Spider spray? No!
Wikipedia says:
[Wolf Spiders] patrol our pastures and fields and are an important natural control on harmful insects.
....
The wolf spiders are capable of giving defensive bites, and some South American species may give bites that are medically significant. However, in general their presence works very much in favor of humans wherever they are found. |
