Brown widow spiders

 

 scientifically known as Latrodectus geometricus, are close relatives of the infamous black widow spiders and are increasingly common in many parts of southern California. Unlike their black counterparts, brown widows have a tan to light brown coloration with orange or yellow markings on their abdomen, making them slightly less conspicuous. However, their venom is still potent and can cause discomfort if bitten. One notable difference between brown widows and black widows is their egg sacs. Brown widow egg sacs are typically smooth, tan, and covered with tiny spikes or protrusions, whereas black widow egg sacs are more irregularly shaped and have a rough, sandpaper-like texture. Our pest control services specialize in identifying and addressing brown widow infestations, offering tailored solutions to ensure the safety and comfort of your home or business.
