Do you have spiders all over your house? Or lawn? Like ants, that’s to be expected! But with the increase in rain, humid weather and life — well, coming alive — the likelihood of spiders around the home is probably at it’s highest right now. What to do? First, most spiders are harmless. The two that can be a concern, the black widow and brown recluse, are not as common. That said, they can be…
It’s Halloween pretty soon. Let’s talk spiders! Unless they are part of your Halloween decorations, you probably don’t want them in your home! That said, most spiders are actually harmless. There are only a couple of types of spiders to be concerned with that can be found around Austin, especially out towards the country or more rural areas. Brown Recluse Spider The first is the brown recluse. It’s named recluse for a reason, which is…
Spiders can be controversial. Ask around and you’ll have people who love spiders and protect them and those that just want to make them go squish. And don’t get us started on the fact that spiders aren’t classified as “bugs” or insects. They’re arachnids! They are in the same class as scorpions and ticks. But we’ll save the life science study for another time. So whether you see them as blessing or a blight, there…
Austin — and in particular some of the more rural or woody suburbs like Manchaca, Buda, and West Lake Hills — can have a significant spider population. The vast majority of these spiders are harmless but a few, like the black widow or brown recluse, can inflict painful and dangerous bites. Preventing Spiders One of the best methods to control spiders is prevention. Like most bugs, spiders like to hide out of sight. Moving and…
Silverfish can live in envelopes and will eat clothing and do damage to papers, etc if left unchecked. They are usually found in stored boxes. You can purchase silverfish baits online, and if they are fresh, they can be effective. We recommend buying a roach powder (99% orthoboric acid, 1% inert ingredients) and dusting boxes that have papers, etc in them (available at Home Depot, etc). If you have papers stored in your attic, they…
No one wants to find scorpions in their home or get stung by one. But they are very interesting and unique arachnids. Scorpions give birth to live young! They ride on their mother’s back for protection until they can safely disperse. Scorpions have a long life span. They can live between 2-10 years in the wild or up to 25 years in captivity! Scorpions can live up to a year without eating and can get…
The brown recluse spider has a violin shape on its head segment with the neck of the violin pointing toward the abdomen. It has six eyes arranged in pairs, with one pair in front and a pair on either side of the head. Both male and female are venomous, however the spiders are very timid. Its body is not more than 3/8″ long. Both the legs and the abdomen are uniformly colored. The recluse is…
