Spring Time Showing
If you are reading this, it is likely that you are curious as to why spiders seem to come out in the spring.
It is during this season that these pests come out to set the pace for the summertime reproductive season.
If you observe spiders in your home, it is not something new. In fact, those same spiders likely took refuge in your home last fall to escape the harsh environmental conditions and protect themselves. They could have been hiding in your closets, cabinets, your basement, your attic – and any other location where they had access to a perceived food source.
Spring marks the time when they come out, start setting up residence, and preparing for those upcoming baby spiders.
Food Source
Now, when spiders enter a location – such as your home – during the fall, they will take cover where they fell there is a source of food; however, most of these creatures enter a state of inactivity during the cooler months.
Many refer to this as a “winter slumber”.
If the species in or around your home is the type to indulge in this winter rest, they will come out during the spring to find a new food source that they may use to strengthen up prior to their reproductive periods.
