What Spiders Might I Encounter in My Wake Forest Home?

There are numerous types of spiders that thrive in North Carolina, with 48 confirmed unique species. While most spiders pose no threat to humans, some have a bite that can cause serious health issues.

The most common spiders in houses throughout the Wake Forest area include:

• Cellar spiders: harmless spiders with wispy long legs that are yellow or tan and create lots of messy webs.
• Giant house spiders: a large spider that has up to a 4-inch leg span and can be beige, brown, or dark orange.
• Orb-weaver spiders: a spider that has spiny or hairy legs, varies in color, can be multi-colored or have stripes, and builds wheel-shaped webs.
• Wolf spiders: scary-looking spiders with hairy, dark compact bodies that hunt their prey but do not build webs.
• Black widow spiders: mostly-black spiders with a red hourglass shape on their abdomens; if disturbed, they may deal a venomous bite that’s harmful to humans.
• Brown recluse spiders: a spider that has a small brown body with long legs, distinguished by violin-shaped markings on its head and six-eyes; it’s the second most poisonous spider in North Carolina, however these types of spiders are fairly rare.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you think you have been bitten by a black widow or brown recluse spider. Bites from these spiders can cause severe damage to surrounding tissue and may even lead to the loss of a finger or limb.
