What are wolf spiders?
Wolf spiders are found throughout the United States and are generally dark brown in color with pale, cream, or even yellow stripes or markings.
Adult females range in size from 3/8th to 1 and 3/8th of an inch in length; males are smaller in size.
They have eight spiny legs that allow them to move very quickly even though their bodies are described as stout and robust.
Their eyes are uniquely arranged with four small eyes in the bottom row, followed by two large eyes in the middle row, and two medium eyes in the top row.
Wolf spiders get their name from the fact that they do not use a web to catch their prey but instead hunt and chase down their prey like a wolf.
Are wolf spiders dangerous?
Wolf spiders look scarier and more dangerous than they really are. They are large, fast-moving spiders that will usually only bite if provoked or threatened. The venom from a wolf spider bite is typically not dangerous to humans.
Why do I have a wolf spider problem?
Wolf spiders are generally found outside hiding under rocks, landscaping timbers, leaf piles, woodpiles, and other similar areas. They sometimes make their way inside of homes, garages, and sheds as they are hunting for food. They don’t actively seek out indoor shelter but once they get inside they tend to stay inside.
