Spiders
Spiders are arthropods with eight legs and chelicerae (fangs) that can inject venom. On the Texas South Plains, many spider species thrive including the Wolf spider, the Black Widow, the Brown recluse, and many others. Although most are not dangerous (in fact they can be beneficial), many consider them as pests in the residential setting. Many times bites, webbing and sometimes even their presence can be seen as a problem. Depending on species and the level of infestation, we have several options for treatment to fit your budget.

The Black Widow
Named for their behavior, the black widow is a reasonably common pest on the south plains. A red hourglass-shaped marking on the underside of her abdomen is a universal identifier, but be sure to keep your distance to avoid the possibility of a bite. Found outside, and usually, in a rocky setting, Black Widows possess a poison that can be very dangerous and in some rare cases, fatal.
The Brown Recluse (Fiddle-back spider)
As its name implies, the Brown recluse is reclusive by nature. It prefers to hunt for its prey in out of sight areas such as crawlspaces, attics, and closets. We will occasionally turn up in unexpected places, such as under bed sheets or even in a pair of pants left on the floor. Its nickname refers to the fiddle-shaped marking on its back, but this is NOT a definitive indicator. The 3 pairs of eyespots on its head are the easiest way to determine positively that you have a brown recluse, but if you prefer to keep your distance, we would be glad to identify any specimen that you have. The bite from a brown recluse is severe but typically not considered life-threatening. Large ulcerous sores can develop if left untreated and significant areas of tissue damage or “sloughing” can occur.
