Spiders can be a major concern for Fruitland homeowners.

Spiders are beneficial and harmful.  Beyond pollinating plants, they also eat garden insects that damage our fruits and vegetables.  However, spider bites are painful and can be deadly.  Most people have experienced a spider bite in their sleep. Without the benefit of being able to identify the type of spider that bit us, we can’t know if the bite will need medical attention until more symptoms develop.  Preventing and removing spiders living indoors is the safest method to protect yourself and family.

Interestingly, some spiders were not native to the United States, but arrived from another country in a shipping container.  It’s possible to be just as unaware that you’ve brought home a hitchhiking arachnid from Hidden Meadows Park.  If you have unwanted spiders in your home, call us right now for guaranteed removal.

Common Spiders

Black widow spiders get their name due to the fact that the females eat the males soon after they mate. Venomous, they can be identified by their black shiny bodies, which include a bright red hourglass marking on the underside of their abdomen. They range from 1½ to 1¾ inches in length and can be found throughout the entire United States.

Hobo spiders are also known as aggressive house spiders. As one of the three most venomous spiders found in the United States, the Hobo is brown with a yellow chevron-shaped marking on its abdomen. Easily distinguishable, they range from ½ to 2 inches long. They are most commonly found in the Midwestern and Southern states.

House spiders are typically brown or gray in color. They are small to medium in size, and range from ⅛ to ⅜ inches long. Males and females vary in their appearance due to their round or elongated abdomens and are found throughout the entire United States. Unlike their poisonous counterparts, house spiders are more of a common nuisance than a dangerous one.
