Question:

I really have no idea what category to put this in..Recently i have noticed a lot of spiders in my house?

most are orange and a couple are really big and brown. My husband said the brown ones kind of look like a brown recluse. do these sound poisenous?and how do i get rid of them?and why are they here all of sudden, i had never noticed them before?


Answers:

I'm not sure what the orange spiders are. The brown spiders, if they also have a sort of violin shaped body are the brown recluse spiders.

You may see them more than usual if there has been any digging around your home. I also noticed that if we have a very wet season there are more spiders attempting to get into the house. Any climate change seems to disturb them.

I was once bitten by a brown recluse spider on my lower leg. It made me very ill. My entire leg ached like a toothache for 3 days.

If you are ever bitten by them, see the doctor right away. I waited 3 days before visiting the doctor and there was nothing he could do. He told me if I had come in right away he could have given my a nitoglycerin patch for it and it would have helped.

Most insect sprays will only kill a spider if it is directly sprayed on the spider. They will not prevent the spider from entering your home in my experience.

I did get rid of those pesky little creatures using an ultrasonic pest repeller. There are several models available. Make sure it states that it will work on spiders and not just rodents.

Hardly ever see a spider in my house anymore and it's been several years since I installed them. Before installing them I would see spiders on a daily basis. Just plug them in the outlets. I have one in every room Thery're great! There are many different types available.

Good luck!
