Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. Even for those that do not suffer this condition, the appearance of spiders in your home is alarming. In addition to making your family and any guests you have uncomfortable, they spin sticky webs along your ceiling, in corners, and around cabinets spaces that require constant cleaning. Depending on the type of spider infestation, their bite can lead to serious health problems. To protect yourself, get Amco Ranger Termite and Pest Solutions on your side.
Common Spiders In Lake St. Louis
Spiders are common throughout Missouri and the wet, wooded climate in Lake St. Louis naturally draws them to our area. Outdoors, the University of Missouri advises that spiders can be beneficial in terms of feasting on other potentially harmful pests. Unfortunately, they can end up making their way into your home. Once inside, they create elaborate webs and expose you and your loved ones to painful and potentially dangerous spider bites.
At Amco Ranger Termite and Pest Solutions, our Lake St. Louis spider control experts help to eliminate this problem. Common types of spiders our technicians typically find in this area include:
- Daddy long legs: While not a true spider in that they have no fangs or venom and do not spin webs, they can invade your home in large numbers.
- Common house spiders: These grey spiders are often mistaken for black widows and are common in residential areas.
- Cellar spiders: As their name implies, these light tan spiders can be found in dark, dank areas of your home.
- Ambush spiders: These are black, furry spiders that jump up to 50 times their body length.
- Wolf spiders: These brown spiders are likely to prowl through your home and have legs as long as four inches.
- Brown recluse: These have a distinct violin-shaped marking on their back and are one of the most poisonous spiders.
- Black widow: One of the most notorious of spiders due to their deadly poison, these are black with a red hourglass shape on their back.
Lake St. Louis Spider Infestations
The above is just a partial list of common spiders in our state. With more than 300 different types in our area, the Missouri Department of Conservation warns that they can be hard to identify on your own. Unfortunately, when you do spot one, it likely indicates more are hiding somewhere. Spiders can live two or three years on average, with some breeds surviving even longer periods. Females lay upwards of 1,000 eggs with each pregnancy. At this rate, a single spider can quickly multiply into a complete infestation.
In addition to their sticky webs and scary appearance, one of the biggest concerns with infestations is the risk of spider bites. Even among those that are considered non-poisonous, their venom can leave you with painful or itchy bumps and welts. In more severe cases, medical treatment is required and recuperation can take as long as several months. Rather than putting yourself or your loved ones at risk, get our Lake St. Louis spider control experts on your side.
