You noticed the spider. What you might not have noticed is what it’s been eating.
Tiny insects around a window, in the basement, or near an entryway can make your home a good hunting spot. So when spiders keep appearing, removing the one you see may leave the reason it stayed completely untouched.
That doesn’t mean one spider signals a hidden infestation. But repeated sightings are worth looking into, especially if you’re also noticing other bugs around your Maine home.
Start with the little things. Repair damaged screens, check gaps around doors, and address damp areas that may attract insects. When there’s less prey and fewer ways inside, you’re giving spiders fewer reasons to settle in.
