House Spiders

• House spiders are most frequently found in human
  dwelling places. Although their presence is
  discomforting, house spiders are not necessarily
  lethal to humans. If you have a spider
  infestation do not panic. The common house spider
  is not dangerous.

What Do They Look Like?

• Most house spiders are brown in color and
  measuring less than one inch in length.
• The domestic house spider may have a leg span of
  up to 2 inches.

Where Are They Commonly Found?

• Spiders like to hide in dark corners.
• They are found perched high in corners, hiding in
  the bathtub or crawling across surfaces in the
  home.

Am I At Risk?

• In truth, spiders are beneficial creatures
  because they prey upon flies, crickets and other
  nuisance insects.
• Most are harmless. Contrary to the opinion of
  many, spiders do not seek out human contact, and
  do not revel in the thought of biting humans. 
• Most only bite humans out of a defensive
  mechanism.

Dealing with Infestation

• If you do begin to notice multiple spiders on
  your property, it's best to contact a Bloomington
  pest control company immediately. They'll need to
  locate the parent colony and any satellite
  colonies to begin the treatment process.
  Depending on the size of the infestation as well
  as the time of year, the pest control company may
  use a number of different poison baits to
  eliminate the problem entirely.

Will They Come Back?

• Unless you approach the problem with proper
  management techniques, you are likely to have a
  problem for several years.
