Q: Are spiders moving inside because of the cold?
A: Interestingly, most of the spiders you encounter inside were already living in or around your home. They didn't migrate in from the garden. What changes this time of year is that their prey, primarily insects, becomes less abundant outdoors, pushing spiders to move into areas of the home where warmth attracts insects, like around light fittings and window frames. Male spiders also become more mobile as they search for females to mate with, which increases the likelihood of encounters indoors. A professional spider treatment applies residual products to known harborage and webbing zones, significantly reducing the population before activity peaks again.
