Spider Types
Black Widow
They are easily identified by their jet black color and the red hour glass on their abdomen. Black widow webs appear asymmetrical and messy. Black widow spiders are venomous, yet rarely fatal. Victims of a black widow spider bite will often experience nausea, difficulty breathing, and muscle aches. Black widow spiders are one of two venomous spiders found in Texas. If you see this spider contact pest control services to help eliminate them for good spider control.
Brown Recluse
This worrisome spider is sometimes referred to as the fiddle back or violin spider because of the violin-shaped marking on its back. They are incredibly venomous and should be treated with caution. Brown recluses often live in wood piles, sheds or other dry and usually undisturbed places. They also gravitate toward cardboard. If you have seen a brown recluse, give your pest control services a call right away for fast spider control. It would also be wise to get rid of any wood or cardboard piles that may be lying around your property.
Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders can grow to an enormous size - well over an inch long. They are scarier looking than most species of spider, but their bites are not considered medically dangerous. They do not spin webs, but instead, live in burrows or crevices. They have excellent eye sight, and if you look closely, two of their eight eyes are significantly larger than the others. The mothers carry the egg sac on their abdomens, and then after the spiders hatch, the mother carries the babies on her back for several days.
House Spider
The common house spider has a bite although it is not considered dangerous to humans or pets. They are often mistaken for a brown recluse. House spiders are non-aggressive.
