Spiders are generally categorized by either web spinners or hunters depending on how they catch their prey.
The more insects you have in your house, the more likely you are to have spiders as well!
Hunting spiders wander around searching for their prey or hunt by laying in ambush. The more insects there are inside a building, the more likely it is to have spiders living there. Spiders also like to find refuge in warmer buildings as the nights cool off in the fall.
All spiders have two body regions (cephalothorax and unsegmented abdomen), eight legs, a pair of pedipalps, a pair of jaws and either six or eight eyes. Landscape and lawn management will assist with controlling spiders and other pests from moving into your home. Prune trees and shrub branches, keeping away from the structure. Tall vegetation, such as flowers, grass, weeds, should be cut down and removed from along the foundation perimeter, porches, and entrances of your home. Stacks of firewood should be located AWAY from your building or home. Sticky traps and pest monitors can be places indoors along exterior wall of attached garages, basements, and crawlspaces where spiders are active. A shop vacuum fitted with hose attachment can be used to remove spiders and webs from furniture, corners, sill plates, and joists. A dusting tool with handle can also be used for web removal.
