What’s Up With Spiders?
Here in West Chester, we have a lot of different types of spider. You can find them in the woods, in your flower beds and unfortunately, in your home. There are a few problem spiders that just seem to want to invade our homes. All spiders have fangs and most of them do not want to bite you. Remember that spiders have to create their venom and it takes a lot of energy. Spiders want to use their venom to catch prey. With a few exceptions, spiders will only bite you if they feel threatened. If you put on a pair of pants where a spider decided to hang out, it will bite you because it is afraid it is going to get smashed. Here are a few of the culprits you might find inside of your home.
Yellow Sac Spider
The yellow sac spider gets its name from the little web sleeping bags it makes where your walls and ceiling meet. The spider itself can be yellow to a tan color. While their bites are not medically significant, they will be very painful. Yellow sac spiders are an exception to the rule that spiders will only bite if they feel threatened. This type of spider will bite you for absolutely no reason. If you are taking a nap and one walks across your arm, you might wake up to a few welt-like spider bites.
Black Widow
Black Widows are shy. If you disturb their webs, they will hide. Black widows love disorder. They prefer to build their webs in areas that are undisturbed. Garages, crawl spaces, and basements are all favored locations for black widows. Their webs do not look like a garden spiders, rather you will find a messy tangle of webs that embody disorder. While their bites are rarely fatal, if you do get bit by a black widow, you should always seek medical attention. Black widow venom contains neurotoxins which highjack your nervous system. Whenever you go to the hospital for a spider bite, try to capture the offending spider it will help the medical team with identification so they can give you the appropriate anti venom.
Brown Recluse
This type of little brown spider is not common to Pennsylvania. The only way you will find one, is if it has hitched a ride to your home in a box or other container. They cannot overwinter in our cold climate. The reason brown recluses hitchhike is they love cardboard. They will often hide out in stacks of cardboard or wood. While there is a lot of conflicting research, brown recluse bites are thought to cause skin necrosis. As with black widows, if you ever get bit by a brown recluse you should seek medical attention.
