I live in this... Like 100 year old house(not really,But it seems like it.) And i was in my bedroom when...?

Question

I was watching TV and i saw a figure "floating" down. It looked like a feather at first,but then it went into the light of the TV and... A giant spider that was like, and inch wide and an inch long. I killed the crap out of it but i want to be on the lookout. What types of spiders around PA are known to be poisonous? Also, I was feeding my fish when I looked up at the roof and there was a spider that looked like the combination between a wasp spider and a daddy Long Legger. It had a striped yellow and black body, With legs like a daddy long legger. Again, I killed the crap out of that one too. But what stumped me was... Is it poisonous?
Please help me. I need to know what spiders are poisonous so i know what to look out for. Thanks.

I'm not a big spider fan and they scare the hell outta me. I sleep with a daddy long legger in every corner of my room. I tell you, THEY SCARE THE POOP OUTTA ME! I hate it when i'm trying to watch TV and a big,fat,long legged sucker comes floating down from the sky.Spiders arent my type. /:(

Answer 1

Please don't kill them.They sound like orb weavers,which are some of the most beautiful and helpful spiders,as they eat a lot of insects.There are no poisonous spiders native to Pennsylvania.The next time you see a spider in your house,gently scoop it into a jar or can with a newspaper and put it outside.There's no need to kill something that cannot harm you.

Answer 2

Sounds just like your common Garden spider to me.

Nothing to worry about. Even poison spiders will almost never bite a human. Just be careful not to upset them!

Answer 3

Please don't kill the spiders they really are beautiful creatures that kill other insects. The only spiders that can really hurt you are the brown recluse and the black widow. I have a Chilean Rosehair Tarantula and she is very sweet. Unless you hurt them, They won't bite!!!

Answer 4

I have no idea, but thanks for that just before I go to bed. Just kidding it's fine. You may want to Google Spiders and check it out. All the best;~}
