This type of spider is all over our house. We see about 5 to 10 a week inside the house and garage. Should my family be worried? What is the best kind of pesticide to keep them out of our house? Thank You!

Looks like a wolf spider - not dangerous, and common to find indoors. No specific control recommended.

Thanks. I thought he might be too small for a wolf spider, it I guess I was wrong.

Wolf spiders come in a wide variety of sizes...

Like all of us, they start out small and grow bigger. Wolfs hunt other spider, so we keep a few in the house.
