You should do research and make sure that you know the spiders that you need to look out for, these being the black widow and brown recluse. Know the environments that they thrive in, in order to make sure that you are not breeding them in your home, garage or sheds. The female black widow spider has a shiny black globular abdomen with two yellow or red markings in a triangular shape. It looks like an hourglass. The males however are lighter in color, smaller, and have light streaks on the abdomen. They will bite if provoked and usually don’t enter structures. The bite feels like a sharp pain, similar to a needle puncture. Bites are rarely fatal, but if you are bitten you should seek medical attention. One of the first symptoms after a bite is muscular cramping. This usually occurs 15 minutes to an hour after the bite. The body of the brown recluse is yellow to dark brown, with the body size of 1/3 to ½ inch long. Combined with the legs, it may be about an inch in diameter. The dorsal has a dark brown violin shaped marking and it is very distinctive. The web of the spiders is off white to grayish in color. They can be found outside, under rocks, debris, and wood piles, but many times are found inside your house. They are found most in basements, attics, closets, garages, and cellars. Many times people get bit by putting their hands or feet into something that has been in storage. The initial bite of this spider is not intense, but it is poisonous. After 8 to 12 hours the pain becomes more intense, and over the next few days large sores form and begin to create a disfigured scar. Seek immediate medical treatment after the bite.
