![]() Made of copper metallic plastic, the RESCUE! Spider Trap is attractive yet inconspicuous. Its thin shape allows placement in narrow spaces, and the sturdy plastic shell withstands crushing or breaking. The RESCUE! Spider Trap catches hobo spiders and a variety of other biting and poisonous spiders common in the home. If they're already indoors, the best thing to do is keep the house tidy and place spider traps around your walls to capture them as they scurry about. Spraying for hobo spiders can help stop them from getting in your home, but the spraying is not foolproof. Hobo spiders are part of a genus known colloquially as "funnel-web spiders". These arachnids construct a funnel-shaped structure of silk sheeting and lie in wait at the small end of the funnel for prey insects to stumble into their webs. Definitive proof is still lacking as to whether or not the hobo spider bite causes necrosis or staph infection - oftentimes, a severe reaction like that is caused by the bite of a brown recluse spider. When a hobo spider does bite, it's almost painless, and it may feel like nothing more than a pinprick. The only cases in which it may bite are when going after prey or when trapped against a person’s skin. The hobo spider is not aggressive, and would rather run away than attack. The body length of a hobo spider is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long with a leg span of about 1-2 inches. The name "hobo" is linked to the spider’s presumed spread to distant cities via railways. Hobo spiders are often found in log piles, rock piles/borders/retaining walls, crevices in soil or concrete, or locations where grass meets a building foundation. Hobo spiders are most noticeable and active from August through October, when spiders come indoors to mate. Here's some bad news for people with arachnophobia: It's hobo spider mating season!
