A Few Fun Facts About The Common House Spider In Indianapolis

Fun facts about house spiders? Sure. While spiders themselves may not be fun, especially when they get inside your home, it can be fun to learn about these interesting creatures. You might even find some valuable insight that will help you to get them out of your house. Wouldn't that be fun? Let's take a look.

• There are many species of spider that are classified as house spiders.
• House spiders are found all over the world--even the "American" House Spider. But, they are not only found inside houses. They can be found in garages, sheds, underneath eaves, and inside porches and other outside structures.
• House spiders don't prefer to live in the wild. These are commensal creatures that live off of the resources we provide. If you catch a house spider and put it outside, it is only going to come back inside. It doesn't want to be out there.
• A house spider's web is often called a cobweb, and is made up of many crisscrossing strands of sticky silk. You can usually find these webs in corners of rooms and ceilings.
• A house spider is an excellent trapper, preying on any insect that is unfortunate enough to walk or fly into its sticky web. Once caught, the spider will throw silk over its prey and trap it.
• House spiders are easily scared. If their web is disturbed, the spider will quickly drop off the web and go hide, returning later, when the danger is gone.
• House spiders are a real pain to get rid of. If you are seeing these spiders in your home, be aware that they can reproduce quickly and, in a relatively short period of time, become a headache. (No one likes walking into spider webs, or having a spider suddenly drop down in front of them when they are trying to enjoy a quiet breakfast.) Fortunately, there are ways to completely eradicate these pesky critters from your home.
