General Disclaimer

The information and tools provided by BugSpotter (“https://www.spidertip.com”) are for general educational and identification purposes only. Everything here is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, or completeness of any information or result on the site.

Any use of the information or tools is entirely at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure the results meet your specific requirements and to verify them before acting.

Identification & Prevention Only — Not Pest Control or Medical Advice

BugSpotter’s tools — the bug size estimator, the spider vs insect ID key, the benign vs nuisance classifier, the infestation risk checklist, the trap spacing calculator, and the seasonal pest calendar — are designed to help you identify a bug and reduce the conditions that invite pests indoors. They do not constitute pest-control, pesticide-application, structural, or medical advice of any kind. Nothing on this site covers pesticide dosing or application, and nothing covers the treatment of a bite or sting — those questions belong with a licensed pest professional or a medical provider, not with an identification website.

Results Are General Estimates

The tools apply general reference ranges, dichotomous field marks, and standard monitoring guidelines, not a lab-grade species identification. A displayed size band, group, category, risk score, or trap count is a starting point, not a certified result. Always confirm anything that matters — a suspected structural pest, a venomous species, or an active infestation — with a qualified professional.

Why a Result May Look Off

A tool can return a surprising or inconclusive answer when:

• Units are mismatched: entering a length in inches where millimetres are expected (or the reverse) changes the size band entirely.
• Leg or feature counts are approximate: a partially hidden leg, a shed limb, or an immature specimen can throw off the spider-vs-insect key.
• The bug isn’t in our catalog: the benign-vs-nuisance classifier and museum cover common household species, not every possible find.
• Local conditions differ: the seasonal pest calendar reflects general temperate-climate patterns, not your specific city or year.

No Warranty

BugSpotter expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our tools, classifications, or information are error-free or complete, or that the website will be available without interruption.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, BugSpotter shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including property damage, misidentification, or other losses — arising out of or related to your use of our tools and services.
