Poisonous Spiders In West Hartford, CT

While poisonous spiders are rare in West Hartford, they are sometimes found here. Because of their reclusive habits, they sometimes arrive because they were hiding in a box or piece of furniture that was moved to the area from someplace where they are common.

The brown recluse spider ranges in color from tan to dark brown. The spider's legs are a single color – not banded or striped like some spider legs. The most distinguishing mark on the brown recluse is a mark on its back that is shaped like a violin with the violin neck pointing toward the spider’s rear. These dark markings are most common on an adult spider.

Brown recluse spiders aren’t generally aggressive, but they’ll bite if you accidentally come in contact with them. People who are bitten often don’t realize it at first, because the bite is painless, but within a couple of hours, the bitten area can become red and swollen. The bite can turn into a necrotic lesion, destroying the tissue and resulting in a deep scar. People may also react to the bite with fever, chills, dizziness, a rash or vomiting.

The best defense against poisonous spiders is professional pest control. Technicians with American Pest Solutions have the knowledge and tools to recognize and eliminate dangerous spiders. With regular pest treatments, you can keep dangerous spiders from infesting your home.
