They are not just creepy to look at — they're dangerous too
There are two dangerous spiders in Dallas-Fort Worth: the black widow spider and the brown recluse. Both have toxic venom that can cause severe problems.
The venom from brown recluse spiders kill the cells around the bite, leading to black, dead tissue. Bites from both brown recluses and black widows can be deadly on rare occasions, but they almost always cause pain and illness, such as nausea, fever, and joint pain.
Finding a spider web under your bed or in a cabinet immediately gives you the heebie jeebies. These webs are gross to look at and to touch. Plus, there could be a bunch of dead bugs trapped inside.
The bottom line is that you don't want spider webs all over your home. In order to get rid of these webs, you have to get rid of the spiders making them.
Most people get bitten by spiders while pulling out their winter clothes or digging through a box of storage to find something. Spiders like their privacy, so they tend to hide in spaces where they won't be disturbed. Unfortunately, that could be inside one of your belongings.

Black widow spiders are notoriously dangerous. They are the most venomous spider in North America, and their bites are not pleasant. The toxins from the bite overwhelm the victim's nerve cells, leading to extreme pain, as well as sweating, cramping, and chills.
Their bites are most dangerous to the elderly and young children, as well as dogs and cats. The spiders are easy to spot because of their infamous red hourglass shape on their abdomen. If you find one in your home, you should call a trusted pest control company to remove them and protect your family.
Brown recluse spiders are another poisonous spider in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. You can identify them by the mark on its back, which resembles a violin. They are all brown and about one inch in length. They are known for hiding under furniture, in boxes, and in other dark places. Even though they are nonaggressive, they can bite when they are disturbed in their hiding spots. Their bites can sometimes go unnoticed until a wound appears days later, sometimes with blood and pus.
These hairy spiders often cause a big fright when Dallas residents find them in their homes. There are thousands of different types of wolf spiders, but they are all known for being excellent hunters. They are quick, have great night vision, and are extremely sensitive to vibrations. These spiders rarely bite, but their bites can be painful. Plus, their hairy bodies and distinctive eyes can cause a lot of unease.
