Signs of a Spider Infestation
Most of the spiders in this country produce webs and this is a key way to identify if spiders are present in your home or business.
In general, spiders can be found in dark, secluded areas, both in your home and garden.
-
Look for spider webs - The size and shape of spider webs vary by species. Some are orb-shaped while others are funnel-shaped.
-
Some spider species live in burrows rather than webs, while others are free-ranging and take refuge in crevices.
-
Some species of spiders are attracted to moist environments. Check your basements, walls, sheds and other damp locations.
-
Other species can be found in places such as attics, the junction of a wall and ceiling, closets and storage boxes.
-
Spiders feed on other insects and prey on ants, flies, woodlice and other spiders, so where there is a plentiful supply of other insects, spiders will wait to find their next meal.
As the temperature drops in Autumn, spiders become more active, looking for a mate, and come out of their hiding places. Towards the end of Autumn many die off, but some hibernate until the following Spring.
Spider eggs are laid into a silken sac, on average about 100 eggs in each sac, which may be fixed to a surface, hidden in the web or carried by the female. Signs of the sacs fixed indoors indicate that soon there will be more spiders around.
