Spider is a common name for about 34,000 species of anthrop animals constituting the order Araneae in the class Arachnida, which also includes scorpions, miles, and ticks. Spiders vape walking legs, anterior appendages bearing fangs and poison glands, and specialized reproductive organs on the second appendages of the male; they commonly make extensive use of silk that they spin. Like other arachnid species, spiders are terrestrial, although a few have adapted to freshwater life by trapping air bubbles underwater and carrying the bubbles with them. Spiders are numerous and occur worldwide. Although most are less than 1 cm long, the largest Theraphosa leblondi of Guyana, has a body length of about 9 cm, and spider Leg spans can be much greater.
How to Identify Spider
- Spiders have 8 legs
- Spiders have simple, no compound eyes
- Their body has two sections: posterior abdomen and anterior cephalothorax
- Spiders have no antennae nor wings
- Most spiders are less than 1 cm long, the largest Theraphosa leblondi of Guyana, has a body length of about 9 cm, and spider Leg spans can be much greater.
How to know if you have a spider infestation
- If you notice one spider it doesn’t mean you’ve full scale infestation
- Spiders are a beneficial and common insect that lives in crevices and cracks around the house and garden
- Signs of an infestation consist of, many living adults, webs or perhaps egg sacs around your garden or home
- It’s typical for spiders to construct overlapping webs in good feeding areas
- In case you start seeing big groups of spiders far more often it might be some time to think of contacting an experienced pest control program
Venom
Spiders are generally carnivorous and feed only on living prey. Then can crush it with processes on the pedipalps, and chelicerae almost always have glands that can inject a venom. The bite of some large spiders can be painful, but most species are too small to break human skin, and only a few dangerous to humans. The latter are mainly the black widow (q.v.) and its close relatives, which are non aggressive and bite humans only in defense. Their painful bite is followed by faintness, difficulty in breathing, and other symptoms; although the bite is seldom fatal, especially if it is inflicted on healthy adults, medical attention for it should be sought at once.
Silk
Spider silk is a fibrous protein that is secreted as a fluid and forms a polymer, on being stretched, that is much stronger than steel and further resists breakage by its elasticity. A single spider can spin several kinds of silk. Although some other invertebrates also spin silk, spiders put this ability to the most spectacular variety of uses. For example, they form draglines that help them to find their way about and to catch themselves if they fall. Small and, especially young spiders spin a “parachute” thread that enable them to be carried by the wind, sometimes for hundreds of kilometers. The males use silk in transferring sperm to the palpal organ, and the females make cocoons with it. SIlk is also used to make nests and other chamber and too line burrows. The most familiar and amazing use of silk by species, however, is in making insect traps called spiderwebs. Once prey was caught in such a web, the spider wrap it in more silk.

Damaged Timber
If you start to notice damaged timber around your home that feels lightweight, easy to break and pull apart with a hollow feeling to it – this is a strong indication of termites being present in your home.
Physically Seeing Termites
Termites are usually thought to be creatures that will hide so well within your home that you would never see them however, if you look along fence lines, in old tree stumps around your property you may typically see them.
Termite Tracks
Termite tracks look like dirt/mud casing tunnels that they build to provide protection from predators so that they can safely move around. If they are not underground than there is a good chance that they will build these tracks in humid places around your home.
