If You See One of These in Your Home, Donāt Touch It ā Just Run!
Thereās something lurking in homes across the country, and if you spot one, your best bet might be to simply run. Whether it crawls, slithers, or just sits in the shadows, the danger could be realāand more serious than most people realize. Weāre talking about creatures and objects that can pose a serious risk to your safety, health, or even your life.
So, what exactly are we warning you about?
Letās start with one of the most commonly overlooked threats: theĀ brown recluse spider. At first glance, this spider doesnāt look particularly menacing. Itās small, brown, and usually hides in quiet, dark corners like closets, basements, or behind furniture. But donāt be fooledāits bite can cause severe skin necrosis, intense pain, and even systemic reactions. The scariest part? Many people donāt even realize theyāve been bitten until hours later, when symptoms begin to escalate. If you ever spot a spider with a violin-shaped marking on its back, itās time to back away and call pest controlādonāt try to capture or kill it yourself.
But spiders arenāt the only concern.
Another dangerous intruder that can find its way into homesāespecially in warmer climatesāis theĀ coral snake. Known for its bright red, yellow, and black bands, this colorful serpent is also highly venomous. Itās often mistaken for its non-venomous lookalike, the king snake, which has a similar pattern. The rhyme āRed touch yellow, kill a fellow; red touch black, friend of Jackā helps distinguish the two, but when youāre startled, you may not have time to recite poetry. If you see a snake indoors and arenāt 100% sure what it is, keep your distance and alert animal control immediately.
And then thereās the stuff that doesnāt crawl at allāyet is equally dangerous.
