Basements, attics, and crawlspaces in Seattle homes are the perfect hiding spots for spiders. Dark, damp, and undisturbed, these areas attract both the insects spiders feed on and the spiders themselves. While most are harmless, the sheer number of webs and sightings can feel overwhelming and in some cases, venomous species may be a concern.
Why Spiders Target Basements & Attics in Seattle
- Moisture attracts insects → which then attracts spiders.
- Gaps & cracks around foundations, vents, and windows are easy entry points.
- Seasonal shifts (especially fall) push spiders indoors for warmth.
Signs You Have a Spider Infestation
- Heavy cobwebs in corners, ceiling beams, or rafters.
- Frequent spider sightings when entering rarely used spaces.
- Clusters of egg sacs tucked into corners or behind stored items.
Why Professional Spider Extermination Matters
DIY vacuuming and sprays can help temporarily, but infestations keep returning without:
- Targeted treatments to eliminate both adult spiders and egg sacs.
- Moisture & pest control to cut down on the insect population spiders feed on.
- Exclusion work sealing off cracks, vents, and foundation gaps.
