Spiders Spiders!
They creep around your house, eating tiny insects and bugs. Good? Yes. But
they can be a real hazard if you have young children or pets. These eight
legged creepy crawlies become more noticeable in the summer months. They
generally lay their eggs in your roof void during winter and come out in
summer in search of somewhere warm. The
spider body consists of two sections, the cephalothoraxes (a fused head and
thorax region) and the abdomen. Their blood has no red blood cells so in
order to get oxygen into their blood they use lung-books or spiracles. They
have 3-4 pairs of eyes and tiny hair like spines which help their sense of
taste and touch. Once
fertilized, the female lays eggs sac. This sac contains many eggs that are
enclosed in a mass of silken thread. These
eggs hatch inside the sac and the spiderlings will not emerge from the sac
until they have shed their skin once. The spiderlings disperses from their
nest by ballooning silken threads that waft in the wind. As this silken
thread lengthens the spiderlings get carried away from the nest. To reach
an adult stat they must malt numerous times. The
life span of your common web-spinning spiders is generally less than 12
months. The life span of your ground-dwelling spiders is often longer
because they develop slower and can live for a few years. Spiders
are nocturnal creatures and will become more active in the evenings when
light begins to fade. It’s about this time of day that web-spiders begin
construction of their webs and ground spiders will go out in search of
food. Spiders
are cannibals and will kill each other if there is a shortage of food. They
are carnivorous and inject their prey before they consume them. Most spider
bites to human’s result in swelling, but some can inject a toxic substance
that results in death. Stewarts can treat you house for you this
summer. We can treat inside the roof void, inside the house and outside. To
