Attics and basements in Seattle are more than just storage areas they’re prime real estate for spiders. These dark, undisturbed spaces often hide thriving infestations that can eventually spread into living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.
Why Spiders Thrive in Attics & Basements
- Darkness & Seclusion → Spiders prefer areas rarely disturbed by people.
- Moisture Problems → Basements often collect dampness, attracting insects and the spiders that prey on them.
- Storage Clutter → Cardboard, clothing, and boxes give spiders nesting sites and places for egg sacs.
- Entry Points → Roof gaps, vents, crawl spaces, and foundation cracks let them slip in from outdoors.
If left untreated, these infestations often expand to the rest of the home.
Warning Signs of Spider Activity
- Thick webs in rafters, beams, or corners
- Egg sacs on insulation, stored items, or cardboard boxes
- House spiders or hobo spiders appearing in main living areas
- An increase in insects in the basement or attic (spiders feed where food is available)
