Spider Pest Control
If you have lived in Georgia (or the South), chances are that you have encountered more than one or two spiders. Walking into a web or cleaning up webs can be a nuisance and sometimes it can be down-right scary!
Spider Infestations
Dealing with a spider infestation in your home can be incredibly frustrating and unsettling. These eight-legged creatures can cause a range of problems that disrupt your daily life. From fear and anxiety triggered by their presence to the unsightly webs they weave, spiders can create a constant sense of unease.
Unwanted encounters, such as walking into a spider web or finding them in unexpected places, can be distressing. While most spiders are harmless, the potential for painful bites and allergic reactions adds to the frustration. Spiders can also attract other insects into your home, leading to secondary pest problems and health concerns. Their ability to hide and reproduce quickly makes it difficult to eliminate them without professional intervention.
What Dangerous Spiders Live In Georgia?
In Georgia, there are over 35 known species of spiders. There are a few species of spiders in Georgia that can be considered potentially dangerous if their bites are left untreated or if a person has an adverse reaction. The two notable ones are the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) and the black widow spider (Latrodectus spp.).
The brown recluse spider is known for its venomous bite, which can cause necrotic (tissue-damaging) reactions in some individuals. These spiders are usually light to dark brown in color and have a characteristic violin-shaped marking on their cephalothorax.
The black widow spider is another venomous spider found in Georgia. The female black widow is identifiable by its shiny black body with a distinctive red hourglass-shaped marking on its abdomen. Their bite can lead to severe pain, muscle cramps, nausea, and other systemic symptoms, especially in sensitive individuals.
It’s important to note that encounters with these spiders are relatively rare, and they usually prefer undisturbed areas like garages, basements, woodpiles, or outdoor structures. However, it’s advisable to exercise caution and take preventive measures to minimize the risk of encountering these spiders.
