Spiders are not insects.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They belong to a different group of animals called arachnids, which also include scorpions, ticks, and mites. One main difference between spiders and insects is the number of legs \u2013 spiders have eight legs, while insects have six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most spiders have eight eyes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Their eyes are arranged in various patterns on their head, and not all species use their eyes in the same way. Some have excellent vision and use their eyes to hunt, while others rely more on other senses like touch and vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiders have eight legs. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These legs help them move around, catch prey, and build webs. Their legs are covered in tiny hairs and equipped with specialized structures that help spiders grip onto surfaces and manipulate their environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How long a spider lives can vary widely depending on species, environment, and individual circumstances. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some spider species<\/a> may only live for a few months, while others can survive for several years. Generally, female spiders tend to live longer than males.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Spiders are carnivores, which means they eat other animals. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most spiders feed on insects like flies, mosquitoes, and ants. Some larger spiders may even eat small vertebrates like frogs or lizards. They catch their prey using various methods, including spinning webs, ambushing, or actively hunting down their victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiders molt as they grow. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In spiders, molting is the process of shedding their hard exoskeleton, which protects their bodies. After molting, spiders appear with a new, larger exoskeleton, which eventually hardens to provide support until the next molt. Molting is essential for spiders to grow larger and replace damaged body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pests that can be confused with [pest name format=”plural-lower”].<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spider beetles are often confused with spiders because they have long legs and round abdomens. They\u2019re insects, though, with only six legs. Harvestmen, sometimes known as Daddy longlegs, are also confused with spiders, and they are arachnids but are part of the Oplilione family. They do not spin webs, and they only have two eyes. Read more about Daddy Longlegs in the FAQs below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Signs of an [pest name format=”lower”] infestation.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You might already know for sure that you have an [pest name format=”lower”] problem. Here are a couple of the most common signs of spider infestation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Visible webs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Seeing spider webs inside and outside your home, especially in corners, ceilings, windowsills, and even inside exterior light fixtures, is a clear sign of spider activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sightings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you notice spiders crawling around your home, particularly in higher numbers or more often, it could suggest an infestation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Egg sacs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Spider egg sacs are variable in shape, size, and color but are generally round and often found in hidden areas like corners, behind furniture, or in the attic or basement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Shed skins<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Like other arthropods, spiders molt as they grow, leaving behind their shed exoskeletons. Finding these skins around your home can indicate spider activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Prey items<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Spiders often leave remnants of their prey, such as insect carcasses or small insects caught in their webs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
