Wolf Spiders in northern Nevada
Wolf spiders are the large, hairy, fast-moving spiders that make people jump when one darts across the floor. They don't build webs, they hunt on the ground, so they wander in from desert landscaping, garages, and ground-level doors, especially in late summer and fall around Reno and Sparks. They look intimidating, but they're not aggressive and prefer to flee.
Why it matters
Wolf spiders are not dangerous, a bite is rare and no worse than a bee sting, but their size and speed are alarming, and their presence means other insects are around to hunt.
The fix
Spider Control
Wolf Spiders are covered by our spider control service. Knock down webs and the insects that feed them for cleaner corners and eaves.
