Spider Education
Spiders are arthropods that can be found in our service area. They belong to the Araneae order and have eight legs and up to eight eyes. Another thing to note is that spiders have fangs that allow them to inject venom into their victims. Today, more than 40,000 spider species have been identified, but not all of them are located in your area. Spiders can build webs by extruding silk from their bodies. They’ll use their webs to trap and kill prey. The type of prey they target depends on the size of the spider. Larger spider species can kill lizards and birds, but you likely won’t encounter those spider species.
You’ll also find spiders that kill small insects and other spiders. Spiders can live alone, but some of them do not. Some spiders build communal webs and live with 50,000 other spiders. On average, a spider will live up to two years, but it can live much longer in a protected location. Adult females tend to be much bigger than males. However, males have larger mouthparts so they’re often easy to recognize.
Another thing to note is that you’ll be more likely to find male spiders in your home. They travel during the mating season to find mates, so they may enter your home by mistake.
Dangers Linked To Spiders
How dangerous are spiders? Most people believe that they’re one of the most dangerous species on the planet, but they’re not. In most cases, a spider bite will be harmless. It’ll hurt and you might bleed, but it shouldn’t cause other problems. More than 90% of spider bites are harmless. There is always a risk that the victim will experience systemic toxicity, necrotic wounds, and death. If you get bit by a spider, you may need to visit a medical professional.
Why Spiders Invaded Your Home
Why would spiders invade your home? Ultimately, the reasons are immense but difficult to pinpoint. In some cases, male spiders are entering your home because they’re searching for female spiders. In other cases, they’re searching for warmth or food.
