Spider 101: Identifying The Spiders In Your Home
If you're wondering which spiders from the list above commonly invade households, they are the wolf spider, house spider, cellar spider, widow spider, and brown recluse spider. These spiders range in color from tan, gray, light brown, and black. Multiple species within the widow family reside in the area, but of course, the most recognizable is none other than the black widow spider. Don't get close enough to any spider in an attempt to identify it. Even though most spiders aren't aggressive, they will bite if you bother them.
It's best to leave the identification to professionals with a background in handling all types of spiders. Contact pest management specialists in your area for further assistance.
Do All Spiders Bite Humans?
As intimidating as they look, most spiders aren’t as harmful to people as many believe. Spiders don't behave aggressively towards humans and usually only bite if they feel threatened or provoked. Even black widows and brown recluses considered the most dangerous spiders in North America, don’t go on the attack looking for humans to harm. Those two spider species have fangs that can penetrate human skin, which makes them a danger, especially if you’re allergic to their venom. But if it were up to them, spiders would rather not be bothered with human interaction as they’re solitary creatures that relish their alone time.
However, harmless or not, encountering multiple common household spiders around your home is unsettling. Therefore, get in touch with your local pest control for a comprehensive inspection.
