How to Identify Common Garden Spider

Learn to spot common garden spiders by their distinctive web patterns, body shapes, and colors. Look for orb-shaped webs and striped legs.

📏 Overall Size & Shape

🎨 Covering & Coloration

Brown/yellow with white markings, banded legs

🦵 Appendages

👁️ Head & Sensory Organs

🦷 Mouthparts & Feeding

🔎 Distinctive Marks or Tools

Key Distinguishing Features

  • Burrows: Do not create burrows; instead, spin large, circular orb webs in open spaces.
  • Behaviour: Generally non-aggressive, remain motionless when threatened, and are active during the day.
  • Habitat: Prefer gardens, shrubs, and areas with vegetation where they can anchor their webs.
  • Diet: Carnivorous—feed mainly on flying insects caught in their webs.

Quick Size Comparison

About the size of a cherry tomato, but with longer legs and a thicker body

Why DIY Methods Always Fail

Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:

Manual removal

Problem: Spiders quickly rebuild webs and return
Result: Infestation persists despite repeated efforts

Natural repellents

Problem: Natural repellents lose effectiveness as spiders adapt or ignore them
Result: Infestation persists or returns

Water hose spray

Problem: Spiders quickly rebuild webs after being sprayed
Result: Temporary solution only

Sticky traps

Problem: Spiders can avoid or escape sticky traps due to their light weight and ability to walk over surfaces without triggering the adhesive
Result: Ineffective at significantly reducing spider populations

Stop Wasting Time and Money

The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
