White Tail Spiders

A white tail spider is more likely to be found indoors during the summer months. White-tailed spiders are scavengers who dwell in underwood, rocks, vegetation, logs, and debris found in bushes and gardens.

Although the bite of a typical white-tailed spider may be unpleasant, the initial burning sensation, inflammation, redness, and itching at the bite site will typically subside.

Huntsman Spider

Despite their enormous size and rather frightening look, huntsman spiders have not been reported to hurt people or to be hostile. Therefore is not classified as hazardous. However, the bite of these web-spinning spiders may be very painful and cause inflammation.

Regardless, they are very wary and will attempt to avoid human touch. When spotted, they may move at rapid speed to avoid human contact - which makes it harder to catch them.

Redback Spiders

The red-back spider is considered one of the most venomous spiders in Australia. People who got bitten by this kind of spider species have experienced nausea, loss of coordination, and even convulsions.

Redback spiders frequently gather outdoors. They are often seen under logs or behind boulders in the wilderness since they like dark, dry environments. The red-back has been seen in buildings and residential properties living under roof eaves, floors, shelves, plant pots, and gardens.

Wolf Spiders

The wolf spider is a non-threatening species that feed on bugs and is thus not as dangerous as other spiders. Although wolf spiders are not lethal to humans, they may bite and inflict unpleasant symptoms. A wolf spider bite is not much of a concern, since they are not dangerous to humans.

These nomadic spiders do not use their webs to capture their prey, rather they hunt them down.

Daddy Long-legs Spider

Although Daddy-Longlegs is a deadly spider, their fangs are quite too short to bite people.

They feed on smaller pests captured in their webs. Daddy long legs are often seen in dark parts of rooms, such as wardrobes, drawers, and under mattresses.

False Widow Spider

False widow spiders carry pathogenic microorganisms that are resistant to commonly used antibiotics. When its fangs get lodged in human flesh, it transmits illness to unknowing victims.

When this spider bites, venom is released, which may cause the skin to become red, swollen, and irritated. The poison from a sting often results in the formation of a swelling, itchy, red mark on the skin.

Orb-Weaving Spider

The Golden Orb Weaving Spider is found in dry forest areas and woods, coastal sand dune shrubland and mangrove environments.

All orb weaving spiders produce hanging, sticky, wheel-shaped orb webs. Webs are put in gaps between trees and bushes where insects may likely fly through.

Orb weavers are reluctant to attack. Symptoms of their bites are generally minimal or moderate local pain, numbness and inflammation. Occasionally nausea and dizziness might arise following a bite.

If you have been bitten, seek medical treatment if symptoms continue.

Brown Recluse Spider

Brown recluse spiders are not naturally hostile and will usually flee for shelter when feeling threatened. They reside in undisturbed places away from humans. However, when these spiders feel trapped, they are known to bite.

The living brown recluse species range in colour from tan to dark brown. Although the bite is generally not painful, it causes a sharp pain followed by severe soreness that may last up to six to eight hours. Typically, a tiny blister forms at the bite site and the surrounding area may swell.
