🔎General Pest Spotlight: Wolf Spiders
🕷️What are they?
Wolf Spiders are common, ground-dwelling hunters found throughout Texas. Unlike many spiders, they actively hunt insects rather than relying on webs to catch their prey.
❓Why do they show up?
Wolf spiders are attracted to areas with plenty of insects to eat and may wander indoors while searching for prey or shelter.
📍Where do they show up?
Outdoors- Look for them in lawns, gardens, mulch, and beneath rocks and debris.
Indoors- They may appear in garages, bathrooms, and other areas near entry points.
🔎How do you identify them?
Look for large, hairy bodies, brown or gray coloring, and dark stripes or markings. They are fast-moving and typically hunt at night.
