Wolf spiders are larger, thicker spiders that can look a little like miniature tarantulas. Unlike many spiders, they do not spin webs to catch prey. Instead, they hunt and move quickly, which is why you may see them running across floors, driveways, garages, or walls. Their bodies are usually gray or brown with stripes or mottled patterns that help them blend into dirt, grass, and landscaping.

Seeing a large spider suddenly sprint across the room can be unsettling. While wolf spiders are not typically aggressive, they can bite if they feel cornered or threatened. Their presence also often means there are plenty of insects nearby, since wolf spiders hunt other pests for food.

Professional wolf spider pest control focuses on reducing the insects that attract them and blocking the entry points they use to get inside. At BRD Pest Solutions, treatments target the areas where spiders travel while helping seal common gaps around doors, windows, and foundations. This approach helps keep wolf spiders outside where they belong.
