Spiders
Brown Recluse
The brown recluse spider is not particularly aggressive. Most people who get bitten have
contacted the spider in clothing or shoes not which haven't been used for a period of
time. They typically can be found on the floor or behind furniture in areas which are
left undisturbed. Fatalities are rare, but bites are most dangerous to children, elderly,
and those in poor physical condition.
Black Widow
This well known and misunderstood pest is famous for its mating rituals where the
female kills and consumes the male after copulating. The male Black Widow spider is
smaller and totally harmless to man. The female is easily identified by the red
hourglass shape on the abdomen. Black Widow poison is 15 times more lethal than
rattlesnake venom; however, less poison is actually injected in a bite so far fewer
people die from spider bites. Black Widows prefer dark, humid places like wood piles,
basements, and crawlspaces. Modern pest control methods are very effective in controlling
and preventing spider infestations.
