<\/span><\/h4>\nTechnically, grass spiders aren’t poisonous but are venomous. They have venom, like all spiders, to catch their prey. Grass spider fangs are small, so they usually can’t bite through human skin easily. But babies and older people, who have thinner skin, might be at more risk if bitten.<\/p>\n
Grass spiders are shy and don’t usually try to bite people. They might bite if they feel scared. If they do bite and manage to break the skin, their venom could cause skin sores and infections. It’s safer to let pest experts handle grass spiders if they’re on your property.<\/p>\n
