Spiders

While it is common for people to be intimidated or scared of spiders, the truth is that most species we come into contact with are harmless. Examples of nuisance spiders are wolf spiders, house spiders, cellar spiders, and spiny-backed orb weavers. These spiders possess venom strong enough to paralyze their prey, but not enough to harm people.

In the United States, there are a couple of species of spiders that are dangerous to people, and you should always avoid them. These are the brown recluse and the black widow. Being bitten by either means a necessary trip to a medical professional.

Spiders live in our yards because they provide them with everything they need: food, water, and secluded shelter. Gardens, grass, trees, shrubs, gardens, the outside of homes, and outbuildings provide plenty of places for spiders to live and hunt for insects. If you have problems with insects in your yard or home, you will also have issues with spiders.

Rats are most commonly seen in trees, along wires and fences, or running along outdoor pathways. Mice are more often seen inside homes and other buildings. Possums, Raccoons and Skunks can be found in your yard, attic, or under the structure of your home or business. Signs of rodents include visible droppings, noise within walls, and signs of teeth marks or chewing on objects and food packages.
