What Kind Of Spiders Are Dangerous To Find In My Home?
Black widow and brown recluse spiders are considered the most dangerous spiders you will encounter in your house. Both types of spiders are generally non-confrontational and will seek to avoid contact with humans. Regrettably, both these types of spiders like hiding behind and under things in your house, and unfortunate encounters can occur. If either species of spider feels threatened, it will bite. The black widow spider has a venomous bite that can cause pain and discomfort for an extended period. The brown recluse spider, however, has a bite that can cause muscle, skin, and nerve tissue to die in a process known as necrosis. Children and pets are naturally curious and tend to have the most encounters with spiders.
You don't want to risk negative encounters with spiders, especially venomous ones. All-Safe Pest & Termite knows how to treat all different kinds of spiders. If you suspect that you have a spider infestation, call us, and let us help you get rid of them.
