How Dangerous Are Spiders in Texas?

By definition, spiders are venomous in that venom that is used to paralyze and kill other insects they prey upon. The good news is that the venom from your typical house spider won’t cause any serious symptoms. A bite from one of the below spiders can be much more dangerous, which is why it’s so important to be able to identify them:

1. Black widow spider. Female black widows can be easily recognized by the red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen.
2. Brown recluse spiders. The brown recluse spider can be identified by the darker brown hourglass on its back.
3. Brown widow spider. Dark brown or black spiders can be identified by the orange or yellow hourglass shape on the abdomen.

Seeing a spider or two from time to time is typically normal, especially house spiders. Thankfully, these house spiders are almost always harmless! In fact, indoor spiders will help keep the insect population inside your home under control and will avoid contact with you. If you notice any of the aforementioned spiders, however, it’s usually best to avoid contact and enlist the help of a professional spider exterminator.
