Understanding Spiders in Gauteng
Gauteng residents are no strangers to spiders. From harmless house spiders to potentially dangerous species, these eight-legged arachnids can be found throughout homes and businesses across the province.

Spider populations in Gauteng tend to increase during the warmer months, particularly from September through March. During this period, you may notice more spider activity inside and around your property as they search for food, water, and suitable places to build webs.

Common Spider Species in Gauteng
Button Spiders (Black Widow)
Button spiders are among South Africa's most medically significant spider species. Recognizable by their glossy black bodies and distinctive red markings, these spiders build irregular webs in dark, undisturbed areas like garden furniture, outdoor toilets, and storage areas.
Brown Button Spiders
Closely related to black buttons, brown button spiders prefer indoor environments like dark corners, behind furniture, and in cluttered areas. Their bites can cause severe symptoms requiring medical attention.
Sac Spiders
Yellow sac spiders are common household pests in Gauteng. These pale-colored nocturnal hunters don't build webs but instead roam at night seeking prey. They often hide in ceiling corners, behind curtains, and in clothing. Their bites can be painful and may cause localized symptoms.
Rain Spiders (Huntsman Spiders)
Despite their intimidating size, rain spiders are generally not dangerous to humans. These large, fast-moving spiders are beneficial predators, controlling populations of insects and even small reptiles. They typically enter homes during rainy periods.
Wolf Spiders
These ground-dwelling hunters are recognizable by their robust bodies and distinctive eye pattern. Wolf spiders are common in gardens and can occasionally enter homes, especially during extreme weather conditions.
