Do All Spiders Bite Humans?
Something you should know is that not all spiders bite humans. In fact, there isn’t a single aggressive spider in our area. This is to say, these pests do not go out of their way to attack humans. On top of this, some species do not have the ability to pierce human skin with their fangs. Of the species that can pierce the skin, most do not have venom strong enough to cause a severe reaction. That said, there are dangerous spiders in Las Vegas that will cause you harm if they feel threatened. The only way to avoid harmful bites is to keep these pests out, all year.
