: Yesterday I opened a bag of bananas from my local grocer(Bonita brand). A spider about 3 inches diameter popped(literally) out of the bag down to my kitchen floor and disappeared in a crack between my dishwasher and cabinet. It was semi-dark in the room at the time so it was hard to get a look at it. It moved at lightening speed. My impression was that it was not a black spider but light brown. I am terrified that it could be a Brazilian Wandering spider. What should I do? Call and exterminator? How long could it live in New York? We had temps into the 50's at night but summer isn't over yet? We sealed the crack where it went behind the dishwasher but are not sure how much access to walls is behind it. Are these spiders as deadly and agressive as I have read about on the internet? Yes , they are . I don't have information enough to give a positive ID , but yes , IF ( which is a big "if" ) it is a Brazilian wandering spider , steer WELL clear of it. |
