i have been getting around 1-2 wolf spiders in my house every week and it is starting to get to me.....
this morning early....i get up to go to the restroom and when i turn on the light in the bathroom....i look down and about 6" from my big toe is a 2" wolf spider in threat posture...i had to do a double take because i have never seen a wolf spider (or whatever it was) in a posture like i am used to seeing my T's in....i had to be sure it was not an escaped T......
i am pretty sure it did not bite me.....and i am glad i found it before it bit one of the kids or something....
is it pretty common for a wolf spider to go into threat posture like that?? i have been around these spiders all my life in this area and this is the very first time i have ever seen this pose from one of these guys......
anyway since it was threatening me and it was a very dark colored spider with no obvious stripes (like a wolfie) i caught the sucker in a jar...i did not see any fiddle markings on it wither so i dont think it was a recluse.....it is probably just one of the darker color morphs of a wolfie...
i currently have Cook's pest control treating the outside of my home and want to call them to treat the inside but i am worried about my T's if they come in and treat specifically for spiders....i would think that if they are treating the outside of my home then there should be a barrier of poison the spiders wouldnt cross...apparently not....
any thoughts from anyone??
