We are all aware of the scary feeling that we get at the sight of unwelcome spiders in our homes. You might find these eight-legged creatures to be creepy enough but most of these spiders are harmless. Having spiders around in your house can be helpful in one way as they eat crickets, fleas, and several other smaller pests that invade your home. 

Having said that,  it is also worthwhile to mention that there are a couple of poisonous spiders that you need to be aware of. Click here to learn more about the most venomous spiders. In this post,  we will discuss spider bites and how you can get rid of them.

How serious can a spider bite be?

As already mentioned above,  most spiders are harmless and they rarely bite or harm people.  Spiders usually make poison but their fangs are too small to puncture the skin of human beings.  They are not insects but arachnids. They fall in the same category as Scorpions,  ticks, and mites.  all of these insects are eight-legged creatures that can destroy crops and eat other insects.

Names of the most dangerous spiders

You will be rather scared to know that there are 60 species of spiders found in America but only a few among them are dangerous to human beings. Here is a short list of the most dangerous spiders:

• Black widows: You can distinctly recognize these spiders due to the red hourglass shape on their bellies. These spiders build their webs in wood piles, outhouses,  and fences,  they are usually found in Southern and western America. 
• Hobo spiders: These are brown-colored spiders that have a V-shaped pattern and are grey in color around their bellies. They are Masters in building funnel-shaped webs in moist basements, wood piles, and window wells. This form of spider is mostly found in the Pacific Northwest.
• Brown recluses: This type is often called violent spiders or fiddle back spiders. They get this name because of the fact that they have a violin-shaped mark over their heads.  Brown recluses prefer sheltered and dry areas like leaves and rocks. They are most commonly found in mid-Western and Southern States. 

If you don’t want to be seriously harmed by poisonous spiders, you have to practice a pest control routine on a regular basis. You can even hire a professional pest control company for their tried and tested methods of pest extermination.
