What are cellar spiders?
Commonly referred to as “daddy long legs”, cellar spiders have distinctive long, skinny legs and a very small body.
They range in size from 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch. Cellar spiders come in several color variations including pale yellow, tan, light brown, and gray.
As their name suggests, these spiders tend to live in and hang out in dark, damp areas like basements.
Are cellar spiders dangerous?
Cellar spiders do not have the strength to bite humans and inject venom. They are considered nuisance pests. Once they catch prey in their web, they will abandon it and build a new one causing a lot of webs to be built in a relatively short period of time.
Why do I have a cellar spider problem?
Cellar spiders are drawn to dark areas with higher humidity levels. Therefore, they will invade bathrooms, garages, sheds, the corners of windows and ceilings, and in closets, crawl spaces, and in cabinets.
