Spider

With over 35,000 species of spiders, surveys indicate that this pest is one of the two most feared creatures by humans (the other is the snake). Spiders occur worldwide and can be found in every state. Ranging in size from the extremely small house spiders to the enormous tropical spiders, this pest can turn up in many strange locations. Although many spiders live in houses, other species will live wherever food can be found. Some species of spiders include tarantulas, jumping spiders, wolf spiders, ground spiders, house spiders and crab spiders. The most dangerous species to humans are the widow spiders, brown recluse spiders, hobo spiders and two species of sac spiders.
