Your Guide to Mosquito Squad’s Oconomowoc WI Spider Control Solutions

If you’re concerned about spiders, you’re not alone. Arachnophobia – the fear of spiders – is not rare, and even those of us who don’t experience this fear may be unsettled by the presence of these eight-legged arachnids. Mosquito Squad is here to help with solutions for Oconomowocspider control.

Why Are There Spiders in My House?

Food and shelter are the two main reasons you’re likely to find spiders in your home. For spiders, food comes in the form of other pests, usually smaller insects, which they feast on. This is helpful, but if your hope is to have fewer bugs in your home, it’s still not the greatest experience. 

As for shelter, this becomes more important for spiders when temperatures begin to drop. The onset of fall signals to them that it’s time to look for more stable conditions, and they’ll exploit any openings they can find to set up shop in dark, hidden places inside your home. Our Oconomowocspider control treatments can help with this issue if it gets out of hand.

Are All Spiders Dangerous?

Arachnophobes, take comfort! Most spiders are perfectly harmless and would much rather avoid being seen than hurt you. In fact, having a few of them around can even be beneficial in managing other pests.

There are over 40 common species of spider found in Wisconsin. Most of them, like the common house spider, jumping spider, and daddy-long-legs, like to keep to themselves and spend their time lying in wait for prey to come to them. Their bites are not venomous enough to harm humans. Other species, like the wolf spider, may look quite scary, and their bites may cause mild irritation, but they’re not dangerous.

How Do I Identify Venomous Spiders?

Unfortunately, there are a few types of spiders that can cause harm. On the bright side, these species are relatively rare here in Wisconsin. If you suspect, however, that they may be present on your property, call Mosquito Squad and ask about our Oconomowocspider control treatments!

Black Widows

The red hourglass shape on the abdomen of black widows – as seen on the costume for the character of the same name from Marvel’s The Avengers – is one of their most recognizable characteristics, but some variations may have red, yellow, or white spots instead. If you are bitten, you may experience symptoms like muscle pain, tremors, and nausea, often occurring within an hour of the bite. If so, seek medical attention promptly.

Brown Recluse

As implied by their name, these spiders are tan to dark brown and usually have a violin-shaped mark on their backs. Their name also refers to their shy behavior. Their bites can cause damage to your tissue as well as other symptoms like itching, pain, fever, and muscle aches. Prompt medical attention is advised.
