american House spiders
Identification

Colour: Tan-brown with brown patterns
Size: Females are 5 to 9 mm long and males are 3 to 5 mm
Features: Male legs have an orange tinge, whereas female legs have a yellow tint. Comb-like hairs on the legs and black rings, particularly around the leg joints, are distinguishing features of the American house spider.

Infestation Indicators
 American house spiders or also known as common house spiders vary greatly in appearances according to species. In addition to finding an American house spider infestation sometimes entails finding cobwebs in windows, ceiling corners, and between or below various household furnishings. Spider corpses are another sign of an infestation issue.

How Concerned about American House Spiders Should I be?
Although American house spiders generally bite when startled, when they do, the bites can leave a red mark and be itchy for several hours. Additionally, an ordinary American house spider may lay thousands of eggs during its lifetime, meaning that if infestations are not managed, they might get out of control. Contact Max Pest Control to get them removed from your home or business if an American house spider infestation takes over.

black widow spiders

Identification

Colour: Females are jet black
Size: 5 to 14 mm long ( females are around 10 to 14 mm long)
Features: Black widow spiders vary somewhat in appearance depending on gender and range in colour from black to brown. Both sexes of black widows in their juvenile phases feature yellow, red, and white bands and spots on their backs, with the female having a red hourglass-shaped pattern on its belly.

Infestation Indicators 
The black widow's messy web may be the first indication of an infestation. Webs indicate spider activity, whether recent or previous and are frequently discovered below furniture or in the corners of basements and storage spaces. Being attacked by a black widow spider or running into sizable numbers of spiderlings hatching during the warmer months during mating season typically indicates an infestation issue.

How Concerned about Black Widow Spiders Should I be?
 Although black widow spiders are not hostile to people and only bite when they feel threatened, however, their venom is toxic to the nervous system. This impacts the nerve system and results in symptoms including fever, weakness, chills, edema, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing. You should get medical help right away if you've been bitten by a black widow spider.

 You must act as soon as you detect an infestation due to the possibility of severe bites and the spiders' ability for fast reproduction. A black widow spider infestation may only be stopped in its tracks by a qualified pest control company.

jumping spiders
Identification

Colour: Black, brown, grey with yellow, white, red or green markings
Size: 4 to 20 mm long
Features: They have four big eyes and a muscular, compact body covered in hair. The bold jumper, the most prevalent species in Canada, has a black body, white-striped legs, and triangular white spots on its belly.

Infestation Indicators
Jumping spiders usually are located in gardens, fields, and forests. Since they hunt more effectively with the aid of sunshine, residents are more likely to see jumping spiders during the day. They frequently gather around doorways, windows, and other well-lit locations. Look for leaping and extremely quick crawling to appropriately identify the pests.

How Concerned about Jumping Spiders Should I be?
The jumping spider may bite, however its bites are not harmful. They tend to run away from danger rather than bite. However, especially for those who have arachnophobia, their quick movements and capacity for large jumps can be unsettling.

 Even while there are certain preventative measures you may take, it can be challenging to keep jumping spiders out. If you are concerned that jumping spiders will invade your house or place of business, hire a professional pest control company to prevent their return.

wolf spiders
Identification

Colour: Grey, black, orange, and brown
Size: 35 mm and up
Features: In addition to having eight eyes, wolf spiders are hairy.

Infestation Indicators
 Finding an adult spider in the dark may be a sign that the arachnid lives nearby as wolf spiders are nocturnal. Wolf spiders frequently reside in leaf litter, grassy areas, and tiny burrows or tunnels, while breeding places and preferences differ by species. People hardly ever have to worry about managing a significant wolf spider infestation or even coming across more than one at a time because of their preference for isolation.

How Concerned about Wolf Spiders Should I be? 
Wolf spiders tend to frighten people, especially those who have arachnophobia, despite the fact that they are more beneficial than dangerous. If handled or caught close to human flesh, they will bite, although their venom is neither strong nor deadly, feeling more like a pin prick or bee sting.

The best course of action is to contact a professional pest control company if you are experiencing discomfort due to the presence or suspected presence of wolf spiders.
