The hot, dry climate of your Sedona, AZ home can provide hide-outs for poisonous spiders live in the Sedona, Arizona area. Brown Recluse and Black Widow spiders like to hang out in dark, undisturbed areas such as storage sheds, water heater closets, garages, under sinks and in garden gloves or shoes that sit undisturbed. They particularly love clutter and prefer to live under and in between items such as plywood, tarps and cardboard or wood piles lying on the ground. In summary, infrequently used spaces of any kind.

The good news is that spider bites of these types are uncommon. The bad news is that in many cases, what is an actual spider bite is presumed to be another skin condition which when left untreated become more severe; redness, swelling, severe pain, usually eight or more hours after the bite. Researchers have dfound that "up to 80%" of reported spider bites could have been diagnosed as caused by another source. More severe symptoms incluce fever, nausea, vomiting, heaches, abdominal pain, stiffness and swelling of joints, and  on the skin that grows in size and gets worse, refusing to heal.
