Spiders

Are spiders dangerous?

Like the wolf spider, most spider species are not harmful to humans, though they may cause discomfort and occasional bites. While wolf spider bites are not dangerous, venomous spiders like black widows or brown recluses are a genuine concern. Bites from these spiders can cause significant neurological or tissue damage. If bitten by a brown recluse or black widow spider, seek immediate medical assistance.

Why do I have a spider problem?

If spiders have made themselves home on your property, they may have been there for quite some time. Spiders often hatch or reside on your property for extended periods. When they venture out to find a mate, you may notice their presence and realize the extent of the spider infestation. Spiders may enter your home if there is an insect problem, as they follow their prey. Once inside, they may lose their way back out or choose to stay if there is an abundant supply of insects to feed on.

Where will I find spiders?

Contrary to popular belief, spiders prefer to avoid areas with high human activity and are generally reclusive. They seek out hidden spots such as corners, attics, shelves, wall spaces, and closets. Outdoors, spiders can be found under rocks, logs, sheds, and trees.
