When it comes to spider threats, the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider are the spiders to watch out for. Both of these have a venom that can be dangerous. A bite from a black widow can make a person very sick, and brown recluse venom can have necrotic properties. Of the two, brown recluse spiders are the worst because of their ability to establish themselves inside a home. Black widow spiders are accidental invaders, preferring to be outside.
