Identification
- Wolf spiders are large and hairy, often causing them to be mistaken for tarantulas.
- They range in size but can grow up to an inch in body length, not including leg span.
- Typically brown, grey, black, or tan with dark markings, most notably a Union Jack impression on their back.
- Unlike other spiders, wolf spiders have eyes arranged in three rows, with two large eyes in the middle.
- They do not build webs but are ground dwellers and can be spotted running across the floor.
Habits
- Wolf spiders are nocturnal and are often seen hunting at night.
- They are solitary spiders that roam alone, not in groups.
- Wolf spiders are fast runners and excellent hunters, often chasing down their prey.
- They prefer to live in sheltered areas such as under stones, in grassy fields, or in leaf litter.
- In homes, they are commonly found in basements, garages, and lower-level areas
Prevention
- Keep your home free of clutter, especially in basements and garages where they might hide.
- Seal cracks and crevices in your home's exterior to prevent them from entering.
- Reduce outdoor lighting at night which attracts the insects that wolf spiders feed on.
- Regularly vacuum and dust to remove any spiders, webs, and egg sacs.
- For persistent wolf spider issues, contact Marett Pest Control for a comprehensive inspection and tailored control plan.
