How to Identify House Spider
Learn to spot house spiders by their small size, brown or gray color, and web patterns in corners, basements, or undisturbed areas.

🔎 Distinctive Marks or Tools

Key Distinguishing Features
- Burrows: Do not create burrows; instead, spin irregular, tangled webs in corners and undisturbed areas indoors.
- Behaviour: Shy and non-aggressive; rarely bite and usually retreat when disturbed.
- Habitat: Commonly found in homes, basements, sheds, and garages, especially in dark, quiet spaces.
- Diet: Feed on insects and other small arthropods caught in their webs.
Quick Size Comparison

Result: Infestation quickly returns

Essential oils
Problem: Essential oils evaporate quickly and lose potency
Result: Spiders return once the scent fades
Seal cracks and gaps
Problem: Spiders can enter through tiny, unnoticed openings
Result: Infestation persists despite sealing efforts
Sticky traps
Problem: Sticky traps only catch individual spiders, not the entire infestation
Result: Infestation persists despite some spiders being trapped
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
