Are wolf spiders dangerous?

Wolf spiders are not considered to be a threat to humans. It is rare for a wolf spider to bite a human unless being handled or threatened. Wolf spiders are typically outdoor hunters that prey on many insects and spiders you would consider pests. Wolf spiders can be considered a beneficial spider. 

Wolf spider habitat.

Wolf spiders hunt their prey instead of catching their prey in a web, like most other spiders. Wolf spiders tend to remain near the ground often found under stones or leaves. Unlike most spiders, the wolf spider has excellent eyesight which makes spotting its prey easier. Some wolf spiders will lay in underground burrows waiting for prey to come near where they can pounce on them while others chase after and stalk their prey.

Usually wolf spiders are not an indoor pest problem. When hunting prey they may venture inside though. If this happens it is usually a solitary incident since wolf spiders hunt alone.
