Common House Spider, Wolf Spider & More
SPIDERS
Most Minnesota spiders are harmless, but an infestation signals a larger insect problem. Wolf spiders and fishing spiders can be alarming in size.
SIGNS OF INFESTATION
- Webs in corners, basements, and garages
- Egg sacs attached to webs or hidden in crevices
- Spiders visible at night near light sources
- Shed skins in undisturbed areas
FAST FACTS
Spiders are predators — high spider activity means lots of other insects.
The brown recluse is rare in Minnesota but does occasionally appear.
Wolf spiders don't build webs — they hunt on the ground.
Most house spiders live less than a year.
PREVENTION TIPS
- Reduce clutter in basements, garages, and storage areas.
- Seal cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.
- Reduce outdoor lighting that attracts insects (spider food).
- Vacuum webs and egg sacs regularly.
