When spiders are busiest around Chandler
'In the warming temperatures of spring, more insects begin to emerge. Spiders will follow these emerging food sources' (UA Extension); large male wolf spiders and tarantulas wander indoors while searching for females.
University of Arizona Cooperative Extension names the western black widow and the native Arizona recluse (Loxosceles arizonica) as the state's two venomous spiders — the brown recluse (L. reclusa) of the south-central states is not among them. Prevention is weather stripping, screen repair, caulking, and controlling prey insects.
