Winter is here and that means different pests and critters are nestled down for the cold. As one of the most common household pests, you’re probably wondering how spiders hunker down for the winter, and how that affects you and your home.
Let me give you some answers. And while I’m at it, I’ll make sure to tell you how you can keep your home clean from spiders during these chilly months.
If you’d like to let a professional handle your spiders this winter, contact us at LOCAL Bug Guy. We’ve made hundreds of happy customers across California and Utah for years.

What Spiders Do When It Gets Cold
A lot of common spiders only have a lifespan of one to two years, so they take their survival seriously. When winter comes around, they go into full self-defense mode.
Once the temperature dips below fifty degrees fahrenheit, spiders start looking for cozy places to hide until the weather gets warmer again. They become a lot less active, and their top priorities become safety and finding good places to lay their eggs.
To them, your house looks like prime real estate.
Spiders will try to enter your home through cracks and small gaps in windows and doors. Once inside, they’ll try to find quiet, undisturbed areas like your attic, basement, or garage. There, they’ll build webs, lay their eggs, and lay low until spring.
What You Can Do About It
Keep treating your home for spiders! Some people are tempted to treat their homes for spiders less when winter comes around because spiders aren’t as visible around the house. The truth is that you might still have spiders, but they’re just finding smarter places to hide.
If you want to do pest control yourself, treat your home with a product like Ortho Home Defense at least once every 8 weeks (or whatever the directions say on the bottle). We recommend using the whole bottle to get the strongest effect.
Or if you’d prefer to let the professionals handle it, let a pest control company like LOCAL Bug Guy treat your home at least once for the winter months. We’ll make sure that your home is fully protected from spiders so it feels cleaner, safer, and more comfortable.
