Spiders are a common household pest that can cause anxiety and discomfort for many homeowners. These eight-legged arachnids often enter homes in search of food and shelter, especially as the weather changes. Spiders are typically drawn to dark, undisturbed areas such as basements, attics, and closets, where they can spin their webs and catch insects. While most spiders are harmless and even beneficial in controlling other pests, their presence can still be unsettling, particularly if their numbers start to increase.

These little critters can find their way into our homes through cracks and gaps in walls, doors, and windows. They are also frequently introduced via items brought in from outside, such as firewood, plants, and storage boxes. Once inside, spiders can become a persistent problem, especially if there is a steady supply of insects for them to feed on. Certain

species, like the black widow and brown recluse, pose health risks due to their venomous bites, making it crucial to manage spider populations effectively to ensure the safety and comfort of your home.

Female spiders usually do not eat their male counterparts after mating. The female will lay as few as 20-30 eggs in a silken sac. Depending on the species of spider, more than one sac may be made. Once hatched, spiderlings will multiple growing stages, molts, before reaching maturity. Here are few you might encounter in or around your home.
