Have you ever noticed that you see more spiders in your home during certain times of the year? You’re not alone! Spiders are more active in some seasons due to changes in weather, food availability, and their natural life cycle. Here’s why these creepy crawlers seem to show up more often during specific seasons.

1.Spring: Spiders Wake Up

As temperatures rise, spiders that have been hiding during the cold months become more active. Spring is also mating season, so you might see more spiders moving around as they search for mates.

2.Summer: More Insects, More Spiders

Summer brings an increase in insect activity, providing an abundant food source for spiders. You may find spiders building webs near lights, windows, or in corners where insects gather.

3.Autumn: Spiders Move Indoors

Fall is when you’re likely to see the biggest spider invasion. As temperatures drop, spiders start seeking warmth and shelter—often inside homes. Male spiders also become more visible as they search for female mates.

4.Winter: Hiding in the Shadows

Most spiders slow down in winter, but they don’t completely disappear. They hide in warm, undisturbed places like basements, attics, and closets. Some species even survive by staying in wall cracks or under furniture.

How to Keep Spiders Out of Your Home:

• Seal cracks and gaps around doors and windows.

• Keep your home clean and clutter-free to remove hiding spots.

• Use natural deterrents like peppermint oil or vinegar sprays.

• Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects (a spider’s main food source).

• Regularly remove webs from corners and ceilings.
