How Dangerous are Spiders?
Every spider has 8 legs, but each species come with distinctive sizes and colors. Jumping, wolf, and house spiders are the most prevalent in Ontario. Most spider bites cause mild irritation to the skin. This varies depending on the individual bitten. However, some bites are more dangerous. The brown recluse spider is common in this part of Ontario and is poisonous. Precautions should be made when relocating a spider from the interior to the exterior. Do not pick a spider up with bare hands without knowing the species and the threat it may cause. Wolf spiders could potentially bite humans with harmless venom. House spiders are even less of a threat, but the sight of webs in the corners of your home could result in fear if you have arachnophobia. Drake Pest Control focuses on exterior treatments preventing infestations from entering the interior.
Can I Treat Spiders Myself?
Sure! Sort of… For the odd spider in your bathroom, basement, kitchen, or other common areas, simple tissue paper will work in the relocation of a spider. We DO NOT recommend vacuuming up spiders unless already killed, the spider will simply crawl out and could continue to multiply resulting in wasted efforts. At Drake Pest Management our technicians specialize in treating the exterior of your property early enough in the season to limit the growth rate and sightings of spider activity during the peak summer months. A good time to be proactive for spiders is April thru September. For any questions or for spider identification, contact us by email or fill out our Contact Form. A trained exterminator will be in touch very shortly!
