How Dangerous Are The Wolf Spiders In Streator?

Nighttime Prowlers

Wolf spiders are mostly nocturnal. When you go to sleep at night, they come out to hunt. As they move about inside your home, they can come in contact with you while you sleep. Most of these encounters are likely to pass without any problems. While it is certainly unpleasant to even think about a spider crawling on you while you sleep, it should bring you comfort to know that wolf spiders aren't easily spooked. If you start to move, they're most likely to move off you. Problems arise when they get trapped or feel threatened.

Wolf Spider Habitat

Another comforting thought is that wolf spiders don't prefer to be inside your home. They would much rather live where there is soil, moisture, and a lot of insects to eat. We don't imagine that is a description of the interior of your home. So, when you see a wolf spider sitting on the drain of your tub, keep in mind that it isn't where it wants to be. If you capture it with a cup and piece of cardboard and put that spider back outside, it will thank you. In its own spider way.

Wolf Spider Babies

A wolf spider keeps her egg on her. When you remove a spider from your home, you could potentially be removing several spiders. These spiders don't create webs, so removing webs won't do anything to quell wolf spider populations. On a side note, wolf spiders also carry their hatchlings on them for a time. If you squish her, you may be disturbed to see a hundred little spiders take off in every direction.
