What Are Common Signs of a Spider Infestation?

Spiders are often found in homes, gardens, attics, and crawl spaces. They live in dark and secluded spaces where they can prey on a variety of insects and other spiders. While the majority of spiders are harmless, they can be a nuisance in your home and some pose a health risk.

As the temperatures drop, spiders may seek refuge in homes. They are often looking for a mate or seeking food. During this time, you may notice more spiders than usual. When this occurs, you may wonder if you have a spider infestation.
