Pest - Spiders

Spiders often are seen as ugly, threatening creatures. These eight legged, non-insect arthropods elicit fear and revulsion. Yet, they are a part of our every day world. They are viewed as beneficial when they capture insects but seen as pests when found inside the house.

Many different spiders live near or inside the homes and buildings. Some are beneficial, killing flies crickets or other insects, while others also pose a serious health risk to humans. Although being not aggressive, the brown recluse spider – Loxosceles reclusa is one of those dangerous pests.
