Why Spiders Are A Dangerous Problem For Tampa Homeowners

Aside from Halloween decorations, its never a good thing when you have spiders in your home

. Yet some people dont realize what a real problem these creepy crawlies actually are. Some of them, such as the brown recluse, a very common spider in Florida and the Tampa area, can have fatal consequences.

The reasons spiders and other pests are an issue during the fall months is because thats when the climate and temperature varies as the weather cools. This makes all insects restless, and more likely to roam, and that includes roaming into places like attics, book shelves, closets, cabinets, sheds, and garages. They are particularly fond of dark places.

All spiders carry venom, which is used to paralyze their prey. Some of it is more dangerous than others, with the brown recluse and the black widow having the most dangerous bites.

The brown recluse is said to have venom that is more powerful than a rattlesnakes bite. It can cause dizziness, fainting, severe headaches, low blood platelet count, and even death. The brown recluses venom destroys the tissue surrounding a bite. People who are bitten by these dangerous spiders must undergo one to several rounds of antibiotic treatment, in addition to having the bite drained.

You can prevent spiders in your home by cleaning and dusting regularly. Be on the lookout for spider webs, especially in dark areas, or places that arent frequently visited. Garages, sheds, and doorways are popular places for spiders to congregate.

Have pest control come out to your home and spray for bugs annually, and more frequently if needed. Pest control can also inspect your home for places that could be vulnerable to insects.

If you suspect youve been bitten by a spider, call a doctor immediately, especially if you feel faint or dizzy. Sometimes the bites are minor, but other times, they can be fatal. In this situation, its always better to be safe than sorry.
