At certain times of the year, the possibility of certain types of spiders appearing is greater. The armadeira spider, one of the most dangerous, is easily found in the months of April and May, mainly in the Southeast region of Brazil. This occurs after a period of rain, when the males, already adults, go out looking for females. For this reason, it is common to find them inside houses. Below I will provide more details about the wandering spider.

The reproduction of spiders can occur at any time of the year, however, in the months of April and May, and in periods of rain, there is a greater possibility of this species appearing in the Southeast region.
After all, is it possible to prevent these spiders from appearing?
According to the specialist in arachnids, Alexandre Michelotto, fumigation is not a good option, as it is effective only to kill insects and not spiders.
Even insects are a food source for spiders, so if you kill them, there is a high possibility that spiders will go inside the houses.
So, the best thing to do is to close the doors and windows well with an effective seal, in addition to always checking your clothes and shoes.
What to do if the animal appears at home?
Experts advise removing the spider with the help of a broom and then placing it in a pot with a lid and releasing it in a forest region. Or contact the responsible bodies.
If in the act of collecting the animal you end up being stung by it, doctors advise you to seek emergency care as soon as possible.
In the case of children, care has to be the most appropriate, as one of the main details about the wandering spider is that the bite of one can lead to death.
What about pet bites?
The indication is almost the same when compared to humans. As soon as you see that your pet has been stung, immediately take it to the nearest veterinary hospital. Usually in adult animals there are no serious symptoms.
The animal can stay up to 24 hours in the hospital to be observed in relation to possible symptoms.
