Spiders
A Spider Guide For Montgomery, Chester & Delaware Counties
What are spiders?
ARE SPIDERS DANGEROUS?
Why do I have a spider problem?
Food, water, and shelter attract spiders to properties. Spiders live, breed, and feed outside in dark, quiet, sheltered spaces. However, spiders often find their way inside homes and other buildings while out and about searching for food. Open doors or windows, torn screens, and spaces in the foundation are all common spider entrance points. In addition, spiders can become problematic inside homes in the fall and winter months when they follow overwintering insects inside. They can also be introduced into homes on potted plants, inside boxes or packages, or on outdoor furniture that has been brought inside from outdoors.

WHERE WILL I FIND SPIDERS?
Spiders living outdoors create their webs or burrows in gardens, shrubs, bushes, overgrown vegetation, tall grasses, tree branches, between rocks and stones, underneath decks or porches, in wood piles, and in other protected spaces. When living inside, spiders hide out in dark, quiet, and out-of-the way places like closets, basements, attics, crawl spaces, walls voids, and cupboards. They can also be found inside clothing and shoes, underneath bedding, and in potted plants.
