Not all spider bites are bad, in fact, most are not, but there are a few spiders that when they bite, they do incredible damage like the brown recluse below!

Spider Identification

Spiders can be found living in almost every habitat on earth. Some spiders have been found near the ocean, living in coral near the ocean edge.

Spiders are something that humans have to be live with - it is said that there is a spider within three feet of us at any given time!

Spiders love to take advantage of any area in a house that they can find to live. Under stairs, in nooks and crannies all over the house, in garden sheds and garages, there are many places that a human could come in contact with in and around their own home. All spiders are venomous but most have venomn that is not stong enough to be dangerous to humans. In fact, having the right spiders around can actually be good thing as they eat insects that can be annoying, such as mosquiteos.


Spiders

All spiders bite and even though some spiders can help control the insect population, some can be dangerous to humans. Some commonly known to have dangerous venom are black widows and brown recluse spiders. The black widow is the most commonly known dangerously venomous spider in the United States and famous for its red markings in the shape of an hourglass; they are mostly found in tropical temperatures but have been found as far north as Canada. The brown recluse is another dangerous spider. The bite of a brown recluse can be very damaging. Spiders are everywhere, inside and outside. The only places that spiders are not located are places where humans cannot live. Like it or not, we're going to have to be used to seeing and being bitten by spiders.
