Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider crawled out from under my radiator while vacuuming. Would like to know what kind it is to know if I should be concerned if there are others?

Help please – this spider crawled out from under my radiator in living room and I would really like to know if I should be concerned if there are others.

Hi, see above image for ID. 🙂 (Wolf Spider) This isn’t an indoor species so it wandered in by mistake. If you see more of them you can reduce their numbers by sealing cracks around floors, doors, windows, foundation etc., vacuum everywhere and empty the canister outside. They’re not considered to be of medical significance (everyone’s immune system is different though) and are unlikely to bite except in self defense.
