Spider Identification & Prevention

Spiders are recognizable arachnids that come in a range of sizes, patterns, and colors thanks to an impressive species diversity. All spiders have eight legs, six to eight eyes, and fangs that deliver varying amounts of venom to their victims. There are many different kinds of spiders around the United States, but some that you are likely to encounter in Georgetown, TX, include house spiders, wolf spiders, tarantulas, black widow spiders, and brown recluse spiders.

If you need help with spider identification, contact Georgetown Pest Control.

Spiders are frightening pests to encounter, and if you are seeing spiders everywhere on your property, you may be dealing with a major problem. Most spiders are harmless and will avoid humans, but some species, like black widow and brown recluse spiders, need to be treated with extreme caution. Both of these spider species deliver painful bites that may result in serious symptoms requiring medical attention.

Additionally, all spider bites may trigger allergic reactions and cause pain, itching, and swelling. It’s important to get rid of spider infestations to avoid these dangers.

Spiders are most often attracted to properties with plenty of pest prey to feed on, secluded areas indoors or outdoors to shelter, and excess moisture. If you are seeing more spiders on your property, it may indicate you are accidentally attracting infestations of this arachnid. An increase in spiders is often a sign of another underlying pest issue.

Spiders are commonly seen outdoors hiding around piles of debris, in overgrown grasses, or underneath decks and patios. Inside, you may see spiders hiding in garages, attics, basements, crawl spaces, or secluded areas like closets and cabinets.
