Spiders are a common sight in British Columbia, often becoming unintentional houseguests in search of warmth and food. Understanding their identification, behaviour, and control is essential to managing their presence in homes.
British Columbia is home to a variety of spider species, including house spiders, wolf spiders, and black widow spiders. They range in size and color but generally have eight legs and two main body segments.
Spiders are mostly beneficial predators, feeding on insects and other arthropods. They create webs to catch prey or hunt actively. While some prefer damp, dark environments, others might be found in dry, undisturbed areas of the home.
Most spiders are harmless to humans and actually help control pest populations. However, bites from spiders like the black widow can be medically significant, although these instances are rare.
By maintaining a tidy environment and addressing pest control proactively, you can limit spider presence and coexist peacefully with these beneficial creatures.

Spiders are expert silk producers, and they can create different types of silk for various purposes. Some silk is sticky for catching prey, while other kinds are strong and flexible, used to construct webs or create egg sacs. A single spider species can produce up to seven different types of silk, showcasing their incredible versatility and adaptability in the natural world.
