When it comes to Palmerston North pest control White Tails are active hunters, preying upon other types of spiders, and may be found roaming inside houses, especially in warmer weather. White Tail spiders have been implicated in cases of ulceration or necrosis following spider bites. The incidence of ulceration following the White Tail spider bite is not known. The majority of cases appear not to develop ongoing ulceration, although blisters and redness are common.
How to know a white-tailed spider when seeing one?
According to Pest Control Palmerston North Ltd White Tail Spiders are slender looking, 1-2 cm in length, typically grayish or sometimes brownish in colour with orange to brown banded legs and usually with a distinct cream-white marking on the tip of the tail. Males and juveniles may have additional white spots on either side of the abdomen.
The leg span of a fully grown specimen is about the size of a fifty-cent coin. The two species present in Palmerston North pest control: Lampona cylindrata and Lampona murina cannot easily be distinguished from one another without close examination under a microscope.
Where are they found?
The White Tail spider’s preferred habitat is under dry bark and plants, but they will often be found inside houses, where they look for shelter from the light after hunting at night. They are also known to move indoors in the winter to seek shelter from the cold and there they find plenty of their favourite prey; grey house spiders.
The White Tail spider often hides in clothing and shoes, especially if they have been left lying on the floor. As White Tails eat many other kinds of spiders one sign that White Tail spiders are sharing the house is that there are few cobwebs and there are no other spiders to be found.
The nests of White Tail spiders are tangled masses of webbing. These are often found in dark dry areas such as roof voids. For more information simply contact Pest Control Palmerston North Ltd at https://www.facebook.com/PestControlPalmerstonNorth
