cave / camel spiders in my basement???

Question

these things are everywhere.. and they don't jump away from you, they jump TOWARD you. and i HATE them. are they poisonous? do they bite? how can i get them out my house and basement and bedroom???

Answer 1

They actually aren't spiders, they're solpugids. And No they are not poisonous, they really dont threaten humans at all(much like anything else on this poor planet) but if you're stupid im sure you could get yourself bitten. Just put some antifreeze in your basement...that always worked for me

Answer 2

You may have cave/camel CRICKETS in your basement, but
almost certainly not cave/camel spiders. Neither the cave crickets nor the camel spiders are poisonous. Cave crickets
prefer dark damp places, running a dehumidifier would help
get rid of them. Camel spiders, on the other hand, mostly
like it dry, they often live in deserts. So-called camel spiders
are solpugids, relatives of spiders, scorpions and daddylonglegs. They are more often called sun spiders or
wind spiders. I don't know where the name camel spiders
originated, I heard it for the first time only a few years ago,
whereas the other names have been around a long time.
Sun spiders do not get very large, contrary to what was
said in another answer.

Answer 3

if you have camel spiders living in your basement...you better be living in the middle east...because if you are in the states and camel spiders are here...this is going to be some serious crap. those things are the size of rabbits. Im hoping you didnt mean camel spiders
