Ready to get rid of spiders in your home?
Knowing the different species of spiders is not exactly common knowledge.
They can be found in different sizes, colors, and shapes making it difficult to identify the specific species they are. In the case that you are able to identify your pesky intruder, do you know its behavior and diet? Below is some additional spider information.
The 7 most common house spiders
Out of the most common house spiders in Missouri, two are venomous and those are the brown recluse and the black widow. They can be identified with either a violin-shaped mark (brown recluse) or a red hourglass shape (black widow).
American House Spider
Hobo Spider
Woodlouse Spider
Cellar Spider
Wolf Spider
Brown Recluse
Black Widow
Where do they come from?
One of the first questions our spider exterminators ask when you start noticing any pests is, “where are they coming from?” Spiders normally make their way into homes through cracks, windows, air vents, doors, garages, or any other opening they may find. They can even find those small holes where your cables or pipes connect to your house. Spiders can also be found on clothing, or other items brought in from outside.
What is their behavior and diet?
Spiders follow where their food source goes. That’s why when you start seeing other insects, spiders are normally not too far behind, and a spider pest control expert should be called. As they migrate inside, following their food source, they find either a wet or dry, dark area to hide depending on the type of spider. Ones that prefer a moist space find basements, bathrooms, or crawl spaces to hide. Spiders that prefer drier spaces look for air vents, attics, and room corners.
