Common Spiders in Florida

Spiders are one of the many insects people find creepy, but the only types of spiders that are harmful to humans are black widows and brown recluse spiders. Both types are relatively rare in Florida, but certain species of black widow spiders are found here. If you suspect a problem with either of these or any other type of spider, we offer spider control in Merritt Island to solve your problem.

The most common spiders found in Florida include:

Jumping spiders
Crab spiders
Spiny orb weavers
Golden silk spiders
Black and Yellow Argiope spiders
Green lynx spiders
Long jawed orb weavers
Wolf spiders

Most homeowners notice spiders but have no idea what kind of spider has invaded their homes. This is where a professional can help. Our technicians have extensive training in all aspects of pest control. We can identify the spiders that are causing your problem and eliminate them for you.

Understanding Jumping Spiders: Are They Friendly?

Jumping Spiders are spiders that are heavy built with larger bodies than people are used to seeing. They get their name because instead of fleeing when approached by people, a jumping spider will jump closer to a human and give a little dance. Jumping spiders can be considered friendly because they are curious and carefully observe the people around them.

Effective Treatment for Spider Infestations

Our Merritt Island spider control includes topical treatment and preventative treatment. Our technicians spray around the perimeter and eaves of your home with high-quality products. In addition, we sweep down any spider webs during each visit to discourage them from returning. You will notice a difference after our first visit.

You can expect friendly service and excellent results when you call Green Wing Lawn and Pest Services for spider control. We will work with you to create a spider control schedule that will keep spiders away. We offer free service calls in between treatments if you should notice a problem with spiders returning.

Proactive Steps to Avoid Spider Infestations

Any good spider control program should have a focus on prevention as well as treatment. With spiders and most other pests, prevention is easier than treating a spider infestation. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to prevent spider infestations before they start.

To discourage spider infestations, you can:

Eliminate any sources of clutter that provide a place for spiders to hide
Seal any cracks where spiders can enter, especially around the windows
Remove any food sources and other insect problems because these can attract spiders

Spider infestations can get out of control very quickly, so it is important to address spider problems as soon as they are noticed. Because spiders can be difficult to eradicate, it is best to call a qualified professional to handle the problem. We offer same-day service for spider control in Merritt Island and free estimates are available for all our pest control services.

Are Spiders Dangerous? Understanding Spider Risks in Merritt Island, FL

Spiders are a common sight in Merritt Island homes and gardens. While many people find them unsettling, most spiders are harmless and even beneficial, as they help control other pest populations. However, some species can pose risks to humans, making it important to know when to contact a professional pest control company like Green Wing Lawn and Pest Services.

Common Spiders in Merritt Island

In Merritt Island, you’re likely to encounter a variety of spiders, including both harmless and potentially dangerous species:

Orb Weavers and Jumping Spiders: Non-aggressive and helpful for controlling insects.
Wolf Spiders: Large and intimidating but generally harmless to humans.
Brown Recluse: Rare but venomous, known for its distinctive violin-shaped marking.
Widow Spiders (e.g., Black Widow): Venomous, with a shiny black body and a red hourglass marking on their abdomen.

Are All Spiders Dangerous?

Most spiders in Merritt Island are not dangerous and pose no significant threat to humans. Their bites are typically mild, causing minor irritation or itching. However, two spiders in the area—brown recluse and widow spiders—can be harmful if they bite.

When to Worry About Spider Bites

While most spider bites are harmless, bites from venomous species can lead to symptoms such as:

Pain and redness at the bite site
Muscle cramping or stiffness
Fever, chills, or nausea
Skin ulceration or necrosis (in severe cases of recluse bites)

If you suspect a bite from a venomous spider, seek medical attention immediately.
