Preventing Spider Problems

There are many ways to make your home less appealing to spiders. If there are cracks in your foundation or around windows and doors, seal them up.

Check places where water pipes and electrical lines enter your house, and caulk any openings.

Keep woodpiles and debris away from your house.

In storage areas, put boxes up off the floor and away from walls.

Seal boxes with tape to keep spiders from living inside them. In general, cleaning up clutter will mean you have fewer spiders.

Pruning vegetation away from your house and keeping the area next to the foundation clear will also make your house less attractive to spiders.

Outdoor lighting sometimes attracts insects, which in turn attracts spiders. You can move outdoor lighting away from windows and doors if this is a problem around your home.

Removing Spiders

You can remove a spider from inside your house by putting a jar over it. Then slip a piece of paper under the jar so that the opening is sealed, pick up the jar, and take the spider outside.

A broom is also a useful tool for moving a spider outside. - http://www.pesticide.org/spiders.html

Answer 2

i live in florida also they are most likely wolf spiders they are completley harmless but the other most common is the brown recluse which are extremly poisoness, you can tell if its a brown recluse if it had a violin type mark on their back, it is best if u get an extermanater to come out and spray around the house thats what we do every so months and it pretty much keeps them away hope this helped:]  

Answer 3

FL has many very large spiders.  Some bite but are not particularly poisionous, Some don't generally bite humans.   Some can be dangerous.   Without a picture and description itis impossible to know which you have there.   Since we don't know the best thing is to avid them whenever possible.   You can do a net search for spider identification or call your county agriculture agent with more specific info to find out more.
