Spider Behavior: How They Hunt, Feed, And Mate
Spiders in Las Vegas are interesting little creatures. The one thing that motivates these pests more than anything else is food. What do spiders eat? They live on insects, arthropods, and sometimes other arachnids. Unlike other small animals, however, spiders do not eat their prey whole or a piece at a time. They inject venom into their victims to dissolve their insides and then suck them out. Thankfully, they do not do this to humans.
The two ways spiders hunt for prey here in Las Vegas are by building webs and by catching them off guard on the ground. If you want help to identify what types of spiders are inside your home, bring in our team for a fast inspection.
Spider Problems: Why You Don't Want These Arachnids In Your Home
Lots of spiders live in Las Vegas. Most are harmless and only pose a threat to tiny animals like flies, beetles, and ants. There are, however, a few species in our area that can harm humans. These include black widows and brown recluses. Black widows have a venom that attacks the human nervous system causing restlessness, joint pain, stomach problems, and many other uncomfortable symptoms. A brown recluse bite has a more necrotic effect that causes an ulcer to form around the bitten area.
Bites from either of these pests are incredibly painful but are not life-threatening. To reduce symptoms and pain, seek medical attention if you are ever attacked by either of these dangerous spiders.
