Types Of Spiders You May Find In Your Home

Are spiders insects or something else? These pests are not insects but arachnids. If you are concerned about Tucson's different kinds of spiders, you're not alone.

Many types of spiders in Tucson may hide in your yard, basement, or attic, or build a web in your front door. However, you're likely to encounter the following arachnids:

• Arizona brown spider - This spider is similar to the brown recluse, but the reactions from its bite are less severe. It is similar in color and has a violin shape on its back.
• Black widow - Beware this venomous spider with a black, shiny body and a red hourglass shape on its abdomen. It measures 1 1/2 and 1 3/8 inches long.
• Brown recluse - It's venomous, 1/4 to 1/2 inches long, brown, and has a dark brown violin shape on its back.
• Cellar spider - Sometimes referred to as a "daddy longlegs," this spider has long, thin legs and either a short or long body, depending on the species. It measures 1/4 to 3/8 inches long and is light brown or yellow.
• Carolina wolf spider - This spider may be dark brown or light brown with tapered legs and yellow band markings. Females are 3/8 to 1 3/8 inches long, and males are 1/4 to 3/4 inches long.
• Hobo spider - This spider loves dark, damp areas like basements and crawl spaces, and stay close to the ground. Male spiders are more likely to bite than females.

All The Places Spiders Like To Hide In Your Home

As a homeowner, you do what you can to reduce your home's attractiveness to spiders. However, there are some key places that spiders will find irresistible in your home. Look for spiders in basements, crawl spaces, or cluttered garages and attics. While some spiders prefer to stay outside and close to the ground, others will thrive once they enter your home.

You may find spider pests building webs underneath stairs, in the corners of doors, rooms, or over windows. Inspect outdoor light fixtures, sheds, and other furniture for signs of spiders. These arachnids love to hide in places that are out of sight where they won't be disturbed.

Make your home less hospitable to invading spiders, and treat your home on a quarterly schedule for spiders.
