More on spiders for Brock homeowners
| What the guides say | Guide |
|---|---|
| Think of it as a simple chain: property conditions attract insects, insects become a food source, and spiders follow the food source. Once prey is available in a spot, a spider has a reason to stay there. | Why Spiders Are Inside Your Home (And What They're Actually Following) |
| Most spiders have venom glands but rarely bite people, and only a few species have a bite that matters. | Health Canada: spiders |
| The better question isn't "what does my house have that spiders love?" It's "what is attracting the spiders here?" Spiders are hunters, not scavengers looking for crumbs. A clean home with an active insect population outside can have just as many spiders as a messy one. | Why Spiders Are Inside Your Home (And What They're Actually Following) |
