Frequently Asked Questions

What attracts spiders?

There are many possible reasons for a spider outbreak in your home. These might include:

An already established pest infestation
Excess clutter or unclean areas
Hidden areas with unnoticed moisture buildup
Yard waste that has been left out or close to the house

Why are there spiders in my house?

Spiders are always on the hunt for a meal and a good place to retreat to. They will make your house their home if they find areas with lots of clutter or a dusty corner to hide in. Spiders will also stick around if you have a preexisting insect problem.

Where do spiders live?

There are a wide range of spider species in the world, resulting in a great variety of preferred environments. Here in Central and Eastern Virginia, spiders can be found spinning webs on plants and trees, inhabiting crawl spaces in our houses, and seeking shelter indoors or in our yards in areas with lots of clutter.

Why do spiders bite?

Most types of spiders are timid by nature and will flee instead of biting. People usually only experience a spider bite when a spider accidentally becomes trapped between them and a wall or they try to trap one with their hands.

What do spiders eat?

Spiders eat insects of many sorts. Younger spiders start off small with fruit flies and midges, then graduate to larger ones like bees, wasps, moths, and all kinds of flies. Having an excess of insects on or around your property is the most common reason for an increase in spider sightings.

How do spiders make webs?

Spiders make webs to trap insects using a special kind of silk that they create in their abdomen. They use spinning organs called spinnerets to solidify the substance and expel it from their bodies in intricate patterns. Spiderwebs are harmless, but indicate that there are spiders nearby.

What do spider bites look like?

It can be easy for some weaker spiders to bite you without your knowledge. Their bites will result in a small raised bump with a red ring around it. In more serious cases, the bite could grow purple and blue or into an open sore. It might also come with stomach cramps, fever, chills, and aches.

What do spider eggs look like?

Spiders lay hundreds of eggs into woven silk pouches called egg sacs. They are usually around the size of the body of the spider that laid them and are often white in color, but this varies by species. If you find an egg sac, get rid of it quickly before your house is teeming with hundreds of baby spiders.
