Spiders
- Spiders are arachnids and made villains in many movies and books. Their bad publicity, appearance, and fast, startling movements cause many to fear these pests. While spiders shouldn't be allowed to live in our homes or take over our outdoor spaces, most aren't dangerous to people and are eco-important. Spiders are exceptional hunters and help to control populations of flies, cockroaches, garden pests, and many other insects. Without spiders and other predators, insects would take over our outdoor spaces and destroy our crops and gardens.
- Spiders use their fang-like mouthparts to paralyze their insect prey by injecting them with venom. Spiders aren't aggressive but will bite people if they feel threatened or to stop themselves from being squished. Most spiders have venom only potent enough to harm their insect prey, not people; a spider bite usually results in pain and redness around the bite site. Unfortunately, not all spiders are harmless. Dangerous spiders like the brown recluse and black widow spider have venom potent enough to harm people and require medical attention to treat the symptoms.
- The best way to avoid problems with spiders in your yard and home is to reduce the populations of their insect prey on your property. Please call today to learn more about the year-round home pest control services necessary to solve your property's spider problems.
