Common Spiders In The Pacific Northwest
Most spiders are not harmful to humans and will eat bugs that have intruded into your home. Even though they are not harmful to individuals, spiders are nonetheless an annoyance to have about the house. Spiders typically come indoors to find a warm place to mate or eat.
Because it’s so lush, wet, and green, the Pacific North is a great place for spiders to live. This is fine when they are outside, but it becomes bothersome when they enter our personal space. In our area, the three most common spider species are house, wolf, and hobo spiders. Here’s a summary of each spider to help you identify which ones are living on your property:
What Type Of Ants Do You Have?
Here are the most common ants found in the Pacific Northwest to keep an eye out for:
Wolf Spiders
Wolf Spiders are just over an inch long with fury, grey, black, and brown coloring with dark markings. Wolf Spiders will bite when threatened, but the venom is not harmful to humans. Unlike most spiders, wolf spiders don’t use webs to catch their prey, they hunt them down.
House Spiders
House spiders are tiny brown or grey spiders with striped markings on their legs. Common house spiders are divided into two groups: hunting spiders and web-building spiders. Most house spiders pose no threat to humans, outside of mild irritation.
Hobo Spiders
Hobo spiders look like slightly larger house spiders, usually between 11-14 mm. This species is aggressive and will charge at people if they feel threatened. Hobo spiders feed off of other insects. There is debate as to whether or not the venom of a hobo spider is poisonous, but most research shows that the venom only causes skin irritations.
Bees
Bees look like rounder wasps with hair. Both their bodies and their short legs have tiny hairs covering them.
How We Get Rid Of Spiders
Our pest control service technicians treat for spiders two ways during each treatment. This provides both sides of prevention: the offensive move of getting rid of spiders and the defense preventing spiders from returning.
Dewebbing is one way we stop spiders from coming back. The technician will deweb in the eaves of your home and around the perimeter. Following the dewebbing, the exterminator (or technician) will treat the exterior of the home with a liquid barrier that both kills the spiders that are present and prevents them from coming back.
