This was on the front deck of my parents home. They are in their 80’s and I need to know if it is poisonous. If so I need to get someone in here to spray around and in their home.
This is a fishing spider. I think its a white banded fishing spider, Dolomedes albineus. Big but harmless. No need to spray.
Yes it is a Fishing Spider and harmless. Yay!!
I had one in my sink this morning and it was huge. I picked it up and took it outside to a tree where it could hide. It wasn’t aggressive or anything towards me. I see those around outside too here in Oregon. They are harmless from my interactions.
