How to Identify a Black Widow Spider
Usually, it is good to have spiders around as they control the populations of other insects. Unfortunately, some spiders may harm people. Plus, just spotting a larger or venomous spider, especially if it is a black widow spider, can give someone a real scare.
Do you know what a black widow spider looks like? A black spider with two reddish triangular markings down the back, usually joined to form a hourglass shape, is your biggest clue that you’ve encountered a black widow spider. Even though casualties related to being bitten by this spider is rare, the black widow’s venom is up to 15 times stronger than that of a rattlesnake. If bitten, people experience breathing difficulties, nausea, and muscle aches.
Preventing a Spider Infestation
Spiders typically live outdoors and feed on insects. However, certain species live in homes, feeding on flies, cockroaches, ants, and other spiders that they find inside. Spiders make their way indoor via cracks or openings around doors or windows. We recommend you caulk cracks and seal openings, particularly at ground level, to make it challenging for spiders to get inside
