How to Identify Cellar Spider
Cellar spiders have long, thin legs and small bodies. Look for them in dark, damp areas like basements, corners, and crawl spaces.
📏 Overall Size & Shape
⚠️ Active infestation
🎨 Covering & Coloration
Pale, translucent body with brown markings
🦵 Appendages
⚠️ Hidden spider breeding site
👁️ Head & Sensory Organs
⚠️ Possible spider hotspot
🦷 Mouthparts & Feeding
⚠️ Silk buildup—check for spiders
🔎 Distinctive Marks or Tools
⚠️ Increased molting activity
Key Distinguishing Features
- Burrows: Do not create burrows; instead, spin irregular, tangled webs in corners and undisturbed areas.
- Behaviour: Hang upside down in webs, vibrate rapidly when disturbed, rarely leave their webs.
- Habitat: Commonly found in basements, cellars, garages, and dark, damp indoor spaces.
- Diet: Feed on small insects and other spiders caught in their webs.
Quick Size Comparison
About the size of a paperclip, but with much longer, spindly legs.

Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Vacuuming
Problem: Spiders and eggs often remain hidden in cracks and crevices
Result: Only removes visible spiders, not the entire infestation

Seal Cracks and Gaps
Problem: Cellar spiders can already be inside
Result: Does not eliminate existing infestation
Essential Oils Spray
Problem: Essential oils evaporate quickly and spiders are not strongly repelled by their scent
Result: Minimal or no long-term impact on spider population
Sticky Traps
Problem: Cellar spiders can avoid or escape sticky traps due to their long legs and light bodies
Result: Ineffective for reducing infestation
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
