Behavior

Habitat
Spiders create their habitats in secluded areas like corners, basements, garages, and gardens. They spin intricate webs to catch prey or construct burrows where they wait for insects to pass by.
Prevention
To prevent spider infestations, keep your home clean and clutter-free, regularly dust and vacuum, seal cracks and gaps, and keep outdoor lighting to a minimum, as light attracts insects, which in turn attract spiders.
