Spider control
Spiders can lurk in just about every place in the home. While they can remain out of the way, spiders are not shy about making an appearance. Those with arachnophobia, or even those that don’t, might find sharing their home with spiders a little less than appealing. In some cases, spiders can be a health hazard like the black widow.

Spiders can be tough to kill
Insects are self-groomers, sort of like a cat. They clean themselves with their mouth. It is thought that they do this to keep their antennae and other sensory organs clean and working well.
When insects walk over areas that have been sprayed or treated, the poison clings to their body. The next time they clean themselves, they ingest the poison, and they die.
Spiders are not self-groomers so unless you can squash them or spray directly on them, you’re not going to kill them.

The most noticeable evidence of spiders
The spider’s web is their domicile within your house. Like many types of insects, spiders prefer dark, moist places. They tend to spin their webs in inaccessible corners, either up high or lower, where they will not be disturbed by humans. Insects get entangled in it.
The spider, alerted by the vibration of the web, then scurries out and quickly injects its poison and then wraps the paralyzed insect up for a meal later.

Chances are that one of your neighbors can provide a better dining table for them. Let’s hope it’s down the block someplace.

FAQ

What is the Coachella Valley Sun Spider?
What about the brown recluse spider? I think I have them around my house.
What you are likely seeing is a relative of the brown recluse called the desert recluse. They look very similar in color. Both have tan legs and cephalothorax. The brown recluse, the more dangerous of the two, has a longitudinal dark brown stripe starting at the head and running the length of the cephalothorax. Combined with the dark brown head, this design looks like a violin, which is the source of the nickname given the brown recluse spider.
We have black widows and desert recluse spiders. Why do we have both of them?
Brown widow spiders
Brown widow spiders are very similar to the recluse spider, and are also mistaken for immature black widow spiders. They have a dark brown cephalothorax, but the abdomen is light brown with darker splotches.
The easiest way to tell if you are dealing with a brown widow is if you come across the egg sack. The brown widow sack is brown and spherical, with distinctive silk points that might look like tiny thorns.
Brown widows have a neurotoxin venom, but they don’t have large reservoirs of venom, or the strength to inject it, in a manner that will cause humans a problem.
Black widow spiders
The black widow spider is one of the most recognizable and feared arachnids. Although the bite is not very painful, its venom is potent enough to cause flu-like symptoms in humans for up to 72 hours. The adult female black widow is the most recognizable and notorious of the breed. When mature, the female black widow’s body is as large as 5/8 of an inch. The legspan is often larger than a quarter.
Immature female black widows and male black widows are very similar to brown widows and the California recluse spider. The chief difference is that there is very little dark brown coloration, and the abdomen is striped. The mature male black widow is about half the size of the female.
Only the female black widow is poisonous. It takes a female about 90 days to reach sexual maturity and she can live as long as two or three years.
Black widows can be found anyplace other spiders are found. They especially like the underside of lawn chairs, closed barbeques, and other similar areas. If you are going to use these typical garden or yard items, hose them off or take a broom to them before use.

About spiders
Spiders have a two-part body. The cephalothorax is the front part, which consists of a head attached to the thorax or chest. It is the cephalothorax that serves as the mounting point for the spider’s eight legs. The spider’s abdomen is the larger rear part of the body.
