    What is the difference between 10 legged and 8 legged spiders
    Large brown spider, 2 white stripes on back , 8 legged. Sometimes they will jump at you. They have invaded my house. Are they poisionous? How can I safely get rid of them? I would like them outside, way outside.

    Could be Hobo Spiders

    Measures aimed at controlling hobo spider populations should start by eliminating suitable habitat around infested areas. In the late summer and early fall these spiders (particularly females) and their webs can be found beneath rocks, wood, lawn ornaments and debris; hobo spiders inhabit the undersides of objects such as this, and require a small amount of space between the soil and the bottom of the object chosen as a web site. When placing decorative objects in gardens or lawns, firmly anchoring the base of these items into the soil (leaving no space between the soil and the objects' base) will prevent spiders from nesting there. The undersides of decorative railroad ties are a favorite micro-habitat of hobo spiders; anchor the base of ties firmly into the ground, and use caulking or other sealant to close off cracks between stacked ties.

    The hobo is a spider which often enters living quarters when searching for mates, etc. Keeping hobo spiders out of houses in heavily infested areas is a challenge. In such areas one should inspect the foundation of dwellings and seal off potential entry-ways such as deep cracks in concrete, spaces beneath doors, loose fitting panels in window wells, etc. Screening off dryer vents from the outside is also recommended. Dealing with hobo spiders inside of dwellings should include routine household cleaning, making certain to thoroughly vacuum in corners and closets, behind furniture, and underneath beds.
