Is your pup safe from spiders? đŸ•·ïžđŸ¶ On today’s episode of Buzzin' About Pests, Mark Buzz and Anna Bugs tackle a creepy-crawly topic every pet owner needs to hear: black widow spiders and the danger they pose to dogs. These venomous arachnids love to lurk in dark corners of yards, garages, and sheds—exactly the kind of places your dog loves to sniff around. We break down how a single bite can cause serious symptoms like muscle tremors, vomiting, and even paralysis due to the spider’s potent neurotoxin.

Anna shares tips on spotting the warning signs (even when they look like something else), and Mark offers a few surprising spots black widows love to hide. Most importantly, we emphasize that immediate vet care is crucial—and that prevention is the best medicine.

So, if you’ve got dogs and you’re in black widow country, don’t wait for a bite to take action. Reach out to Simple Pest Management, your local pest pros, for expert spider control that keeps your home and pets safe. Visit www.simplepest.com to grab your free quote today!
