Out of all 35,000 species in the world, only two spiders present significant danger in San Diego County, Orange County and Riverside County. Perhaps the most notorious spider is the black widow. Highly recognizable by its 1.5″ length, a black or brown color, severe legs, and its trademark - the rust-colored hourglass shape that adorns its abdomen.

And they're everywhere! You can't spill a drop of soda without finding a horde of them a couple hours later, feasting on that sweetness. They get in our cupboards, in our laundry and even in our pet's food (there's nothing quite as sad as listening to little Whiskers meow at the ants in her kibble). But domestic and commercial settings are just the tip of the iceberg of places that ants like to populate.

Both were around long before we came around, and both will probably linger long after humans are just piles of dust and iPhones. However, only one of these species will find its way into your home (unless we're talking about the dreaded Land Shark, in which case, you're going to need more firepower than Lloyd uses to exterminate them). Yes, roaches have been infesting people's homes and commercial spaces for as long as humans have existed, no doubt giving ancient cave-dwellers the heebie-jeebies.
