Make a Payment
Does the thought of spiders with eight hairy legs crawling around your home alarm you? Do you find nuisance spider webs in windows, behind furniture and even stretched across doorways? If so, you are not alone. Our homes are inviting locations for spiders to spin their webs in search of prey. No one likes sharing their home with such creepy invaders, especially those of us with arachnophobia.
Although many species represent little serious danger to humans, there are two species of yellow sac spiders native to New York that possess a necrotic venom capable of seriously harming humans and the bite of the commonly found wolf spider can be quite painful. Apart from the native New York spiders, an untold number of hostile invaders can be brought in with the groceries, such as banana spiders, brown recluse and even black widows. Often the more common nuisance to a homeowner than even the venomous bite of the spider however are their webs that give a home an unkempt feel.
How to Recognize a Spider Infestation
One clear sign of a spider infestation is of course a proliferation of their webs in corners of your house, stretched across doorways or filling dark, wet areas. Some species of spiders tend to seek out wet environments, so check sink, piping, attics and basement areas for signs of their webbing. Also look for where their primary food source of insects can be found. Another sign of a spider infestation are their egg sacs found in corners, under furniture and in other secluded areas. Least pleasant among the signs of a spider infestation are painful bites, often to the toes and feet while sleeping.
Consequences of a Spider Infestation
Spiders may bite when they feel threatened, especially when found in shoes, clothes or bed sheets. While most spiders will work to keep the insect population in check, painful, itchy spider bites are an unpleasant cost of this service. In addition, a house infested with spiders will quickly become covered in nuisance webs that can annoy and disgust any who run into them and provide a generally dirty feel to the home.
