Homes provide many areas for spiders of all types to hide including behind walls, in attics, basements, under furniture, under appliances, and many other darker areas during the day. Sneaky spider species such as the black widow, brown recluse, and some orb-weaving spiders will shy away from the sunlight. Nocturnal spiders like to hide in dark places during the day. Courtship, hunting, and surviving all influence a spider’s actions inside and outside of your home. The activity of spiders during certain seasons depends on the species and their intentions. As such, winter is the worst time for spiders. Unfortunately, spiders also target our homes for their nice and cozy climate. Spiders do not hibernate, instead, they slow down activity to conserve energy in the colder months and emerge for food and mates on warmer days. We all seem to notice an increase in activity in our homes in the late fall and early winter. You may notice patterns that spiders take when it comes to where they nest, set up webs, and what time of the year they come out. And really, anytime you see a spider might be the worst time, right? It seems that no matter how cold or how hot it is, spiders will not go away!
