California is home to over 60 species of spiders including three kinds of highly venomous varieties of widows. Most spiders are harmless and prefer to avoid human contact altogether.
Though spiders are not seeking to hurt anyone, they will bite if they feel cornered or in danger themselves. But because spiders are small, you may not realize that a spider has crawled into your shoe, or your sweatshirt that was on the floor so when you put it on, you have trapped a spider next to your skin. Because spiders can hide in unexpected places, you may get a painful bite, even if the spider’s venom is not dangerous to humans. Be sure to shake out any clothing left on the floor or check your shoes before you put your foot inside so that you do not accidentally trap a spider, causing it to bite you.
If you still manage to get spiders in your home even after following the above prevention tips, rest assured that all hope is not lost. If you would like to treat spiders yourself, you can try spider traps, insecticides that kill on contact, indoor insecticide barriers, or natural repellents like essential oils. But spiders are clever and can be difficult to eradicate.
