What Happens To The Spiders In Oklahoma City In The Winter?

Many people think that pest issues die down in the winter, and this can be true in certain cases. The cold does kill off certain bugs and slow others down, but spiders aren’t phased by a drop in temperatures. You see, they’re actually built for winter, equipped with a sort of natural antifreeze system that allows them to remain outdoors during the colder months. So why does it seem like you have even more of them in the winter?
 
While spiders won’t enter your home in search of warmth, they will enter your home closely on the heels of their favorite food: insects. With so many insects invading your house trying to escape the cold, spiders know that your home could be their best chance at a sustainable hunting ground.
 
If you’re seeing more spiders in your house during the winter, it’s likely that they’ve been there all along. Now they’re just fully grown, more numerous and noticeable, and having to search inside for food rather than outside. Spiders also multiply quickly, so a few in the summer could be a full-blown infestation by the winter.

While it isn’t necessarily dangerous to have spiders in your house, it isn’t a comfortable feeling seeing them dart back into tiny cracks in the wall. Plus, who wants to walk through a spiderweb in their own house? Since spiders feed on insects, many people refer to them as natural pest control, but we prefer completely pest-free homes instead.
 
If you’re getting tired of spider problems and unsightly webs, don’t try going to the Internet for home remedies and quick fixes. These solutions will simply waste your time. In fact, there really aren’t any guarantees when it comes to DIY pest control methods. However, there are a few things you can do to limit spiders’ attraction to your home.
