If you have been seeing more spiders than usual around your home, falling asleep can be a little more difficult than usual. What started out as just a single house spider on a curtain is now a wide spread infestation of these scary looking pests. Here is why you are seeing so many house spiders in your home lately.

Where Are These Spiders Coming From?

Let’s be honest. It doesn’t matter if they are dangerous or not, you never want to see spiders in your home. 

When these house spiders multiply, they aren’t invading your home so they can suck your blood or latch onto your neck. There are many other reasons these pests sneak into our homes.

You are not seeing more house spiders because it is getting colder outside. The house spider population is increasing in your home because you have the shelter they need to survive and lay their eggs, not to mention these spiders are able to feed on the other pests that have found their way inside your home.

Yes, that’s correct. If you have a spider problem, you are likely to have other pests-related problems. There may be other pests in your home that you simply cannot see.
