What Type of Spiders Do You Need
Moses Lake Spider Control For?

For some, spiders are nothing more than an annoyance. Others, though, are genuinely frightened of them. Regardless of how one feels about spiders, they can become a real issue when populations within a home grow out of control. In some cases, they are even dangerous. Moses Lake, like the rest of the state, is home to many different types of spiders, and some of these can put your health and well-being in jeopardy. So, if spiders have made their way into your home, how do you know if you need the help of a professional Moses Lake spider control company? Our experts explain in detail below.

Does Moses Lake Have Poisonous Spiders?

Most of the spiders in Moses Lake and throughout the state of Washington are venomous, according to the Washington State Department of Health. Still, that does not mean that all of them pose a threat to human health. The only two spiders that residents of Moses Lake should be concerned about are the yellow sac spider and the black widow spider.

Yellow sac spiders are far more aggressive than the black widow, but they are not as dangerous. Yellow sac spiders will bite any time they feel threatened, and they will often bite multiple times. People react differently to the bite of a yellow sac spider. Some find it extremely painful right away, while others never even know they have been bitten by a yellow sac spider. Sometimes, a yellow sac spider bite will not leave anything behind other than a small red mark. In other instances, a pustule may develop accompanied by a painful burning sensation.

Black widow spiders are seen more frequently in Moses Lake than they are in other parts of the state. Contrary to what many people think, though, their bites are not fatal for human beings. Still, the bite of a black widow spider has been said to be more than 15 times more poisonous than that of a rattlesnake. Even though not fatal, the bite of a black widow spider can cause a person to become very sick. After being bitten, a person may become nauseous, have muscle soreness,  and their diaphragm may even become paralyzed, which can make breathing difficult.

If you believe you have a yellow sac spider or a black widow spider, it is extremely important that you speak to a Moses Lake spider control company. Even when you are not dealing with a type of spider that poses a hazard to your health, any time a population of any species grows out of control, it is important to speak to an expert who can get rid of the problem for you.

How to Prevent a Spider Problem in Your Home

While most spiders in Moses Lake do not pose any threat to your safety and well-being, that does not mean you want them in your home.  To prevent an infestation  in your home, you should:

  • Perform regular inspections: You could be bringing spiders into your home without even knowing it. Firewood, Christmas trees, plants from outside,  and even used furniture could contain the egg sacs of spiders, or the creatures themselves, which could easily lead to an infestation. Before you bring anything into your home, inspect it thoroughly, particularly if it contains natural material or is a used item. Doing so will help you identify a potential issue before it becomes a real problem.
  • Eliminate clutter: Clutter in your shed, garage, or attic provides the perfect shelter for spiders. Areas that contain clutter are not only rarely used, but they are also typically very dark, making them the perfect place for spiders to build webs, lay eggs, and be protected from predators. Keep all spaces in the home clutter-free and vacuum regularly to ensure there are no spider egg sacs left behind.
  • Keep your distance: The shrubbery which surrounds your home may make for a beautiful landscape, and your fireplace may mean you have to keep a supply of firewood on hand. Still, keep all shrubbery and firewood a distance from your home, and always make sure it is never touching any part of the exterior. Spiders will use these areas as protection and for nesting purposes, so it is important to ensure they do not provide access to your home.
