Spiders on Lake Ozark Docks: Steve's Pest Control Insights

Driving down to the lake house for the first warm weekend of the year brings such a thrill to mid-Missouri families. While you have been dreaming of days spent out on the water, soaking up the sun and relaxing with family and friends, mid-Missouri pests have been busy. Spiders have been building webs and nests, mosquitoes have been laying eggs, and wasps are beginning to build their hard-to-remove nests. An insect’s busy work will be your busy work too. When you arrive at your Lake of the Ozarks home, you may find yourself spending a lot of time cleaning and very little time enjoying yourself.

Call Steve’s Pest Control to Keep Spiders Off Your Dock at The Lake of the Ozarks

Is there anything quite as startling as walking around your dock and stepping directly into a near-invisible spider web? How about climbing the ladder onto your boat only to put your hand directly into a sticky tangle of spider webs and dead insects? For those of us who love spending time at the lake, we’ve all been there. While it might just seem like a dirty inconvenience, dangerous insects could be lurking in these webs.


Missouri is home to two poisonous spider species: the brown recluse and the black widow. These sneaky pests favor dark, unused corners like closets, storage boxes, or under tarps. Reaching for your lifejacket in the dock closet or storage box could result in a very dangerous bite. Protect your loved ones and yourself by eliminating dock spiders for good. Steve’s Pest Control’s Lake Services include an initial pest removal service like spider extermination, as well as additional monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly services after.

Prevent Pests from Taking Over Your Mid-Missouri Dock

Spiders aren’t the only problem you might face on your mid-Missouri dock. Other pests like wasps, hornets, mosquitoes, and ants love to hang out on your boat dock when you are not there. These pests are annoying, but also act as a buffet to those pesky spiders.
