Is The Spider In My Bronx Home Dangerous?
Spiders are creepy, scary pests. When you start seeing them in your home, it can make you wonder whether or not you're going to get bitten. Fortunately, most of the spiders that you'll find in your Bronx home will not be dangerous to you. While all spiders have venom, the common spiders in the Bronx do not have a venom that is considered a medical threat. Let's take a closer look at these spiders.

Common House Spider
This spider is also referred to as the American house spider, a tiny spider that will create wispy webs in the upper corners of your rooms and tend those webs while you're sleeping. One spider can tend several webs. If an American house spider climbs on you while you're sleeping, you can get bitten. But the pain from the bites isn't likely to wake you. You'll notice a red welt in the morning.

Brown Recluse Spider
This spider is not native to New York, but an infestation of brown recluse spiders can occur in your Bronx home because they can live entirely indoors, and they're able to grow large populations indoors. If they get into your home, they'll probably do it by hitchhiking inside furniture, boxes, and other stored items.
Black Widow Spider
This is another spider that is not native to New York. It will hitchhike into your home. But it doesn't do well inside manufactured structures. You're not likely to have too much trouble with these spiders in New York.
