It can be easy to fall into the assumption that spiders are more active in the fall than any other time of the year. Wherever you look, you likely see spiders as part of halloween and fall décor. However, this is a common misconception about spiders and how they behave. The fact is, you can have a spider problem on your hands no matter what time of the year it is. These insects are going to be active throughout the year if they have gotten into your home somehow. Effective Pest Services is here to talk about spider activity and what you need to know to keep them out of your home.
Spider Activity Throughout the Year
As mentioned above, spiders can be active during all four seasons of the year. Here is what you can expect from them in all of the seasons:
– Summer: All sorts of pests are a problem in the spring season, spiders included. They are going to be looking for prey to keep them alive and there is a plethora of insects that are easy victims in the summer. If you find messy webs around your home in the summer, make sure you have a pest control specialist working with you to keep them under control.
– Fall: There are many spiders that are mating during the fall months. This is often why you see an increase of them during this time of the year. Black widows are one of them. Once they have mated, they are going to be looking for a protective shelter since they don’t lay eggs until the spring.
– Winter: The food for spiders is going to be limited during the winter months. They will often try their best to get inside of your home during this time as well. They will be finding shelter in the corners of your home, especially in the basement at this time of the year. If you have an attic, they can also be a problem in that portion of your home.
– Spring: As the weather starts to become milder, female spiders will be getting ready to lay their eggs. Their eggs can number in the thousands. It is essential to have your home treated during this season so that you avoid a massive spider infestation that could be problematic for a long time while pest control professionals work to get it under control.
