“The recluse can cause serious damage to people,” says Pereira. They can be seen in gardens, backyards, basements, attics, barns, sheds, and any other type of man-made. “If you live in an area where brown recluse is common, it’s a good idea to shake out your clothes and shoes, or wear gloves if you are working in your shed or garage.”Ĭan they harm you? Yes. Common house spiders will live just about anywhere.
The house spider provides a service for home owners, eating flies and other unwanted insects. “Many bites occur because the spider is hiding in folded towels and sheets, underneath a pile of clothes on the floor, or in shoes in a closet,” Potzler says. Like most spiders, Tegenaria species subdue their prey with venom. Where you’ll find them: The brown recluse likes to hang out in undisturbed corners of homes, in sheds, and in basements or cellars.
Also, brown recluse spiders have six eyes, instead of the eight that many other spiders have. What they look like: The brown recluse is a brown spider with a distinct “violin-shaped marking” on the top of its head and down its back, Potzler says. The common house spider gets its name from the fact that it is usually the spider most often encountered indoors.
