Spider Risks

Although most spiders are harmless to humans, spider bites from certain species like the Black Widow and Brown Recluse can pose serious risks. Black Widow bites can lead to severe pain, muscle cramps, and other systemic symptoms, while a Brown Recluse bite can cause necrotic skin lesions that require medical attention. These spiders, though not typically aggressive, will bite when they feel threatened, making it imperative to manage their presence in and around your home.

Spider Species We Treat

Orb Weaver Spiders

These are a diverse group of spiders well-known for their elaborate, wheel-shaped webs. Though generally harmless to humans, they can become a nuisance due to the extensive webbing they can create in and around homes.

Wolf Spiders

These ground-dwelling spiders are easily identifiable by their robust, hairy bodies and their propensity to run swiftly to catch prey rather than use a web. They frequently enter homes and can be startling due to their large size.

Black Widows

Easily recognizable by the iconic red hourglass shape on their abdomens, black widows are notorious for their venomous bite. While they prefer undisturbed areas, they can become a serious issue if found in homes or businesses.

Brown Recluses

These are small, venomous spiders, known for their violin-shaped marking on the back. They tend to hide in seldom-disturbed places and their bite, although rare, can cause significant tissue damage.

Cellar Spiders

 Also known as daddy long-legs, these spiders have long, thin legs and small bodies. They prefer damp conditions and often inhabit basements, crawl spaces, and other similar areas, leading to their common name.

Grass Spiders

These spiders construct funnel-like webs in grass and low vegetation. They are common in gardens and can often be found around the exterior of buildings but are not considered dangerous.
