Spiders
Types of Spiders in Ohio
House Spider
These guys love the quiet corners of your home, building messy webs in basements and garages. While harmless, they can become a nuisance when their webs pile up.
Wolf Spider
Big and fast, wolf spiders aren't fans of hanging around in webs. They're out hunting at night, chasing down bugs like beetles and flies. They might startle you with their size, but don’t worry—their bites aren’t usually a threat.
Brown Recluse
Easily recognized by the violin-shaped marking on their back, these spiders prefer hiding in secluded spaces like basements and closets. Their bites can be dangerous, so it’s best to avoid them if you spot one.
Black Widow
Small and pale, these spiders love hiding in the corners of your home, building sacs behind furniture or in attics. While their bites are rarely severe, they can still cause irritation.
Yellow Sac Spider:

Funnel-Web Spider
Often found near your home’s foundation, funnel-web spiders are known for their funnel-shaped webs. While they don't typically seek out humans, they can make their webs in places that are a little too close for comfort.
- Webs: Webs built in hard-to-reach corners, along your baseboards, or across doorways indicate that spiders are active in your home. Fresh webs could suggest that they’re still around.
- Increased Spider Sightings: Spotting multiple spiders in different areas of your home is a red flag. Spiders tend to hide in quiet, secluded spaces, so seeing them more frequently could signal a growing infestation.
- Egg Sacs: Spider egg sacs are small, round, and usually white or light-colored. Finding one means there could soon be more spiders hatching.
- Bites: If you or your family members are waking up with unexplained bites, spiders could be the cause. Look for any new bite marks and check areas like your bed, basement, or attic for signs of activity.
