What are the Risks of Spider Infestations?
Spider Bites
Not all spiders are harmless; some species can bite when threatened. Violin and jumping spiders may cause localized pain, swelling, or rashes, while some individuals experience allergic reactions. Though most bites are mild, rare cases require urgent medical care.
Just as mosquito bites can trigger complications in sensitive individuals, bites may pose serious risks without proper attention.
Spider Venom
The black widow spider, marked by its red hourglass, carries neurotoxic venom that causes muscle cramps, nausea, and breathing issues.
The brown recluse, or violin spider, delivers cytotoxic venom that damages tissue and leads to necrotic lesions. These venomous spiders require immediate pest control measures to protect people and property.
Disease Transmission
They can also transmit bacteria or parasites through bites, posing health risks to humans and animals. One common example is Parasteatoda tepidariorum, the American house arachnid, often found in cluttered basements and attics.
Known for building dense, silken traps, these arachnids can increase household exposure to pests, making professional inspection and pest control an important preventive measure.
Allergic Reactions
Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to spider silk, hair, or venom. Symptoms can range from mild rashes and hives to swelling or difficulty breathing, and severe cases may require medical care. Because of these risks, timely treatment services and professional pest control solutions are essential.
Our experts can identify species, assess infestations, and apply safe, targeted solutions to protect people, pets, and property effectively.
What are the Common Spider Species in Greater Memphis and Northern Mississippi?
Black Widow
Black widows are recognized by their glossy black color and distinctive red hourglass marking. They prefer dark, sheltered spots such as wood piles, riverbed rock areas, crawl spaces, and garages. Their venom requires professional removal using EPA-approved control products.
Brown Recluse Spider
Also called violin spiders, brown recluse have a distinct violin-shaped marking on their carapace. They thrive in undisturbed areas like attics, closets, and basements. Though not aggressive, their venom can cause necrotic lesions, making professional inspection and treatment essential.
Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders are large, hairy arachnids with strong legs and chevron markings. Unlike web-building species, they actively hunt at night. While their venom isn’t deadly, bites can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, making professional inspection and control beneficial.
