Expert Pest Control Services in Joplin, MO

The city of Centerton is home to a variety of spider species. Most of them are harmless and even beneficial in controlling local insect populations. Some species, however, pose more of a threat. Brown recluse spiders are one of the area’s infamous poisonous spider species. Also called a “fiddleback” spider because of the distinct, violin-shaped marking on its back, the brown recluse spider ranges in color from light tan to dark brown. The marking on its back is black, and its legs are covered in short hairs. A brown recluse spider ranges from ½ to 1 inch long and it likes to hide away in remote, dark areas like cabinets, basements, piles of clothing, attics, closets, etc. Brown recluse spiders are one of the most misidentified species. Some of the more common spiders that are often confused with the rarer brown recluse include the wolf spider, the house spider, the cellar spider, and the yellow sac spider.
