The answer to 'spider season' is that spider activity and population numbers typically peak in the fall, especially during September and October. This is because spiders are seeking mates and females are laying eggs to prepare for the next generation. Homeowners are more likely to see an increase in spider sightings and webs around this time of year.
Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem, helping to control populations of other insects. While they can be a nuisance, most spiders found in homes are not dangerous and pose little threat to humans. However, if you have an unusually high number of spiders or are concerned about venomous species, it's best to contact a professional pest control technician for an inspection and treatment recommendations.
