When is the Busiest Time of Year For Spiders?
Finding a spider is typically not someone’s highlight of their day, especially if it’s in their home. When the temperature starts to drop, you may feel like you see more spiders than usual. Well, you’re right, autumn signifies the falling of leaves as well as the start of spider season. Bee Smart Pest Control is an expert at preventing and eradicating all pests, and spiders are no different. We have all the knowledge you need about spider season.
What is Spider Season?
Spider season starts at the beginning of autumn. It’s the time of year that spiders start to try to come inside more often. It becomes significantly more likely to see a spider during the autumn because they’re constantly moving around, more so than any other season. It usually starts in September or October, depending on your region.
Why does Spider Season Occur?
In the fall, spider season starts because that’s when spiders start looking for mates. Female spiders start preparing to have their clutch of eggs and start hunkering down. They’ll nest anywhere from inside your attic to outside in our yard, anywhere they deem safe. They also start giving off a pheromone to attract male spiders. It works like a perfume, and the males can sense it with special receptors on their legs. On the flip side, spider season is also when a male spider’s reproduction organs become functional. Once that happens the male spiders stop focusing on hunting and instead focus on finding a mate. You’ll see more spiders because male spiders are constantly moving around to try to find their new partner.
How can you Prevent Spiders?
One of the best ways to prevent spiders is to keep your home clean. Spiders like to stay in dark areas that aren’t frequented by humans, as well as cluttered or cramped spaces. Minimizing the clutter in your home leaves fewer areas for spiders to nest. Throughout the year you should also focus on eliminating other pests around your home. Any type of insectoid infestation will attract spiders, and spiders attract more spiders during spider season. Cleaning up spills and keeping food items sealed is a great way to avoid most pests. You may find DIY spider prevention techniques online, but they tend to not be very effective.
