With access to specialised tools, our skilled team know how to get rid of white tail spiders to ensure a safe and pest-free environment.
Where Do White Tail Spiders Like to Hide?
A white tail spider prefers dark and sheltered areas, which means they’re commonly found behind furniture, in closets, under sinks and in piles of clothing or clutter. They also like to hide in crevices and cracks in walls, ceilings and floors.
What Does a White Tail Spider Look Like?
White tail spiders are characterised by their elongated body and distinctive white or cream-colored marking at the tip of their abdomen, which is why they’re commonly referred to as a white tip spider. They typically range in size from 1 to 2 centimetres in length.
How to Get Rid of White Tail Spiders Naturally
Green Pesty advocates for eco-friendly pest control methods. To naturally deter white tail spiders, it’s essential to keep your home clean and clutter-free, seal cracks and crevices where they may hide and use natural repellents such as citrus oil or vinegar spray. Reducing the presence of other insects can also help decrease the food source for white tail spiders.
Can a White Tail Spider Kill You?
White tail spider bites can cause discomfort and may lead to allergic reactions in some individuals, they aren’t considered lethal. However, it’s essential to seek medical attention if bitten, especially if the person bitten is experiencing severe symptoms.
