Spiders have an essential role in our environment by helping us keep insect populations in check. However, some spiders are harmful to humans. Spider venom usually results in a slight inflammation, uncomfortable sensation, itching, or swelling in humans. In some cases, there is a more severe reaction to spider bites for humans who are sensitive to spider bites or have other medical conditions.

You will find that spiders live in basements, crawl spaces, attics, air vents or in main living areas, in windows or ceiling corners. Sometimes they hide in dark places. Some action you could take to reduce spider infestation includes keeping the perimeter of your home or structures clean, sealing cracks and crevices, repairing all broken screens and weather stripping, reducing unnecessary lighting outside your home and maintaining adequate cleanliness around your home.

Spiders Make a Mess

Typically, spiders do not cause significant damage to homes. However, they certainly can make a mess. They also may worsen cracks and rotten areas that they use to get in and out of the house. Spiders lay eggs protected by a silk egg sac. Some spiders also use their silk to make webs to catch prey. While most spiders may be helpful in combating pest populations, it is understandable that many people do not want webs and numerous spiders around their homes.
