Spiders can be a major concern for Kuna homeowners.

Unless you’re watching a play of Arachnophobia at the Kuna Performing Arts Center, you probably don’t want to be anywhere near these creepy-crawlies.  Some spiders are dangerous, some are pests, all of them, however, are unwelcome guests. (You can use that line in your musical, Kuna High School students).  Please take advantage of our blog to educate yourself on DIY removal and prevention of common household spiders in Kuna, Idaho.  If you have concerns about correctly identifying and controlling spiders in or around your home, our best in class treatments and technicians are ready to remove them for you.

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.
