Summer is here and that means bug season is in full swing. A B Pest Control and Insulation can help with all your pest and insulation needs, including your dock. Spiders are the number one pest problem when it comes to docks. The lake area is in the midst of its rainy season, which brings out a variety of different spiders, such as the orb spider. As your #1 pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can help you avoid and get rid of any infestation one may encounter with the orb spider.
Orb Spiders
Orb spiders, or commonly known as garden spiders, are named because of their web-spinning behavior. They make the classic, round "orb" web that most people associate with spiders. There are many species of spiders that fall under the orb spider family. The orb weaver family varies drastically in size and appearance, more so than any other spider family. Typically, the female orb weaver spider has a large golf ball like abdomen and a smaller head. Other common female shapes include long legs and bright colors. Male orb weavers are much smaller than their female counterparts and are not seen as often, as they do not spin webs.
Warning Signs
Orb spiders typically stay anywhere with abundant prey and structure to support their web. Food for orb spiders vary but typically include small insects they catch in their webs. These can often be located near bodies of waters, which is why orb spiders are found on docks. Orb spiders will build their webs on supporting structures that protect them from the wind, like the beams on the cover of docks. Female orb weavers produce one or more egg sacs and each sac may contain up to several hundred eggs.
