October’s wet, cool weather in the Pacific Northwest drives spiders into Seattle area homes, seeking dry shelter. From common house spiders to hobo spiders, these pests thrive in rainy conditions, spinning webs in corners and basements. AAA Pest Control, a Puget Sound leader since 1985, shares tips to keep spiders out this fall.
Why Spiders in October? Rain-soaked yards push spiders indoors through cracks, vents, or windows. In the Seattle area, species like the hobo spider, which can bite if provoked, are active in fall, nesting in cluttered or damp areas.
Prevention Tips:
- Seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.
- Vacuum webs and corners regularly to disrupt nesting.
- Reduce clutter in basements and garages to limit hiding spots.
- Keep outdoor lights off, as they attract insects that spiders feed on.
