"I called Justin Ludy, the owner of Palmetto Wildlife Extractors, based on a recommendation from the pest company I have used for many years. We made an appointment. During the time they were to be at our house they had an emergency call that required more time and manpower and they were not able to keep our original appointment date. Justin told his Michael, one of his employees, to make another appointment and correct our problem without charging. The work was completed very well. I later called Justin to send him a fee but he refused and made the work a gift since he said they had disrupted my day when the original appointment was not kept. I certainly appreciated his professinalism and concern for his customers. "

The main reason wolf spiders gravitate towards houses is the presence of their prey, including insects like flies and ants. Their attraction is also heightened by the availability of suitable shelter in areas cluttered or undisturbed and in moisture-rich environments like basements. Openings and gaps in the structure provide an easy access point for these spiders. During cold weather, wolf spiders may also seek warmth indoors, making your home an attractive refuge during harsh weather conditions.
