Spiders are generally allies of humans. They are even dubbed as beneficial home pests because of the ability of their webs to trap mosquitoes, flies, and other pests that invade human life. However, not all spiders are friendly to humans. Read on to know more about spiders and how we can help you manage them.

Spiders Facts You Need To Know

Open doors, poorly screened windows, cracks and gaps around window frames and doors are the primary entryways of spiders into your home. Hitchhiking in boxes and other objects is another common way for spider to access your home or commercial establishment. Just like other animals, spiders move because they are searching for preys. You are lucky if they are friendly spiders, not so if they are the opposite.

Non-friendly spiders are those that can inflict painful bites to humans such as the wolf and mouse spiders, and those that are poisonous such as the redback and funnel-web spiders. Male Sydney funnel-web spiders and redback spiders have caused deaths in Australia in the past. Fortunately, anti-venoms for these spider bites are available. On the other hand, mouse spiders have toxic venoms. Although they have not caused any deaths in Australia, their bites have been reported to have severe effects on victims. These kinds of spiders are the reasons why certain spider control measures are necessary in some cases.
