Common House Spiders In Hartford, CT

Spiders are commonly found in every corner of the United States and throughout the world. A spider is a small, eight-legged creature that has an innate ability to strike fear in the heart of the observer. Their appearance alone demands respect. Another notable feature is that they are also very proficient in their ability to quickly spin webs for the purpose of catching other insects for food.

While there are several other species, some of the more common house spiders found in Hartford include the American house spider, wolf spider and yellow sac spider. Regardless of the type of spiders residing in your home, they are probably there because of a presence of other bugs and insects. Spiders feed predominately on insects and bugs. Not controlling other insects automatically provides a convenient source of food in which the spider population is able to thrive.
