How to Identify Wolf Spider
Wolf spiders are robust, fast-moving hunters with hairy bodies, distinctive eye patterns, and often carry their egg sacs attached to their spinnerets.
📏 Overall Size & Shape
⚠️ Active infestation
🎨 Covering & Coloration
Brown to gray, hairy, with mottled patterns.
🦵 Appendages
⚠️ Infestation evidence found
👁️ Head & Sensory Organs
⚠️ Insect remains detected
🦷 Mouthparts & Feeding
⚠️ Silk trails indicate presence
🔎 Distinctive Marks or Tools
⚠️ Burrowing activity detected
Key Distinguishing Features
- Burrows: Do not build webs; instead, dig or use natural crevices for burrows, often lined with silk.
- Behaviour: Active hunters that chase prey rather than trap it; mostly nocturnal and quick-moving.
- Habitat: Prefer ground level, grassy areas, leaf litter, and sometimes enter homes at ground level.
- Diet: Carnivorous—feed on insects and other small arthropods they catch while hunting.
Quick Size Comparison
About the size of a golf ball, but with a longer, thicker body.

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Seal cracks and crevices
Problem: Wolf spiders can enter through doors, windows, and vents, not just cracks and crevices
Result: Only partially reduces infestation

Essential oils (peppermint or tea tree) spray
Problem: Wolf spiders are not significantly repelled by essential oils
Result: Infestation persists despite repeated spraying
Sticky glue boards
Problem: Wolf spiders can easily walk over or around sticky glue boards due to their long legs and agility.
Result: Ineffective at trapping or reducing the spider population.
Vacuuming regularly
Problem: Wolf spiders hide in hard-to-reach places
Result: Many spiders and eggs remain untouched
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
