There are a lot of spiders out there. There are even a fair number of spiders that are totally happy with making your home, into their home. One type of spider that wants to share your living space is called the common house spider. Common is a great name, because they are found in living rooms all across the world.
General Information:
Common house spiders can range in color from brown to grey. They have distinctive black lines on their bodies and legs. House spiders are small. Female house spiders can grow to about the size of half of a pencil eraser. Common house spiders create a tangled web mess which traps any potential prey and allows the spider to attack. You will often find a lot of cobwebs around your home; this is because common house spiders are picky. They will spin a few webs, decide they don’t like the location and move on. This picky behavior can result in a lot of thin cobwebs. One of the reasons that common house spiders are so effective at living in homes is due to the number of eggs they produce. In one egg sac, there can be as many as 250 eggs. Common house spiders do not stop at one egg sac. A healthy female house spider can produce ten to fifteen egg sacs in her lifetime. That is a lot of spiders for any homeowner to deal with.
