.
Unlike most spiders, wolf spiders do not build webs to catch their food. Instead, they hunt their prey by chasing them down, much like wolves do. Wolf spiders are fast runners, which aids them in their ability to overtake the pests they eat.

How can I prevent yellow paper wasps in the future?
Wasp prevention is the key to avoiding a yellow paper wasp problem in the future. We recommend making your property as unattractive to wasps as possible. Pick up fallen fruit, remove other food sources, and get routine exterior pest control to make your property a place where a queen wasp won’t want to build her nest in the spring. During the summer, make sure your windows have screens, caulk around any openings into your house, and pick up after outdoor meals to avoid having yellow paper wasps get near or into your home.
If you have a problem with yellow paper wasps, wasp removal is available from Gecko Pest Control. Contact us today to get rid of your yellow paper wasp problem and to learn more about our residential and commercial pest control services in Longview and Marshall.

How do I get rid of yellow paper wasps?
Paper wasp nest removal is the key to getting rid of the yellow paper wasps on your property. However, this is extremely dangerous to try to do on your own. The nest can hold up to 200 wasps, most of which will do what they must to get you to go away. If you want to avoid being stung many times over, you should leave the removal to the trained professionals at Gecko Pest Control. We will not only safely remove your yellow paper wasp nest but will also apply products to make sure the entire colony is eliminated.
-
Where will I find yellow paper wasps?
Yellow paper wasps typically build their nests in aerial locations because they are built to hang from an object, such as a tree limb, the eaves of your roof, or a porch ceiling. These nests are paper-like in appearance, which is how paper wasps got their name. They are also shaped like an umbrella. If you have yellow paper wasps flying around your property, take a walk around and look up to try to locate where they are coming from.
-
Why do I have a yellow paper wasp problem?
Knowing what attracts wasps can help you understand why you have a yellow paper wasp problem. Paper wasps eat nectar and insects. When the queen starts her colony in the spring, she’ll begin to build her nest in a location where there is a good food source. If you have a thriving flower garden or a lot of insect activity on your property, you might attract yellow paper wasps. Once a nest is nearby, the paper wasps in the colony will be drawn to scented perfumes and food that is left outside.
