Webbing & Ground Spiders
In Australia, webbing and ground spiders thrive in various areas of the home, including gardens, yards and indoor spaces such as basements and attics. These spiders spin webs to catch prey and create burrows in soil or under rocks. While they are generally beneficial predators that help control insect populations, their presence can cause concern for homeowners. Hygienically, spider webs can accumulate dust and debris, affecting indoor air quality. Economically, the fear or phobia of spiders may lead to the need for professional pest control services, resulting in additional expenses. However, their bites are rarely harmful to humans and are typically only a concern for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.
