Spider Control

While spiders are beneficial arthropods that survive by feeding on insects, their presence is often a cause of concern to many people. Spiders are feared because of their creepy appearance and movements, habit of building webs in and around the home and painful bites. There are a few spiders whose bite requires medical attention including the black widow and brown recluse.

Spiders differ from insects in that they have eight legs (as opposed to six) and only two body regions (rather than three). Spiders typically have between six to eight eyes, often arranged in two rows. Some spider species capture prey by using silk and venom while others are active hunters that ambush or capture their prey, overpower and use venom to immobilize them.
