Types Of Spiders You May Find In Your Home

Spiders are everywhere. There are many different species of these pests here in Havertown & the Philadelphia region. Some common types of spiders you should know about include jumping spiders, wolf spiders, cellar spiders, orb-weaver spiders, garden spiders, house spiders, black widow spiders, and brown recluse spiders. All of these local pests fall into two categories; ground spiders and web spiders. Ground spiders hunt insects and other prey from the ground, while web spiders build webs to catch their meals. Dealing with either one can be incredibly frustrating. The question is, do any local species pose a threat to your health?

Why A Spider Infestation In Your Home Can Be Problematic

Most common spiders that live in our area are completely harmless. Some have mild venom that will cause a slight pain reaction, and a couple has potent venom that may send you to a hospital. The two dangerous spiders you should know about are the brown recluse and the black widow. The good news is that most spider bites, including bites from these harmful arachnids, are dry bites. Dry bites are when fangs pierce the skin but do not inject venom, but do not bet on this. Real bites do occur, and people get hurt because of them. Call our professionals if you suspect a black widow or brown recluse is inside or around your home. We will help you identify these pests and get them out fast.
