If you think you have a spider infestation, there are a few things you can look for to be sure. Check for webs in dark, secluded areas both inside and outside your home. If you find webs, look for an egg sac or spiderlings, which will be a good indication that there are adult spiders present. Pay particular attention to any cracks or crevices in your walls, as these are common entry points for spiders. You may also see spider droppings, which look like tiny brown specks. If you suspect you have a spider infestation, call a pest control professional to have them assess the situation and recommend the best course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many eyes do spiders have?
All spiders have eight eyes.
Can spiders see humans?
Yes, spiders can see humans. In fact, some spiders have a very complex visual system that allows them to see a wide range of shapes and colors. However, not all spiders have good eyesight and rely more on touch and vibrations for hunting their prey.
How do jumping spiders see?
When hunting, the eyes of jumping spiders see in three different ways, using three different sets of eyes: The spider first senses movement of distant prey with the side eyes (PLE), which provide a blurry wide-angle image. After determining the distance and angle of approach to its prey, the spider uses its central eye to "pigeonhole" or narrow in on its prey by increasing focus and intensity. Finally, when close enough to capture and eat its prey, the spider retracts its central eye so that only the smaller side eyes are visible.
How does a spider see its prey?
A spider's eyes are arranged in such a way that it can see its prey from a wider angle with the side eyes (PLE) and then focus in on the prey with the large middle front eyes (AME).
Do all spiders have 8 eyes?
Most spiders have eight eyes, but some can have six or fewer or none at all.
