Spider control, Brown recluse, Black widow spiders
Spiders are considered a beneficial insect because of their
prey to other insects.
However their are two North American species that
are dangerous to humans: Black Widow and Brown Recluse.
Most spiders are
harmless, but we do include recommended treatment and products at the end
of the section.
BLACK WIDOW
The female has a shiny black, globular abdomen with two yellow
or red markings in a triangle shape. It looks like a hourglass. Males are
smaller, lighter in color, with light streaks on the abdomen. The web is
irregular, many times found along exterior foundations on slabs, under stones
and rocks, behind shrubs .They usually don't into structures .They will bite
if provoked. The bite feels like a sharp pain ,like a needle puncture. After
15 minutes to an hour there will be muscular cramps. Bites are rarely fatal,
but you should seek medical attention.
