Spiders
All over North America a variety of spiders will take up space inside of homes. All 3,000 of these species are predators and will hunt small insects anywhere they are – this includes in your home. Some of the more dangerous species that families in Brookings deal with include:

• Black Widow – most of us can easily identify a black widow spider by the distinct red hourglass symbol that is on their “stomach”. The web that a black widow spider spins is fairly disorganized and can be found near the ground. They prefer to make their webs in areas that provide shelter and allow them to stay hidden, black widow spiders do not like interacting with humans. However, if they feel threatened or, their cover is disrupted a black widow spider will bite a human. The neurotoxic venom that they inject when they bite causes a painful bite. Certain groups of people will have a more significant reaction to a black widow spider bite include small children and the elderly.

• Hobo – It is impossible to identify a hobo spider without looking at it closely under a microscope. They resemble some common house spiders and are only distinguished by some very specific markings on their thorax. Hobo spiders build funnel shaped webs near the ground and then wait for insects to crawl into the funnel. While the hobo spider is widely known for aggressive behavior, overall they prefer to avoid contact with humans. If someone is bit by a Hobo spider, it is usually because they have threatened the spider by picking it up without knowing it was there. Hobo spider venom causes necrosis and pain.

Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be found in all 50 states, including Oregon. These insects will quickly take over the space they are in with one female being able to lay more than 500 eggs per year. Whether they are in a movie theatre, a hotel, an airplane, or a department store, bed bugs quickly cause an infestation wherever they go. They connect themselves to you and your clothes and then travel back home with you where they begin their infestation of your home. Because their breeding is so quick and their behavior is so aggressive, it is difficult to control a bed bug infestation without the intervention of a professional pest technician.
