Why Spiders Like Your Home 

There are many types of spiders in Jacksonville and most are not harmful, with the exception of brown recluse and black widow spiders. When finding places to build their webs, spiders are seeking abundant food sources. Since spiders feed on other insects, having another pest problem in the house or yard can actually be attracting spiders to your property. 

Spiders may be drawn to your home for: 

• Abundant insects inside or in the yard 
• Trash cans stored outside but not tightly sealed
• Damp garden beds or piles of wood in the yard that harbor insects
• Aphids on plants in your landscape beds 

Your exterior lighting may also be attracting spiders and the insects they feed on. You can turn off porch lights to discourage insects from congregating outside. Spiders and other insects are most attracted to bright white lightbulbs. If you still want lighting, you may want to consider switching out your white bulbs for yellow lightbulbs, which are not as attractive to pests.
