Why do I have a spider problem?
Spiders are a vital part of the ecosystem and are important predators. Outside, in our yards and gardens, spiders usually aren’t problematic. Spiders in outdoor spaces help control insect populations that harm people, trees, and crops.
Unfortunately, spiders are regular visitors to our properties because they provide them with access to their basic needs of food, water, and shelter. Spiders become problematic when these predators take over our yards in large numbers, when dangerous spiders find their way to our properties, or when spiders move into and become comfortable in our homes.
Where will I find spiders?
Like other predators, spiders live most successfully in areas with easy access to their insect prey. Outside, spiders live in wooded areas, meadows, and crop fields. Near our homes, they hang out around trash cans, outdoor eating areas, trees, gardens, and exterior lights.
Most spiders are shy and naturally reclusive, so when they are in our homes, spiders hang in quiet like crawl spaces, basements, vents, window sills, and light fixtures. Spiders hang out in areas of our homes that usually have the most insect activity, like kitchens, bathrooms, and dining areas.
