Spiders are creepy crawly creatures with eight legs! There are lots of different kinds of spiders. They can be black, and some even have bright colors like red mark on their back. They have six or eight eyes so that they can see in lots of directions. Spiders are small and generally under3.5 inches. The girls are usually bigger than the boys. The biggest type of spider is a tarantula. Some spiders have venomous fangs, but most do not.
How do spiders make webs?
Spiders are special creatures because they can spin silk webs. Their special glands make proteins that go through two spinnerets in their tummies. The silk is very strong and can stretch for a long time before it breaks. Different spiders build webs in different ways, but the webs all
have tether points that hold them in place and give the spider a safe spot to wait for food.
What are the types of spider webs?
● While there isn’t a particular scientific amount that has been documented, these are the five main types of webs: Funnel web
● Tangled web (aka the cobweb, most common around your house)
● Sheet web
● Orb web (like a wheel with spokes, the kind you might see morning dew on)
● Sperm web (relatively small, used for mating)
Ground spiders (Gnaphosidae)
A family of spiders called wolf spiders live on the ground. They are red, gray, or brown and hunt their prey with their good eyesight. They are big and hairy, and like to hide under rocks, logs, or other things on the ground.
Redness, pain, and swelling are typical symptoms of a harmless spider bite. If you’ve got flu-like symptoms including but not limited to the following, medical attention is highly recommended:
● Nausea
● Chills or fever
● Cramping
● Tremors
● Sweating
● Skin ulcer with dead skin around it
It’s best to be careful, so if you or someone in your family see any of the signs from a poisonous bite, talk to a doctor.
If you see a spider with a red hourglass shape on its back, you might be looking at a black widow. Don’t try to touch it! Even though it won’t normally kill you, its bite can still cause a lot of pain and hurt. It can make you sick, cause nerve damage, and be more dangerous for kids and
older people. If you find one, give us a call right away.
The brown recluse spider can be seen in many places in the United States. From Texas to Florida and up to Ohio, these spiders are usually living outside, like in rotting tree bark. But, they can also be found inside if there is old cardboard or something similar lying around. If you get bit by one of these spiders, you should go to the doctor right away. It’s not usually deadly, but it can cause some damage to the area of the bite. If you find one of these spiders in your house, garage, or yard, contact us for help.
● American house spiders
● Brown recluse spiders
● Hobo spiders
● Long-bodied cellar spiders
● Wolf spiders
● Black widows
Many people know that some spiders can be dangerous. But most spiders that we see every day won’t hurt us. All spiders have venom, but it isn’t usually strong enough to make us feel more than a little bit of pain or itchiness. In fact, spiders help us by eating other bugs that we don’t want in our homes. Even so, it’s ok if you don’t want them in your house and prefer to keep them outside.
If spiders are a problem, there are some steps you can take to keep them away. An exterminator near you may need to be called if the issue is bad, but you can help. To make sure spiders don’t bother you, do things to prevent them from coming around. If you think the spiders are too much, contact us to get your home or business treated to get rid of them.
