Spiders

Black Widow
Just saying the word spider can make someone jump. Spiders are probably the scariest pest that is commonly found in home and businesses. Spiders have 8 legs and are found on every continent in the world except Antarctica. There are around 40,000 species of spiders and believe it or not only a few of them have venom that is dangerous to humans.
The Black Widow spider is the most common dangerous spider to bit humans in the U.S. (no one has died from a black widow bite in over 10 years) there are only about 5000 spider bites a years in the U.S. and very few of these are serious. That is a very small number when you consider that 800,000 dog bites require stitches every year!

During a four year study there were 20 deaths cause by dog bites per year, 130 deaths from auto-deer collisions and NO deaths from spider bites.
We kill spiders because we are afraid of them NOT because they are really dangerous to humans.
If you are bitten by a spider always try and see the spider and go to the doctors right away, many bites start out with very little pain, but can grow to major infections if not treated.
