Characteristics Of Common Spiders
There are lots of spiders. Here in Columbia, two different kinds of spiders invade homes; ground spiders and web spiders. Ground spiders typically have wide-set bodies and thick legs and sometimes come with hair. These pests hunt for their prey from the ground and are incapable of spinning webs. Web spiders typically have smaller bodies and bulbous abdomens and are often hairless.
For help identifying what common spiders are inside and around your Columbia home, consider scheduling it for a thorough pest inspection. Our team would be more than happy to visit you and help with identifying what potentially dangerous spiders are causing your problems.
Some Spiders Are More Dangerous Than Others
There are only two species of dangerous spiders in South Carolina, the brown recluse and the black widow. Both of these harmful arachnids have potent venom that causes severe pain. The brown recluse has a necrotic venom that sometimes causes an ulcer to form at the site of the bite. If this ulcer becomes infected, the pain will get worse. A black widow’s venom does not cause ulcers but can trigger neurological problems. If one of these pests bites you, seek medical attention immediately. Although most bites are not life-threatening, deaths occur, and we want you to do everything in your power to avoid this kind of serious injury.
