When it comes to household pests that are most unwanted it seems that spiders make the list every time. They are a pest that no on wants to see in their home. The great thing is that spiders are actually beneficial in many ways. They can act as a backup for your other pest problems because of what their natural food source is. They want to eat the other pests that might be getting in your home. They catch a cockroach, cricket or beetle in their web and that is one less pest for you to deal with. They are also great out in your garden where they can help to save your plants. They also are not likely to come after a person out of fear. I mean you wouldn’t approach a spider that towered over you. The problem is that with the benefits that spiders add they are still despised. They are not a pest that you want to see whether it is a single solitary one or a whole infestation. There are some reasons that spiders can be a danger when found in your house.
A Five Star Termite & Pest Control Outlines what Makes Spiders Dangerous in Your House
Some Spiders have Venom: One of the problems you can come across when you have a spider in your house is if it has venom. Venom is something that can be injected into a person or other pest when they are bitten by a spider. The spider has to have venom that it will usually store near the fangs and when they bite they will naturally inject the venom as a defense to protect themselves or as a way to stop food from escaping. The great thing is that among the spiders that do have venom there are a very small few that actually have enough venom that can cause any harm to a person. The people that are most at risk are elderly and small children. The brown recluse is top of the list with the black widow having enough to cause serious health problems as well.
Spiders Can Cause Stress: Another problem you can have when you find out that there are spiders in your house is with your mental health. Mental health can be anything from fear to stress. If you know that there are spiders in your house some people start to stress about what they might be doing. There is also fear and anxiety about what you can do to keep the spiders out of your house. It is also not fun to be startled when you walk past a spider that is making a web in the corner or your living room. You can rest easy by making sure that your home is treated for all unwanted pests.
Spiders Can Cause Health Concerns: There are several pests that can cause trouble for people that have allergies and asthma. Spiders are part of the problem because the webs can house dust and debris that can act as a trigger. Another trigger can be from the body of a dead spider that is left in the house. They can make you feel unhealthy from all the allergy and asthma triggers.
