Spider Control in Ellensburg
Nearly 15 Years Protecting Ellensburg Homes from Spiders
Ellensburg’s semi-arid climate and open landscape create ideal conditions for spiders year-round. Activity peaks in late summer and early autumn, when spiders move indoors ahead of cooler temperatures. That’s when calls to our team tend to spike. Most species are nuisance pests, leaving messy webs across siding, eaves, and light fixtures. But the presence of black widows in the Kittitas Valley makes professional identification and spider removal a safety issue, not just an aesthetic one.
Since 2011, Prosite has been Ellensburg’s spider exterminator for both residential and commercial properties. Our licensed technicians inspect your property, identify the species present, and apply targeted spider removal treatments built around spider biology, not the generic insect sprays most people try first.

Spider Species Active in the Kittitas Valley
Not all spiders pose the same risk, and treatment that works on one species doesn’t always work on another. Knowing what you’re dealing with is the first step. It’s also worth noting that a sudden spike in spider activity often signals an underlying insect problem. Spiders follow their prey indoors, so where spiders appear, other pests usually aren’t far behind.
Spider species active in our service area:
- Black Widows: Confirmed present in the Ellensburg area, black widows pose significant health risks, particularly to children and the elderly. Safe removal requires professional spider exterminator service.
- Cellar Spiders: These long-legged spiders build large, loose three-dimensional webs in basements and crawl spaces and are among the most common indoor species we encounter.
- Giant House Spiders: Among the largest spiders in the Pacific Northwest, giant house spiders are fast-moving and frequently alarm homeowners when encountered indoors.
- Hobo Spiders: Ground-level funnel-web weavers often misidentified as other species, hobo spiders are commonly found in basements and along foundations.
- Wolf Spiders: Large, fast-moving hunters that don’t spin webs, wolf spiders are generally less dangerous than they look. But they cause significant alarm and can be difficult to control without professional-grade products.
Beyond the safety concern, persistent web-spinning on siding, light fixtures, and vaulted ceilings creates an unkempt appearance that’s hard to stay ahead of without the right equipment and approach.

Spider Control FAQs
What Spider Species Are Common in Ellensburg?
The Ellensburg area is home to black widows, hobo spiders, cellar spiders, giant house spiders, and wolf spiders. Our spider control service covers all five, starting with a property assessment to confirm which species are present and where activity is concentrated.
How Do You Prevent Spider Infestations?
The most effective prevention combines eliminating insect food sources, sealing entry points, and maintaining conditions that spiders find inhospitable. Our tailored pest management plans address all three: entry points, food sources, and harborage conditions. We do this through routine inspections and customized maintenance schedules designed to help keep spiders out over the long term, not just after a single treatment.
Why Is Professional Treatment More Effective Than DIY?
Professional exterminators use equipment and formulations not available at retail, and our licensed technicians understand spider biology well enough to target the harborage sites that matter. We remove active spiders, destroy egg sacs to interrupt the reproduction cycle, and apply residual barrier protection. These are steps that contact sprays from a hardware store can’t reliably deliver.
Are Your Products Safe for Children and Pets?
We use eco-friendly products designed to minimize risk to people and pets while remaining effective against target species. Our technicians follow strict application protocols and stay current with environmental safety standards.

Skunks
Their most unique feature is their black body which has a white stripe starting at their head and divides into two stripes that travel down their entire body and tail. But, their most identifiable characteristic is the extremely foul odor that skunks spray from glands found at the base of their tail as a defense mechanism. If sprayed directly into a person's or animal's eyes the spray can cause temporary blindness.
Adult skunks grow to between 20 and 30 inches in length, with their tail adding 7-15 inches to their total length. Adults weigh between 2.5 and 11.5 pounds (i.e. the size of a small housecat).
*Limited services available for skunks.

Raccoons
Raccoons have many easily recognizable physical features including a black “mask” of fur that surrounds their eyes, fluffy black and gray ringed tails, and a hunched appearance caused because their hind legs are longer than their front legs. Their bodies are covered in dense salt and peppered colored fur. Raccoons may grow to up to three feet in length and weigh between 10 and 30 pounds.
