Why Do I Have a Spider Problem?

There are a few reasons why you might have a spider problem. Typically, female spiders will enter a home or business in search of a safe place to give birth, male spiders will enter a property in search of females to mate with, and all spiders will enter a property when they can sense that other pests are present. Spiders often feed on other pests (such as flies, moths, mosquitoes, and cockroaches), which means that a spider infestation usually indicates that there are more pests infesting the property.

Where Do Spiders Like to Hide?

Spiders like to find secure places where they can build their webs. They typically go for dark, harder to reach areas where they feel safe, but are still confident that they can attract their prey. This means they often choose to stay in places such as corners, closets, garages, sheds, crawlspaces, and basements, and around light fixtures, doors, and windows.

Are Spiders Dangerous?

While there are around 23 different types of spiders in Arkansas (including house spiders, garden spiders, dark fishing spiders, Carolina wolf spiders, and more), only two of them are poisonous.

They are:

• Black widow spiders: Black widow spiders are easily recognizable by their red hourglass shape on their abdomen. While the fatality rate for black widow bites is low, their bites are 15 times stronger than those of rattlesnakes. Common side effects of black widow bites include muscle aches, nausea, and troubles with breathing.
• Brown recluse spiders: While brown recluse spiders are known to be one of the most dangerous types of spiders in the U.S., there are no recorded fatalities associated with their bites. However, brown recluse spider bites can take up to three weeks to heal and can produce side effects such as painful sores, fever, nausea, chills, joint pain, and weakness.
