Around the world, there are 40,000 unique spider species and all of them are problematic. There could be more. However, rest assured knowing not all of them are found in our area. Spiders can inject venom into their victims and build webs by extruding silk from their bellies. They build webs that are used to trap insects and prey. Once insects are trapped, the spiders will move in and kill them. Most spiders in our area kill insects and other spiders. However, some of the larger species can kill birds and lizards. Thankfully, you’re not going to encounter these spiders in Atlanta.
On average, spiders can live up to 25 years when kept in protected environments. When they’re living in the wild, they’ll die within a few years. You can determine the gender of the spider by looking at its size. Female spiders are larger when they reach adulthood. Male spiders are smaller but they have bigger palps. Although you can find female spiders in homes, male spiders are more common. They often enter homes when searching for female mates.
Spider Dangers

If this happens, you might get injected with venom. With that being said, it is a good idea to carefully monitor the bite wound and your condition. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you’ll need to get medical assistance.
Reasons Spiders Invade Homes

However, there is a chance that a male spider is going to enter your home while searching for a female mate.
