The wolf spider is the one most Dayton-area homeowners actually run into — a large, fast, ground-hunting spider that wanders indoors chasing other insects. Most spiders are harmless and even beneficial, but their presence usually signals a bigger insect problem. Brown recluse and black widow spiders, while less common here, do pose real health risks.
SIGNS OF INFESTATION
- Webs in corners, ceilings, and dark areas
- Egg sacs attached to surfaces or webs
- Frequent spider sightings indoors
- An abundance of other insects (their food source)
- Shed exoskeletons
- Bite marks if venomous species present
PREVENTION TIPS
- Reduce clutter in storage areas like basements and attics
- Seal cracks around windows and doors
- Address underlying insect problems that attract spiders
- Keep outdoor lights off or use yellow bulbs
- Remove webs regularly to discourage nesting
- Store items in sealed plastic containers
