House Spider Infested

Brown in color and measuring less than one inch in length, the common house spider is not dangerous. Brown house spiders tend to leave a profusion of dusty webs in inhabited homes and are considered housekeeping nuisances.

The domestic house spider may have a leg span of up to two inches. These arachnids are also brown and are often mistaken for hobo spiders, which are poisonous. Also known as aggressive house spiders, hobo spiders can cause local necrosis through their bite.

House spider infestations often indicate excessive humidity levels inside a structure. In addition to controlling humidity levels, one may repair screens and weather strips around windows, doors, vents and other openings to reduce chances of spider infestations. Constant sweeping and vacuuming is also advised as a method of discouraging their proliferation.

In the event of an infestation so severe that chemical measures are necessary, it is best to contact your local pest control professionals for a consultation. Many pesticides can be harmful to humans and pets if administered incorrectly.
