cellar spider in north west georgia
Cellar spiders have distinctive long, skinny legs and very small bodies. These are the spiders that are commonly referred to as “daddy longleg” spiders. Cellar spiders range in size from ¼th to 3/8th of an inch. They 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.
Cellar spiders are considered to be 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. Cellar spiders do not have the strength to bite humans and inject venom into them.
Cellar spiders are drawn to living in dark areas with higher humidity levels. Therefore, they will invade bathrooms, garages, sheds, the corners of windows and ceilings, closets, crawl spaces, and cabinets.
