Spiders Bite With Reason
Many people are severely afraid of spiders. They often view them as precarious critters that will randomly attack. The truth is that spiders are natural pest control agents that prey on the insects we despise having in our homes. Although terrifying to many, they help control insect populations in households. Aside from this, spiders do bite humans.
However, they do so when they feel endangered, or trapped. For example, a situation in which a person would be susceptible to a bite from a spider if is caught in clothing. In this case because they feel confined, they will bite. Thus they bite in an attempt to protect. Spiders are often discovered in dark areas and spaces such as closets, basements, in gardens under shrubbery, garages, and many other dark corners.
Venomous Spiders
An infestation of spiders in your home, especially an enormous amount of them, can be very exasperating. Although there are many species of spiders in Canada, only a selected few are deemed threatening to our health. Wolf spiders, house spiders, cellar spiders, fishing spiders and rarely black widow spiders are found in Canadian homes. The top two venomous spiders in Canada are black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders. Having such spiders take over your home can be very devastating.
When brown recluse spiders bite, the pain is similar to that of a bee sting and following their bite is mild tissue destruction and discoloration of the bite area. These spiders are identified by the violin pattern on their back.
Venom injected by a black widow after it’s fangs have pierced your skin, can be very detrimental. It can result in dizziness, difficulty breathing, vomiting and various other symptoms. Black widow spiders are normally black and are recognized by a red hourglass marking on their back. In Canada though, infiltration of black widows in homes are rare.
Other Types of Spiders
Other species of spiders such as “daddy long legs” also known as cellar spiders, house spiders, wolf spiders and a few others, are not venomous spiders. Please note that these spiders do also bite for the same reasons, however their bites are less impactful. Instead, it is rather the presence of them in your home that is much more unsettling.
For those with arachnophobia, witnessing large spiders such as a house spider, wolf spider, or fishing spider, would send them running to the hills, as these spiders are quite extensive in size. Cellar spiders enjoy dwelling in colonies and building webs. Thus you can be certain that if spotted, there may be others in proximity.
