Why Do I Have A Spider Problem? 

A spider problem may start around your home when you have many of the factors that attract this pest on display. Every spider species, from common household spiders to more dangerous spiders, are attracted to areas that offer plenty of safe shelters, easy access to pest prey for food, and an excess of moist or humid conditions. Take time to evaluate these factors around your property and narrow down where conditions might be conducive to spider infestations. Contact Green Flash Pest Control to help you with this process if you aren’t sure where to locate spider problem areas.

Is It Dangerous To Have Spiders In My House? 

While most spiders don’t pack a punch with their bite, it can be dangerous to have spiders in your home for many different reasons. To begin, spider bites can be dangerous, and if a large infestation is taking over your home, the more chance you have of receiving a bite.

A spider bite can leave you with nothing more than a painful, itchy bump, or it may cause other serious symptoms such as rash, itching, nausea, fever, vomiting, and anaphylactic shock. Experiencing trouble breathing, swallowing, or receiving a bite from the medically dangerous black widow or brown recluse spiders should be met with immediate medical attention.

Furthermore, pest-prey infestations generally accompany spider infestations because the prey draws the spiders to your property as a food source. With additional pest prey infestations running wild in your home, you are also at risk for several health and safety issues, such as contaminated surfaces, disease risks, and property damage by pests.
