Should I worry about a spider on my ceiling?

In the United States alone, you’ll find that several thousand species of spiders roam and make their way into houses, gardens, and other types of spaces such as offices. Seeing the occasional spider on the ceiling or wall may make you feel a little queasy, but it’s nothing that you should be worried about.

Why do spiders stay in the same place for days?

Web-spinning spiders obviously remain motionless while they are waiting for something to land in their web. Hunting spiders are much more active, but many of them are nocturnal predators and spend the day tucked away in a nest or under a rock – again, this is to conserve energy and avoid becoming prey.

Will spiders crawl on you at night?

When it comes to spiders, the idea that they crawl on you when you sleep is a myth. Spiders tend to shy away from humans, and just because you’re asleep, doesn’t mean they take that as an opportunity to attack. If a spider did happen to crawl over you at night, more than likely the passage will be uneventful.

What attracts spiders in your room?
