Clean the Siding First, Then Protect It for the Season
Wondering if you should power wash your house or book spider spraying? The most effective strategy is combining both. If your exterior has heavy dirt, algae, or stubborn dried-on webs, we recommend professional power washing prior to treatment—followed by Spider Squad's residual barrier to keep it web-free all season.
Power washing and professional spider spraying are not competitors—they are the perfect two-step combination for total exterior home maintenance. Power washing restores the aesthetic appearance of your siding, while Spider Squad delivers the invisible chemical defense that prevents spiders from ruining your newly cleaned home.
If your property has baked-on spider feces, heavy dirt, or stubborn webs stuck in stucco or brick pores, power washing or soft washing creates a pristine, clean canvas.
Once dry, Spider Squad applies a PMRA-registered micro-encapsulated barrier that bonds to siding, eaves, and window casings to stop new spiders from colonizing.
Your siding stays sparkling clean and web-free for 60 to 90+ days without the frustration of spiders rebuilding webs 48 hours after washing.
Every Spider Squad service includes complimentary manual web sweeping with extension brooms for loose cobwebs. However, in certain conditions, scheduling a dedicated exterior wash first is highly beneficial:
| Exterior Condition | Recommended Action | Why It Works Best |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Seasonal Loose Webs | ✔ Spider Squad Treatment Only | Our technicians sweep down loose webs and apply the barrier in a single visit. |
| Heavy Dried-On Webs & Stains | ✔ Power Wash First, Then Spray | High-pressure washing removes baked-on silk and dirt that brooms cannot lift. |
| Algae, Mildew & Siding Oxidation | ✔ Exterior Soft Wash First | Cleans organic staining before our chemical barrier is bonded to siding. |
| Freshly Power-Washed Home | ✔ Schedule Spray 24h Later | Locks in your clean siding and prevents spiders from immediately moving back. |
