Ok, so let’s talk about spiders and their distinctive qualities, behaviors, and habitats, as well as whether or not they pose a health risk to you or your family.
Whether around your home, yard, or business, there are a few things about spiders you’ll want to consider, like are they weavers or hunters?
Although a few spiders (the black widow and brown recluse) are venomous, most spiders provide natural, non-toxic pest control by preying on insects that cause damage and/or transport diseases.
Although there are many varieties of spiders, all spiders have the same basic characteristics:
There are around 3,400 species of spiders in North America out of over 45,000 identified spiders on the planet.
The University of Idaho’s USA Spider Identification Data Base has many detailed images, descriptions, habitats, and venom toxicities of spiders found in the United States.
Spiders are predatory animals that kill and consume their prey. The manner in which they go about it, on the other hand, is dependent on the type of spider in question.

Spiders that construct sticky cobwebs to catch flying and crawling insects are known as weaver spiders. To subjugate their prey, about half of spider species create and employ webs.
Although all spiders have spinnerets for making silk, not all use them to spin webs. Hunters prefer to pursue their prey and overtake them. Once the victims are in their grasp, they inject venom into their bodies to kill them. The wolf spider uses a different approach, stalking out and ambushing its prey.
Spiders, which are almost entirely carnivorous, devour a wide variety of home pests, including flies, ants, moths, roaches, mosquitoes, and bed bugs, among others. They devour other spiders as well. Cannibals!
Spiders are at home in marshes, arid deserts, and urban environments. Some bury themselves in the earth, while others float on the water’s surface. Some choose to hide under rocks and woodpiles, as well as in damp cellars and basements.
It can be easier than you think to avoid a spider infestation. Because spiders, unlike ants, are not highly sociable creatures, discovering one in your home does not necessarily imply that there is more hiding nearby.
