Specimen · Spiders
Did you know?
Bugs crunch when you step on them because their skeleton is on the outside. Spiders have eight legs and are not insects at all.
Signs to look for
- Webs in corners, ceilings and eaves
- Egg sacs in storerooms
- Spiders around outdoor lights
Why it matters
- A few species bite painfully
- Webs make lobbies and storerooms look neglected
- They point to an insect problem underneath
Where they hide
- Ceiling corners and roof eaves
- Storerooms and boxes
- Around outdoor lights
What you can do today
- Sweep webs regularly
- Use yellow outdoor bulbs that attract fewer insects
- Store boxes off the floor
