Spider Removal Services in Ithaca 

In general, spiders are not looking to hurt humans. It is important to remember that though spiders are much, much smaller than humans, that does not make them completely harmless. There are many different species of spiders that are found in Ithaca and Tompkins County, and some of them can be harmful to humans. However, that does not mean that every spider you encounter can pose a risk to you, your family, or your employees. 

Spiders commonly found in New York include: 

• Sac spiders: These spiders can be harmful to humans and are identifiable by their pale bodies and black feet.
• Nursey web spiders: These spiders look similar to wolf spiders and are harmless to humans.
• Funnel web spiders: These spiders are dark brown and can bite but are not poisonous.
• Black and yellow garden spiders: These spiders are one of the biggest in the state but are not poisonous.
• Sheet web weaver spiders: These spiders are very small and tend to prefer to hide in vegetation.
• Wolf spiders: These spiders are large and fuzzy and can bite humans but are not poisonous.
• American house spiders: These spiders are one of the most common domestic species and are harmless to humans.
