Hate Spiders?

• There are lots of different kinds of pests people
  love to hate, but none have quite the level of
  passionate hatred standing behind them as the
  spider. Why it gets such a terrible reputation
  isnt an answer-able question.
• What we do know, though, is that Florida plays
  home to several of the 34,000 different species
  of spiders that live across the globe.

More than a glance

• Ready to take a deeper look at your winter enemy?
  Spiders all have four pairs of legs. They also
  have eight eyes. While theyre amazing jumpers,
  they have no wings to help them move from place
  to place. Florida has both poisonous and
  non-poisonous types of spiders, but the venomous
  ones (the brown recluse and black widow) have a
  tendency to hide from people.

Are they in my house?
Worried the army may have already invaded? If
they have, its pretty likely youre going to
notice them. Almost immediately, theyre going
to start building webs in your home to catch
dinner, so if you start to notice an abundance of
webs, you probably already have them in your
home.

So, Which ones are dangerous?

• Unless you have some training in the area, youre
  not going to know which spiders are dangerous and
  which ones arent just by glancing at them. Your
  best bet is to contact a pest control
  professional if youre worried about spiders
  living in your home to help you understand more
  about which ones should cause concern.

What to do

• If you think you have spiders in your home
  already, keep the webs to a minimum, then contact
  a pest control company. You can actually use a
  vacuum to help eliminate the webs around your
  home, and make certain you clear cluttered areas
  so the pest control company can more effectively
  eliminate the problem.

Preventing spiders

• There are several different ways you can prevent
  a spider problem in your home.
• Your best first step is to make certain your home
  is carefully sealed from the outside. Caulking
  any gaps in siding or near pipes, repairing holes
  in screens, and making certain door thresholds
  fit well is a must.
• You can also keep your home a bit tidier. The
  less clutter, the fewer spiders youll have to
  fight.
