While spiders can be useful for nature, it's not always pleasant to meet them in your living space.

If you notice more spider webs in your house than usually, then something might be attracting them.

Here are some reasons for that.

Abundance of prey

Spiders are attracted to areas where their prey, such as insects and flies, are plentiful. 

If your house has an abundance of insects, it can attract spiders that build webs to capture and feed on their prey.

Shelter and hiding spots

Spiders often choose locations with suitable hiding spots and protection from predators or disturbances. 

Cluttered or less-frequented areas in the house, such as attics, basements, closets, or unused rooms, may provide ideal conditions for spiders to establish their webs.

Suitable environmental conditions

Spiders prefer environments that offer suitable humidity levels and temperatures. 

If certain areas of your house provide the right conditions, such as dampness or warmth, spiders may find them conducive to web-building and reproduction.

Lack of disturbance

Spider webs can persist when they are undisturbed for longer periods. 

If certain areas of the house are left untouched or undisturbed, spiders may continue to build and maintain their webs without interference.
