Will a black house spider attack u or bite u if not threatened?

Small still young. Earlier found bigger ones looked like adults.Will a black house spider attack u or bite u if not threatened?
If the spider does not feel threatened, it will not bite. However, you could threaten it without even knowing. This is most often caused by putting on cloths that have been stored for a long time and the spider took shelter in or reaching around a corner blindly and trapping the spider against a wall with your probing hand.





I am going to assume you mean the Australian funnel web spider species.

They are typically shy and stay inside of their web, so as long as you don't disturb the spider you will be fine. If they do bite, which is not common, their venom can be painful and cause mild sickness, but is not considered dangerous.Will a black house spider attack u or bite u if not threatened?
i have moved many a house spider some very intimidating but none the less never have been bitten.i think anything will defend its self
it probably won't if it's not threatened. Best to keep a distance, though!
